The Law Explained

The town of Bensalem requires anyone managing or calling a bingo game to have a squeaky-clean criminal record. Because bingo is technically a form of legalized gambling regulated heavily by state and local laws, authorities wanted to prevent organized crime from using church basements as money-laundering fronts. Your grandmother's bingo night is rigorously protected from mobsters.
