Pull tabs – also known as break‑opens, instant bingo, or tear‑opens – are a fast-paced, easy-to-play form of instant-win lottery often found alongside bingo nights, charity events, and taverns. These small, perforated tickets conceal symbols or numbers that you reveal by pulling tabs: match the right combination and you win instantly. It’s a thrill-packed alternative to traditional bingo, perfect for a quick entertainment fix.
At Triple Crown Bingo, Pull Tabs are more than just a quick game – they’re a crowd favorite that complement our bingo sessions throughout the night. Played before, during, and after bingo rounds, Pull Tabs offer fast-paced excitement alongside potentially generous payouts.

What Are Pull Tabs?

Pull Tabs (also known as break‑opens or instant bingo tickets) are perforated game slips with hidden symbols or numbers. Players tear open the tabs and match the revealed symbols to see if they win. It's fast, easy, and doesn’t require waiting for numbers to be called.
