I like the new remake of this. match game, not so much.
True story:
I was raided by the FBI with my grandma when I was 15.
The local bingo hall chartered a bus and went to this "big bingo" game that was 24 hours on an Indian reservation. Each game paid a thousand and coveralls were like 5-10k. Oddly, the same payouts at invite bingos here in vegas now, but was 25 years ago. You only had to be 15, so I went with my grandma and a bunch of other family. During the middle of the game, the FBI raided the game and started arresting all the workers, even the floor workers, but not the customers. Floor workers threw their aprons on the floor and grabbed half our cards sitting down beside us. Outside there were dozens of white paddy wagon vans. At this time, the "charity" the game was supposed to be funding was an Indian museum. It turned out to be a one room museum and they were shutting them down for tax issues of some kind.
There is a reason I moved to vegas, but I miss the old school western vegas. I was here a year or two before the stardust and new frontier closing, but went to both implosions.
