Arapaho Bingo

This place is interesting. It smells like a old car dealership. Regardless, it's a bingo hall. Be sure to get here a little early before the bingo session starts. There's a 3:45pm and a 5:00pmThere's a crazy process to this madness. First thing is that you might want to pick up the bingo schedule from the desk and also purchase a dopper (those large markers to mark your Bingo cards). A dopper is a buck each. It's by the food lady. On the other side near the bingo announcer, you'll be able to buy a paper. Each of them will let you play all of the bingo games. A paper sheet will have 6 bingo cards on each page. Each of them cost $3 Dollars on Saturday. They're normally 6 during the week. The prizes vary from $500-$700. You can also get a computer which does all of the bingo-ing for you. I forgot for how much. But that removes the fun out of it.There are lots of interesting characters here as well. Makes for fun people watching sometimes. Makes you wonder where they get all those floral colored printed shirts.Once you are good, find a table and you're good. Be sure to bring your own food and beer of choice.Overall, I think this should be a destination to bring others. Can't wait to come back again.

This place is awesome!! A hidden gem for sure. Cheap and fun and the whole family can play. They even allow kids to play. The workers are so helpful and friendly. Very clean and organized.

It's nothing fancy...and I do mean NOTHING, but it's fun to play bingo, so why not? What else can I tell you? It's cheap, but be warned that they do not serve or allow alcohol or smoking for that matter. The smack bar is nothing to write home about, but they do allow you to bring in outside food which is really cool. The only real problem I have with this place is that the air conditioning is awful and it gets hot! If you a re sensitive to heat like I am, wait for cooler temps to try this place.

When you walk in to this big open space there is no one to greet or guide you, and no signs to point you in the right direction. So you wander to the very back of the place and finally find someone who will take your money. You say "it's our first time" hoping for guidance but instead they hand you the beginner sheets with 15-20 games per sheet. Then we're told it starts at 2:50 so we sit down (after buying the ink paint pen dobbers). For the next 30minutes we have no idea what is happening, just random numbers being called very fast. Turns out he's calling horses!! I thought this was bingo. So several people in my party of 4 have ruined their sheets thinking he was calling bingo numbers!! Then another 30minutes go by while he calls other boards we were not offered or told about. We were given no selection of choices or games nor a schedule. Finally we get to our boards and we frantically try and do 20 boards at once, which was way way too much for the 8 yr old in our group. The announcer goes very fast. Then in the middle of the game it's back to horses!!! Very confusing. Anyway I think I have a bingo so the lady comes to check, turns out you need 3 bingos in one game to win!!! Ugh. Every time anyone in our group spoke at all we were violently shushed. The announcer repeatedly says we have new faces today singling us out. We were very unwelcome, as we were threatening their money. It is a lot of gambleholic addicts. It is not a place for fun, but where souls go to die. I will never ever be returning.

Noisy, stinky & rigged. Same people. Offer teds throughout session.
