Wow, bingo!!! used to play alot. Love the daubers and paper cards. You could play most of the night for like 20 dollars. The food was always good too when they had it. My favorite was the fish frys. Smoking was always terrible though. Shame to sit there pregnant breathing in all that 2nd hand smoke.. Had good nights and sometimes someone would be on a streak. Loved those ladies with their good luck charms and like 20 cards to watch. Amazing. Thanks for this memory trip!!

I used to play it now and then, but i could never really enjoy it. For me it is a waste of 4 hrs. If i'm gonna sit still for 4 hrs i would rather do it outside haha!

My husband and I use to go all the time. I don't know why we stopped. I liked playing except when I wouldn't win. I know you cant' win everytime but it sure would be nice.

The last time I played bingo I won $300, which wasn't bad for a small town. it was my daughter's 17th birthday and she was 6 months pregnant and depressed, and I brought her with me to help because my eyesight isn't that good in places that aren't very well lit, things seem a bit blurry. People who played every day all day were so upset that I'd won when I only played occasionally that they tried to have my winnings taken away from me because my daughter was under age. I could see if she had had cards and her cards had won, but it was my numbers . she just yelled "Mom, look, you've won!" and right away the complaints started. but they gave me my money, and we split it three ways between our friend and my daughter and I.

Many years ago I had a neighbor that went to play every evening. She nagged me constantly to go with her so I would go once a week. I had a small family and didn't have much time or money, so just went to appease her. That only lasted for about six months and I didn't go anymore and didn't win anything, either. I used to play a bit online, but don't even do that anymore, just doesn't seem to be my 'thing'.

I love playing Bingo and it seems we never have time or money anymore to get out and play it. I have suggested a girls night out to the women in my family where we can go play Bingo and go out to eat and have some fun. Guys might hate the idea that they will be the ones stuck home with the kids though..lol.

I have not played Bingo in a number of years. I am now resigned to once a year at Thanksgiving. It is a really nice Bingo for charity where I can take my daughter it benefits Special Olympics and the main prizes are turkeys. They have about 50 door prizes which range from a 6 pk of soda pop to candles, gift certificates for dinner, lunch cooler, ornaments, ect... They have a nice Chinese Auction, a 50/50, a raffle for a basket of cheer and of course a bake sale. It is really nice Bingo and we make a family affair out of it. I've been going to this same bingo for the past 22 years. I just feel that it is a worthwhile cause and a fun time.

It has been a few years since I went to Bingo also. I don't usually win though and don't go no as I have no one that O know to go with. I would feel a bit silly going by myself, but one day I might get back there. It is a lot of fun.

bingo - if I win in bingo I'll scream like this
Yes I've been to Bingo Hall back when my aunt was a bingo freak she often asks us to come to the hall with her. It's fun to play but a little disappointing when you don't win.

The biggest payout I got from playing was $1000 and that was a year ago, I never saw lady luck smiled again. If I am in a mall, I spend an hour or two playing bingo. It's not very often though, only when I have absolutely nothing to do and just wanted to kill time.

No, i never went to bingo hall yet in my life. I play card on window XP but avoid to play on bingo. I like to play chess, card and billot on internet but with bets online or in bingo hall. No, i never played them and also will never play. I dislike unlawful earnings.

I have been a volunteer in a Bingo Hall for a few months until the times they requested me to be there matched up with the times for my regular work,so I had to stop.I did win a few games when I was in the hospital for awhile(our scrazy Sat nights in psych ward,but have never won a big prize in bingo(unless the banana counted).

I have never been to a bingo hall to play ...its funny the little town where i live is a small close knit faith based community and i mean everyone goes to church here ... but we have 4 bingo halls that i know of and I do think that some of the clubs here also have bingo, its gambling but these people can turn all that around and say its not since they play for money ...lol but try to get a alchol licesne here and they will run you out on a rail ...lol its all so funny the way they think about things here ...living in the olden times but they get they perks they want ...

Yes! I like and enjoy bingo more since it is cheaper than regular slot machines. $20 is an all night game already. I have won before in the Philippines with my mom but here...I have won only $200. Still not bad! I envy your $3000...wish I could win big bucks soon. Thanks!

I used to go to bingo when I was a little girl with my grandmother. I've been trying to get my mom to go for ages because it was a lot of fun, as far as I remember. I really liked it, though I never won.
