What are bingo halls?

A bingo hall is any venue that is set up to hold a bingo game. It could be a church hall, a community center, or any kind of room that has been borrowed for bingo! Bingo halls may look very different from the outside, but inside, they have a lot of similarities. There will be chairs and tables set up for the players to use, and a place for the bingo caller to stand. This is usually at the front of the room, so everyone can see and hear the caller clearly.

How does a bingo game work?

New to bingo? No sweat, here’s what you can expect from your typical game of bingo. You’ll soon see there’s nothing to it! It’s always a good idea to arrive early so that you’ll have time to get settled before the game begins. You’ll need to buy your tickets, find a seat, and maybe even chat with your fellow players. When the game begins, everyone will fall silent so that the bingo caller can be heard without interruption. They will call out the numbers as they are drawn, and players will mark the numbers on their cards. The first player to match the winning pattern will shout BINGO to get the caller’s attention. The winner’s card will be checked to confirm that they have won. There may be more than one prize at stake during a game; if this is the case, the game will continue. Once all the prizes have been won, the game will end, and players will usually take a short break before the next game begins.

How do I choose a bingo hall in Texas?

With the options available to you in Texas, how do you choose a hall? The best way to start is to see the halls closest to home for you.

Grab a friend and go have some fun at the bingo.

What makes a great bingo hall?

To know what makes a bingo hall really good, it’s important to know what you love about bingo. Everyone will have a different idea about what a great hall looks like! Bingo in Texas is only permitted for charity, and charitable organizations must meet criteria to be allowed to hold a bingo fundraiser. This may mean you are slightly more limited for options, but you can still choose a venue you love. See which charities are holding bingo games locally, and you might discover that a charity you’d love to support is on the list. If you already support a charity, you could see if they are holding a bingo game specifically. Whatever you love about bingo, you can find out everything to help you choose a venue right here in the BingoPort pages.

What you need to know about Texas and gambling

Texas is very strict on gambling, and is often considered the toughest state when it comes to gambling laws. Casinos are only allowed on Native Reservation land, and all other forms of gambling are forbidden, except for dog and horse track betting. Even social betting at home is banned. That means no Texas Hold’em night! Bingo and lotteries are legal in Texas, providing that they are run by a charitable organization and meet the legal requirements to qualify.

Interesting facts about Texas

  • There are plenty of famous people from Texas; Patrick Swayze, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Clarkson, Buddy Holly… the list is immense.
  • Texas’ flag is- you guessed it- a lone star, with blue, red, and white stripes dividing the flag into thirds.
