"I was impressed with how huge the seating area was – it was nice to have plenty of personal space during the games. Games aren’t too expensive ($10 for the morning matinee games which start at 10:30am and $15-20 for the regular games which start at 6:30pm)," the Top Ten Travel Blog reports.


"There are also options throughout the session to purchase additional games. If you aren’t playing the additional games (which run several dollars a piece) you will be bored! I hated having to wait for the additional bonus games to be played. There were so many extra games played (around 10) which took place after nearly every regular game. I had to sit unoccupied through each of the bonus games that I didn’t purchase.


"I don’t recommend arriving until 6:00 or so or you will be bored sitting around waiting for the games to start! It really was a long time to wait – I ended up walking around the casino. How long does it take to set up your stuff? I only recommend this Bingo hall if you are planning on purchasing all special games and can handle sitting through a 4 hour Bingo session!"
