Fundraising
Add card sales without adding another event.
One 24-number draw can support sales throughout the day. Staff sell concealed cards from the POS as people are ready to play—without repeatedly stopping to run another game.
Tornado / 24-number bingo
Call once.
Sell cards
all day.
Tornado turns familiar 24-number bingo into a simple way to fundraise and keep people entertained. Call the 24 numbers once, then continue selling concealed cards tied to that draw throughout the day.
- One 24-number draw
- Cards sold throughout the day
- Paper or devices

The need is already there
More useful time.
More ways to fundraise.
Organizations do not need another complicated program. They need something that can meet people where they already gather.
One draw · Sales all day
Entertainment
Give people something to do while they wait.
Keep players engaged before, between, and after bingo sessions—or while members sit at the bar, gather at a table, and wait for food.
Operators & jurisdictions
Use the format that fits your requirements.
Paper only. Paper with a card minder. Or paper optional. Tornado can be configured around how your organization is allowed and equipped to play.
Simple by design
Call 24 numbers once.
Keep selling cards.
Traditional session games ask staff and players to gather around a repeated start-and-stop schedule. Tornado gives the organization one draw to manage, while players can purchase concealed cards tied to that draw throughout the day.

For operators
Less interruption. Less labor.
Staff can focus on normal operations while the POS manages card sales and delivery.
For players
Easy to understand. Easy to join.
It is still a bingo card, 24 called numbers, familiar daubing, and winning patterns.
One system, three practical answers
Your operation is not generic.
Your bingo should not be either.
Each Tornado play begins with authorized, concealed cards purchased through the point of sale. What happens next is up to the configuration that works for you.
01 Tornado Bonanza
When paper is the right answer.
Print only what players purchase.
Tornado Bonanza is a paper-only, print-on-demand game. The attendant releases and prints concealed cards at the POS; players hold and daub the paper through the 24-number draw.
- No player device required
- No preprinted inventory to manage
- Familiar paper bingo experience
02 Tornado card minders
When players want paper—and more presentation.
Pair the printed card with a card minder.
The player receives printed paper, and the same purchased card is displayed on a configured card minder. Electronic daubing can add two bingo themes with associated prizes, plus bonus play.
- Matching paper and electronic cards
- Paper remains in the player’s hand
- Electronic display and daubing assistance
Same purchased cards ↔ two views
03 Tornado card minders
When paper is the constraint.
Make paper optional.
Purchased cards can be revealed and played on a phone, handset, tablet, desktop all-in-one, or another configured card minder—so an organization does not have to use paper it does not need.
- BYOD or organization-provided devices
- Less paper handling and waste
- Flexible device mix for the floor
The game stays bingo
A card. A draw.
A reason to stay.
Technology changes how cards can be delivered and daubed. It does not replace the familiar foundation of the game.
- 01
Purchase
Concealed cards are authorized and purchased from an attendant at the POS.
- 02
Receive
The purchased cards are printed, revealed on a selected device, or delivered both ways.
- 03
Draw & daub
Your organization draws 24 bingo numbers. Players daub paper, or the system applies the draw to the electronic view.
- 04
Win
Complete a configured pattern and win its assigned prize. One card may qualify for more than one pattern award.

Built to adapt
Start with the need.
Configure from there.
Different jurisdictions and operators have different requirements. Tornado gives you a practical set of choices instead of forcing every organization into the same setup.
Talk through your requirementsA familiar game, made more useful
More than 20 years of
24-number bingo experience.
Tornado’s format has been played in Florida bingo halls for more than two decades. That experience informs a system designed to adapt—not a claim that one configuration fits every jurisdiction.
The core game and the optional membership tools can be configured independently, so an organization can solve today’s fundraising need without taking on features it does not need.
Find your fit
You know the need.
Let’s configure the answer.
In 15–30 minutes, we’ll start with your organization, your floor, and your requirements—then show the Tornado format that makes sense.
