My granny was in town and of course, she wanted to play BINGO. I have never gone so I thought it was a great opportunity to finally see what all the craze was about.
Parking was easy. There's a big lot in the front of the building. When you walk in, you'll maybe get confused. I don't know. It was my first time so of course, everything was confusing.
My mom bought a bundle that's $25. It came with the basic boards that we needed. Oh yeah, you'll need dabbers & of course my granny had some from home that she brought on her trip. If you don't have any, you can purchase them at the supply counter. They range from $1 to mmm I believe $3 or less. You can also buy seat cushions, dab bags, and good luck chairs. Anyway, back to the bundles. You can purchase special bundles that have more playing cards for $40.
There are different formats of the game & how each is played. They give you a sheet that is basically the agenda of it all. It explains the board color, what type of BINGO they were looking for.
Basically, you have to concertante. The person that calls out the numbers goes really fast for a beginner. I feel as if I kept coming around, I would get used to it. If you sit around the right type of people, they will help you. Some people explain to you what is actually going on and the colors.
What I really liked about this location is that the smokers are separated. A lot of people do not like being in the smoking environment. So kuddos to them. Sometimes you can smell it come through because of people coming in and out of the door.
There is also a security / police officer that works there to help keep things in order.
The food area is really neat and good. Jay and Hannah helped me when I was trying to order. They suggested the tenders and fries & made it a combo. I spent about $8.50. Not bad!
Overall, I know i'm going to come back. I just know what to prepare for now! read more
