First time attending. Was overwhelmed by all the community support, the fun and the money prizes! Workers were very pleasant.

“Bigger Bingo Hall makes Bigger Mistakes”: A really unfortunate night and a really unfortunate sight of expansion and the loss of scope. As in infrequent bingo player at this hall, I’ve seen it evolve over time. With the new expansion, i’ve caught my eye to a couple of things over the weeks. (1) The pull tabs and strips have become the ONLY games of bingo. The “specials” are the actual bingo sheets that people like to play with. Instead, you’re playing with $5 strips just like everyone else and are inclined to buy more packs. (2) The poor pull tab workers are pretty much forced to just keep selling and selling and selling and selling. I overheard 3 of them sigh when I asked if that was the last pull tab of the night and they replied with “No…” (3) They make you take a number and find your seat, with essentially takes you about 30 minutes to wait for them to go one by one, number by number. Instead of buying people in as they come in. They are operating as if they have a 300 person hall.

BIG MISTAKE (Not sure if I will ever go back because of this): First, I will be filing a Franchise Tax Board inquiry and report to the California Gambling Control Commission because of this. At the very end of the night, a pull tab game was being played. The player next to me had yelled “Bingo” on the number 66 and stood up with his ticket raised in his hand. Everyone in the hall knew a bingo was called, When the verifier came to check his ticket, she even went out to grab the ticket for verification and started yelling out the number for verification. The caller looked up and saw this interaction, but he kept calling the game and next number 56. Everyone in the hall said no no no stop, because we all knew he had won. The caller looked confused, looked up, didn’t ask any questions and just said “I didn’t hear it”. When he knows it’s a “hear none, see none” policy for ADA purposes specifically for Bingo. He kept the game going and everyone erupted in outrage. And he just. kept. going. He didn’t stop for management. He didn’t ask questions. He made a decision as if he was management and he was very in the wrong. This left the ACTUAL player who did win to be $1199 questioning. Many players left after this because of its unfairness.

I spent hundred here and I would think twice before spending one more dollar here. They have flown too close to the sun and they are just pumping out games for money and not for the nonprofit cause itself. They need to pause. Think about the game of bingo itself and go with it. We don’t need 10 games with $1000 payouts. We need 20 games with $500 payouts so we can feel like we’re playing a game.

Not a good look. And not a legal one either

Love it here. We were first-timers, and everyone was sooooo helpful, and I mean EVERY ONE. They came by to check on us to make sure we were doing ok throughout the evening. If you are new to bingo, don't be afraid to go because these folks help you and explain what's going on and what you need to do. So definitely recommend coming here. My husband and daughter have already been back for more fun!

This place is a hidden gem. Everyone is so nice, the games run smooth and on time. As a beginner things can be a bit confusing, but the staff is so helpful and the other players are cool about explaining what things mean or what's going on. Lots of opportunities to win from small to large prizes. I've been a few times and it's lots of fun, I'll be back!
