Where can I play bingo in Landover Hills, Maryland?

Bingo is played in venues called bingo halls, but that is just a general term for anywhere hosting a bingo game. Your local church could also be a bingo hall, if they're running a game!

What happens during a game of bingo?

Bingo is tons of fun, and part of the reason is that it's so fast! This may seem a little scary if you've never played before, but bingo is super easy to learn. Even if you're a total beginner, have a quick read of this simple guide, and you'll be a bingo master in no time! It's always best to arrive a little before the game's advertised start time. You'll need to find a seat and get your bingo cards before the game starts, and latecomers will have to wait until the next round! Your bingo cards have a 5x5 grid of numbers on them, and a blank middle square. The numbers can be anything between 1 and 75, and each bingo card is different. When the game starts, everyone will fall quiet to hear the bingo caller. The bingo caller will announce the winning pattern; this tells you which boxes on your card you will need to mark to win. The game will then start, and the caller will draw and announce numbers one at a time. Mark the number on your card if you have it! The first player to mark all the boxes for the winning pattern must shout BINGO!
