Indiana

Indiana may be known for corn and racing, but bingo is a popular charity pastime there too. Bingo allows Hoosiers of Indiana to enjoy a fun game whilst doing some good for a worthy cause! Find bingo halls in Indiana and explore what the state’s best bingo venues have to offer.
What are bingo halls?
A bingo hall is any venue that is set up to host a bingo game! A bingo hall could be a community center, a conference room, or a church hall, so long as it is being used for a game of bingo. Bingo halls might vary greatly in how they look, but once they’re set up for bingo, you’ll feel right at home. All bingo halls will provide chairs and tables for the players to sit at, as well as somewhere for the bingo caller. The bingo caller may be a person or a machine, and they could be drawing balls from a roll-cage or using an electronic number generator. Either way, bingo fun is sure to follow.
How does a bingo game work?
If you’ve never played bingo before, you might not know how a bingo night tends to run. No sweat; BingoPort are here to give you a quick rundown of your typical bingo game! If you can arrive early, it’s a great idea. This will give you chance to get settled, find a seat, buy your tickets, and hopefully chat with your fellow players. Everyone has their own bingo cards full of numbers, and will be hoping to match the winning pattern. To do this, players will mark off the numbers as they are called, and the first player to cover all the squares needed for the winning pattern must shout BINGO! Once the game is over, there is usually a short break, and then the next game will start. Everyone will fall quiet and it’ll be eyes down for the fun to begin again!

What makes a great bingo hall?
Everyone has different ideas about what makes a bingo hall great. The best way to discover your perfect bingo hall is to consider what you love about bingo, aside from winning of course!
