Layoff Bingo. 70"h. x 43"l. x 46"d. welded steel with oil finish. 1993
The Layoff Bingo game is played along the lines of traditional bingo. First, you pick out one of the three, two sided game cards. Next, the large inner number disk is spun counter clockwise until the disk stops at the central vertical indicator. Finally one places a stamped coin on the corresponding square on your game card. Spell out “layoff,” “drug abuse” or “death” and you win! Actually, everyone who plays the game loses.
