Slammers Bingo

Absolutely terrible place. First of all the security guards do their best at making you feel absolutely uncomfortable and are pushy plus disrespectful. It’s great that they are given so much «power» to be rude and disrespectful. It’s sad old folks have to deal with such ignorant disrespect.
On to the actual bingo. Lots of fun but don’t expect to keep your winnings or for actual bingo rules to apply. We had someone in our party win bingo yet he had to split it with three other people who also had bingo after the speaker kept the balls rolling after our friend yelled bingo. Instead of using logic and common sense and checking the numbers on our friend’s game they decided to single handedly take money from him and unfairly spread it across four wins. Hate to say it but basic logic could have solved that one, but I forgot the security guard was out to get us because we were different. I thought well maybe this was just a strange night, but at the end the whole crowd came up to us and shared stories of having to split their winnings because basic rules weren’t followed. We were simply saying our goodbyes and the «security» guard decided it would be a perfect time to goon.
He basically told us to get out we were quietly and calmly leaving. He then said «if you don’t like it you’re welcome to not come back» well sir I never will step foot in there again. I’ll be sure to tell everyone of your disrespectful sham of an operation. It’s truly sad as the organizations who are featured on a daily basis will not be receiving any of my money and hopefully none of the money from anyone I know. As we left the manager’s wife even had to put her two cents in. She assured us that when we write to the commission she’s the one who gets to respond. Well I’m glad a bingo place somehow made me feel uncomfortable and bullied me out the door. Bravo! I was a first timer, my group was completely respectful during the whole ordeal. I will never come back and I hope everyone who reads this and everyone I know finds a bingo hall that’s fun and not a complete circus of disrespect. Again you’ll never see me again. On to write the commission and the better business bureau and whoever else I dream of.

Okay, this place is not AMAZING. But think about it, it’s a BINGO hall. You’re just not going to get a lot of fancy tables or amazing décor in a BINGO hall. I’ve gone to BINGO in Vegas, local casinos, etc, and this is my favorite place to BINGO. WHY? I mean, the games are fun, the people who play BINGO there are friendly, and they recognize you when you go in. There’s a real family atmosphere going on.
The food? It sucks. I mean, it really sucks. But again, this is a BINGO hall. Eat before you come, that’s what I do. If you don’t, you’re going to be stuck with normal BINGO hall crap: nachos, bacon sandwiches, etc. Drinks are cheap (no liquor is allowed in here but they have soda, iced tea, etc) and they give you discounts on your refills. The old lady who works behind the counter at the snack counter is kind of bad at math and lazy in general, but the other people are all great and at the very least do their jobs properly.
It’s really cheap to go to a BINGO game here. It only costs $ 10 plus $ 1 per additional card pack. My husband and me go here whenever the BINGO mood takes us (and we are big BINGO fans.) I have been to other BINGO halls, but they all had lower payouts or crummier facilities. All in all, not a bad local joint, but definitely not worth five stars either.
Lastly: yes, children are allowed, but leave those poor babies at home. They must be silent for the games or they will just get ejected. The kids always look so sad, this really is not a good place for them.

My first 2 star rated business… hoped this time wouldn’t come, but it has. There’s not much to expect from a bingo place, however one thing I expected was descent air conditioning in 98° weather and adults to call out the ball numbers. The security guy makes you feel safe and nervous at the same time with his gun on his hip and 2 spare magazines. Overall it was the worst bingo place I went to but with air conditioning it may not have been as unpleasant. I still had fun there.
