Grand Oaks Palace Bingo Center

I attend bingo at Grand Oaks at least one day a week. It is a well run bingo palor. They have strip games that are a lot of fun. The volunteers are very friendly and helpful. I only go to Grand Oaks to play bingo. I drive 45 miles, but it is worth it. The bingo in my town isn’t ran as well, so the drive is well worth it.

I’m in between a 3 & 4 because they have the highest paid out for a normal bingo. It’s a good size. They display all cherries real well. It’s clean & the smoking section is clearly separated. The parking is ample. The café is not too bad. They display the pricing real well. This is especially for Mesa Verde. I’ve never gone any time else. They just don’t have a website so it’s hard to find the timing & pricing prior to going. If u find the Bingo Bugle u may be able to get it all there. Also they don’t really play much flash games. My biggest sad moment was when I got shushed. It was horrible. I mean can u not play speed while someone is opening their cherries?! C’mon! It was so rude. And I will call u out because if someone new comes & dare talks around u it’s over. Big, white guy, glasses probably in his 60s because of the white hair & he will probably be wearing a red shirt since that’s Mesa’s colors. He plays with one other person probably his wife.who.rather than apologize was like ‘We are playing speeeed.” No sh*t sherlock. I may look young but this isn’t my first rodeo sister. I wish I would of bingo’d this time just to «bullwinkle» in their face. Don’t sit next to them. Just sayin’. Once I get the grove of this place I’ll probably redo this review.

I CAN NOT stand the caller for the placer Food Bank. She talks normal but can’t call the number like normal people.

I really like the late night Friday Bingo here. But the late night Saturday has a lot to be desired. On 8−8−15, the only caller was a woman who would be best described as a potty mouthed, rude and crude individual with the personality of a triscuit. The only thing missing to go with her personality was a stinky lit cigar hanging from the side of her mouth and a few loud belches here at there.
I’ve never in my life heard a caller say «That was a shitty number» or «I don’t know why people wait so long to call their number, I just don’t understand» (a player almost missed her bingo so made it a point to make her feel stupid. People were really surprised that she was so brash.
I’m quite positive I’ll never come on a late Saturday night again when I visit my family in Sacramento. I did win a cute stuffed TY plush animal and a $ 45.00 buy-​in for a Saturday «Regular» session. So I’ll keep it. But if it were for late night session I’d of given it away to anyone who likes that kind of crappy atmosphere.

I love to play here especially on Friday morning with MesaVerde The volunteers are helpful and nice great buy in specials as well no cheating that I’ve noticed as others have posted they are probably just poor losers lol

It was a great first Bingo experience.
We initially went to the Sacramento Bingo Center on Arden Way, but they were having Speed Bingo, which was not for the beginner Bingo-​er. A lady there, suggested we go to the Grand Oaks Bingo Center. I’m glad we did, because it was a great overall experience. The people at the Grand Oaks Bingo Center were super nice! Workers were helpful and friendly, as well as the people playing. Everyone was so helpful showing us how to play each Bingo game. They provided us with bingo daubers, which I heard at most places, you will need to buy through the vending machines. We already brought our own daubers, so those weren’t needed. Though it was nice of them to provide those for us.
I didn’t walk out with any wins, but my sister won $ 125 and my brother in-​law won $ 125 as well (with $ 25 buy-​ins). It was so much fun, we’re already looking into going again real soon!

I’m pretty sure they cheat for certain people. Volunteers and their families and friends all have twice as many cards as everyone else. Most of them win 2 or 3 times per session if not more. I can go 50 sessions in a row without winning but they win every time. It’s ridiculous and a total scam. Workers shouldn’t be able to play and definitely shouldn’t get special benefits

Do NOT go on sat morning. Volunteers are terrible. I watched one tell a lady «I know nothing, just sell pull tabs» today while playing I got a BINGO. My machine froze and when they returned game it all of sudden showed needing 2 numbers. I said no that is not the case plz resend the machine. they said they did and u don’t have a bingo. I said wait no I do we need a manager. She advised she was. I am so done, I will never play for the Oakmont Saturday charity.

I’ve noticed cheating going on here as well… you see the ball on the screen in a split second its gone and I am not the only player that sees it… there has to be somewhere that you can register a complaint… it seems that the same people win… its a shame that some greedy people have to make it bad for others… we all work hard for our money… integrity is something some people lack… pathetic!!!

I absolutely LOVE the Euro Café at the Grand Oaks Bingo Palace. Their food is fresh and delicious! The staff is lovely and they take such good care of their customers. It is great fun to play Bingo or to volunteer at Grand Oaks — especially when there are such great things to eat from the Euro Café!
I highly recommend their BLT, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Western Burger (great BBQ sauce), French Fries and the Club Salad is out of this world. Need a quick snack to keep you going? They make a really nice hot pretzel (with choice of salt or cinnamon sugar). The coffee is always flowing and tastes great.
Thanks to the Euro Café for keeping the Bingo players and volunteers well taken care of!

Have gone many times over the years and twice recently.
Nothing much has changed… a fun time for not too much $$.
6:00 pm start time on Friday and Saturday nights. Very different games and buy-​ins for the two nights. More people were there on the Friday night and the jackpots were $ 300 compared with the quiieter Saturday night jackpots for $ 250. We prefered the Saturday night crowd though.
I give them 1.5 less stars due to the fact that they do not have a website and do not have an answering machine with any information on times of games. I really don’t understand why they would do that and keep prospective customers from bringing in more $$. Their loss for sure.
Half star off for the completely personalityless employees that work the snack bar. Really? I leave a tip and you still don’t even grunt at me? I won’t do it next time, thats for sure.

I’ve been going here for at least the last 8 – 10 years but something I saw on Sat night will prevent me from going back again. Picture this: last game of the night, texas blackout, even numbers wild. Caller puts B-​11 in the window and in a flash its gone. He keeps pulling till he gets another odd number not realizing (probably sleepy) and never calling B-​11. I think I’m hallucinating for a second and say out loud, «Didn’t I see B-​11?» Then 2 other players say, Yeah I thought I saw it too. We then try to bring it to his attention and guess what he does? He just smirks and keeps calling numbers. Meanwhile, the lady behind me says, «I only need B-​11 to win». I glance at her machine and sure enough, B-​11 is blinking. I say to the caller, «she only needs B-​11 to win…“He still smirks, calls numbers, someone else accross the hall wins. The lady who should’ve won approaches the caller stand and asks him if he saw B-​ll. He still doesn’t say a word but magically, B-​11 is in the hopper and she sees it and she walks away satisfied. He thinks he fooled us but he was the fool for not admitting his mistake and being EXTRA shady… I’m so disappointed in Grand Oaks Bingo… Never again.
Go somewhere else… oh, did I mention that the people selling flash act like they are doing YOU a favor? Whatever.

i heart bingo!!!
one of the few bingo centers in the greater sacto area in a slowly fading institution. they play at the least 20 games– not including the mini fill in games. a fantabulistic place to see cliché bingo people. it always reminds me of that one Roseanne episode where she gets addicted to bingo etc… prepare yourself for beehives, good luck charms, and really tacky red lips all over.
*one of the more expensive halls but still makes for a fun, casual night*
