Abstract: A method of linking a bingo style game to a series of pari-mutuel races or events. Numbers may be assigned to each participant of a pari-mutuel race or event by respective starting position. Each participant may be assigned a plurality of numbers, and two of the starting positions of the race or event may be assigned the same number. The numbers assigned for an individual race or event may have a dedicated column within a bingo-style score card. A minor prize may be awarded for each number on the score card associated with a winning participant of one race or event, and a major prize may be awarded if a plurality of numbers on the score card correspond to a winning participant of a race or event within the series. The series of pari-mutuel races or events may relate to dog racing, horse racing, harness racing, or jai alai.
