Where can I play bingo in Boring, Maryland?

Boring may only be a small town, but there are plenty of places to play bingo nearby! Anywhere that hosts bingo games is called a bingo hall.

There will be somewhere to get your bingo cards, tables and chairs to sit at, and somewhere for the bingo caller to stand. Aside from that, each hall will offer different facilities and will have its own unique atmosphere!

What happens in a bingo game?

Bingo is loved the world over for its fast-paced action, exciting prizes, and especially because it is easy to play! If you have never enjoyed bingo before, you'll need a quick run-down on how it works. You'll be a bingo master before you know it! Before the bingo game begins, everyone will get their bingo cards. Bingo cards have a 5x5 grid full of numbers, with a blank space in the middle. Players will then take their seats ready for the game. The bingo caller will announce the winning pattern, which tells players which boxes on their card they need to mark to win. Then the game can start! The bingo caller draws numbers randomly, and calls them out to the players, who then mark their card if they have that number. The first player to mark every box for the winning pattern shouts BINGO! This must be shouted quickly, before the next number is called. This player is then the winner!
