Known as the Bluegrass State, its horse ranches across fields of bluegrass are a common sight in certain parts of the state, lending it a ton of southern charm. Kentucky bingo has always been popular, and it remains so even now. Use these listings to find a bingo hall in a town or city near you.
If you want to play bingo, you’ll need to visit a bingo hall! Bingo halls can be anything from a purpose built bingo venue or a room in a casino to a church hall or community center. Despite the differences between bingo halls, you can expect some similarities too. There will be seats and tables for the players, and at the front there will be space for the bingo caller to read the numbers out, somewhere they can be seen and heard easily. There may also be refreshments, a café, or other amenities.
If you’ve never been to a bingo hall before, you might wish there was a guide that could tell you what to expect before you arrive… well look no further! Here’s what to expect from your average bingo hall. Everyone will take a seat before the game begins, and then the bingo caller will use either a roll cage or an electronic caller to dispense and shout the numbers. You can then either mark the numbers off on your cards, or, if you have an electronic card, watch as they are marked off for you. The winning pattern may change between games, so be sure to check what you are aiming for! If you are lucky enough to be the first player to match the winning pattern, shout bingo! When bingo is called, the bingo caller will check the player’s card to confirm their win is genuine. They will then be confirmed the winner and receive their prize. Often after a game there will be a short break for players to use the bathroom or get a drink, for example. Then everyone is back in their seats for the next game to begin!
