Charities’ bingo cut under 6%

Analysis: Charities’ bingo cut under 6% In the first eight months of legalized bingo in Arkansas, less than 6 percent of the proceeds went to charity. The state Department of Finance and Administration on Friday released to legislators its analysis of charitable bingo finances in Arkansas through March 31. Total bingo proceeds in the state were $10.3 million. “We’re having more people playing than we anticipated,” said state Assistant Revenue Commissioner John Theis. He said the department last year made no prediction aboutthe amount that would go to charity.
