We Find Out What Pull Tabs are at the Mecca Bar in Faribanks, Alaska







We stop for a drink
at the Mecca Bar.












The plastic cubes on the
counter have Pull Tabs.







The only conversation among our fellow bar patrons is purchasing Pull Tabs.  People sit quietly, pulling tabs off the cards, looking for winning combinations.  Non-winning cards are tossed into small buckets on the bar.

Alaska doesn't have casinos.  The only form of legalized gambling is Pull Tabs.  Winners get cash. The organization that manages the Pull Tabs funds pre-selected non profit groups.







The bar is long &
curved.












Tired of Pull Tabs?

Try a game of pool.
