What is a bingo hall?

A bingo hall is anywhere that you can play bingo! That does mean that some bingo halls are just that, like Kansas City Optimist Bingo, but other bingo halls may have a day job! This is especially true in Missouri, where bingo is played to raise money for charities; lots of charities host bingo games in their own venues. As a result, you might find that your local bingo hall is also a veterans' club like American Legion, a church like St Jude's Parish Bingo, or even somewhere like a school or a bar! Wherever you end up for your bingo games, you're sure to have a great time. And in Missouri, you can enjoy the bingo even more knowing it will be raising money for a worthy cause! Whether your chosen bingo hall is big or small, busy or cozy, you'll have a fantastic experience enjoying one of the world's best loved games. After all, wherever it's held, bingo is bingo, and that's part of the magic! When you play, you're joining a worldwide community of bingo players!

How does a bingo game work?

Bingo is a much-loved game, but if you've never played before, it might seem a little daunting! It's fast paced, and everyone seems to know what they're doing... but the truth is, bingo is pretty simple once you know what's happening! Here's your guide to what happens at a typical bingo game. It's always a good idea to arrive early, because there are few things to do before the game actually begins. You'll need to park up if you drive, pay an entry fee if there is one, and once you're in the hall, you can get your bingo cards. These might be covered by your entry fee, or you may have to pay for them. Once you've got your bingo cards, you can find a seat and settle in! When the game begins, the bingo caller will announce the prize up for grabs, as well as the pattern you have to match to win. This might be simple, like a line or a full house, or it could be something fancier like a fish, a checkerboard, or an arrow. Then the game will begin and everyone will have eyes down as the caller begins shouting the numbers out. Mark off the numbers on your card as they are called, and keep an eye on which boxes you need to mark for the winning pattern. The first player to match all the right boxes must shout BINGO!

What makes a fantastic bingo hall?

So, you've found your nearest bingo halls, but how do you know which ones are any good? Everyone has such positive things to say about their favourite bingo hall, but here's the thing- one player's 'perfect' bingo hall might not look anything like your idea of fun! The key to finding a perfect bingo hall is to find one that's perfect for YOU. Some players will enjoy a quiet, local bingo game with their church friends, while other players hanker after big, busy games with larger jackpots and more competition. Some bingo halls offer prizes rather than cash jackpots, which will delight some players but annoy the heck out of others who came seeking their prize in dollars! The answer to finding a fantastic bingo hall is to consider what makes a bingo night perfect for you, and find a hall that does the things you love.

Everything you need to know about gambling and Missouri

Several forms of gambling are legal in Missouri, when correctly licensed and legislated. Casinos are permitted on floating facilities like casino boats, and many resort hotels are constructed on the riverbanks to allow for an attached casino. Poker is available at several of these casinos, alongside the usual table games. This means that the casino industry is booming in Missouri, with tourists flocking to casino resorts for vacations and weekends away. Bingo is legal in Missouri if it is organised for charity, and it's a popular game. There is also a state lottery, the proceeds of which are put towards good causes like furthering education. Horse racing is legal in Missouri, but thanks to the state's huge casino industry, betting on horse racing is somewhat of a dead industry and does not really have a foothold within Missouri.
