10 Best Bingo Halls to Visit in Colorado
I am travelling to Colorado to visit one of my friend. Colorado is a state in the Western United States. It is bordered by Wyoming to the north, Nebraska to the northeast, Kansas to the east, Oklahoma to the southeast, New Mexico to the south, Utah to the west, and touches Arizona to the southwest at the Four Corners so lots of places to see in and around.
I love visiting forests and mountains, rivers and deserts and this state is full with it. With celebrating Colorado Day on 1st August (as this state was added to the union on this day) I and my friend both have made plans to do many things and take part in activities and one of in the list is playing Bingo.
Yes Bingo. Where I go I visit casinos or play games just for fun and to know the culture of that state and make friends with people around.
Bingo Halls to Visit in Colorado
For those who don’t know, there are 256 licensed Bingo rooms in US and in Colorado Bingo there are over 60 Bingo rooms. Bingo in Colorado was started by a Pastor Charles H. Hagus to raise funds for Church and the School. Also the first film with Bingo in the title, The Bully of Bingo Gulch [1911], was based in Colorado.
Also in this state 10% of women play Bingo as against 5% of men and 30% of all bingo players are under 35 years of age.
On an average Bingo game lasts 3 to 6 minutes and to claim win the verification is processed in 30 seconds.
I will not be visiting all the 60 Bingo halls in Colorado but I have picked up few of the best ones. The bingo game here costs about six bucks.
Note that most local bingo halls support a charity of some sort and as a matter of fact, in most areas, casino’s aside, this is required by state law. In fact, charging for bingo isn’t even legal in the state of Utah; however some savvy bingo diner owners have found a way around this law, by charging for dinner, and offering bingo for free.
Also remember that in US bingo is played with 75 balls. Paper packets are generally still available at any bingo hall for a few bucks, but the new trend is definitely computer bingo, this is played at the bingo hall, much the same way that the older paper packets were, however instead of using colored ink to daub your bingo cards, bingo players enter each number as it is called into the machine and in turn it daubs their bingo cards for them.
In addition to prizes, that range anywhere from pot holders, to personal computers, and on up to cars and vacations in some of the bigger casinos, bingo players play to win cash!
The average regular game pays between $100 and $500 where blackouts and progressive jackpot blackouts can reach into the tens of thousands.
All in all the odds aren’t great, but as for a great evening out, and a chance to win a great return on your investment, it’s an exciting and great game. Here are the 10 best bingo halls to visit in Colorado.

How to play Bingo?
Generally Bingo is played with paper cards or electronic Bingo tablets. Bingo rules and payouts and play variations vary from place to place. Bingo brochures detailing particular games, rules and payouts are usually available at each respective location.
Basically, players buy cards with numbers on them in a 5 x 5 grid corresponding to the five letters in the word B-I-N-G-O. Numbers such as B-2 or 0-68 are then drawn at random (out of a possible 75 in American Bingo, and 90 in British and Australian Bingo) until one player completes a ‘Bingo’ pattern, such as a line with five numbers in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row on one of their cards and wins the prize. There are many possible patterns to play for.
A bingo Card contains 24 numbered spaces and one free space (blank), with which you play BINGO. The numbers are assigned at random on each card and are arranged in five columns of five numbers each by five rows (5 x 5 = 25 in total including the blank square).
In Bingo ticket the numbers in the B column are between 1 and 15, in the I column between 16 and 30, in the N column (containing four numbers and the free space) between 31 and 45, in the G column between 46 and 60, and in the O column between 61 and 75.
Players have thousands of unique (unduplicated) cards to choose from. Some manufacturers print unduplicated series of 6,000 cards. There are also series of 9,000 cards available. Hard cards and Flimsy cards have a series number printed on them like card number 1252 will always have the same numbers in the same spaces. When you win, you stand up and shout “BINGO!”
