Great atmosphere...great caller..people friendly..luv it. Definitely going back..Also food is good also.

Terrible! Have been several times hoping it would be better. 25.00 buy in but they hold you hostage with game after game of flash or this or that. Last week the caller was extremely rude. She was incorrect on more than one thing, got rude and said "we can be here until midnight for all I care" Also no matter how early you get there all the tables in the front half are reserved. (They said they pick up the reservation signs if they aren't there by 6. Well who wants to worry about getting up and moving)If you're not in the "in" crowd you are forced to sit in the back side where you cannot sit across from each other and at least one of the display boards has numbers out. We have given them several chances in the last 18 months. We'll take our girls nights elsewhere. read more

went in on a Wednesday for my husband's birthday, the buy-in for him was a very good deal. However, I felt like it could have been better, such as being operated a little better, as well as having bigger tables, not enough space for all your packs of papers to play, also the food was so expensive read more

This place is alright the bingo place place is sorta hard to find if you're not familiar with the area the caller calls the number way too fast and they don't take the time to explain how the games work like they expect you to know it especially if it's your first time there it's like catch up or too bad read more

fun fun fun and always a good time .. love this place to be able to play at ease and not be overwhelmed or crowded

I used to come every Tuesday and Thursday. It was my first bingo experience and I loved it! Unfortunately, feeling like it's the same people winning the majority of the time or having a 'Social Media' contest that seems a little biased, have pushed me away. I still want to go every once in a while, but definitely not like before. The volunteers are great, but a lot of the regular players are rude and some are just plain mean. Apparently the regulars have "their seats" even though you get there early and there are no "reserved" signs, you've taken their spot and some can get pretty nasty about it. Overall, it's still an okay place to go, hopefully you sit near helpful players if it's your first time. read more

I like this spot. Even though I have yet to win here, been here over 10x, it is always fun. They have tons of specials and raffles. During the holidays they have fun costume contests. The bingo caller Steve makes it fun!! They are quick to pass out the specials, strips or flashes. The winnings are big, lots of 1199, 750. Its a big area with tons of tv's. Huge parking lot. Friendly service and people. Definitely people who love their job. I recommend this spot to anyone looking to play bingo. read more

Parking is easy and plentiful. You can exit the side door after the session for faster access to the parking lot. There are two sections here and I like to sit in the area where the caller is not at. However, it gets a little noisy and the guy who works in snack bar makes a lot of noise with his music on his phone or whatever electronic games he plays and it's very annoying. A lot of times they sell flash games but you don't get to buy any because they sell them all on the other side. And when you do buy them, they put them on TOP of your paper as you are playing. And if that's not annoying enough, they are super loud & yell out sexual innuendos that they think is funny but it gets old and almost vulgar. "BIG BALLS FOR SALE - I HAVE BIG BALLS" etc, etc...... There is only one good bingo board to look at to check your numbers. Aside from that, there are many, many t.v. monitors that you can check your numbers on, however, it is very VERY hard to see the numbers because they are very small. You can only see the current number big and bold but not the others that have been called. I complained to one of the workers about it because a lot of people have the same problem but he just told me to go tell someone else. Gee thanks, let me go tell someone else so they can tell me go tell someone else. I've been there 3 times now and always the same caller throughout the game. I don't like that. There should be two of them as it gets monotonous, especially when the same people win over and over. Also count what you buy because the lady in the window that sells the strips shorted me one and when I told her she said I had to be careful because I probably dropped it. She didn't offer to replace it and I'm quite positive I didn't drop one! read more

This is my back up bingo place, but I am really loving all the clear screens and friend staff read more

Updated review: Awesome atmosphere. Great prices and payouts! TONS of monitors so you never miss a number. Cheap food that tastes amazing. Free coffee. Overall a great place to check out and all proceeds go towards the youth programs of the fair :) Bad side: The caller 90% of the time seems as if he knows there is a winner. You can sense it in his voice. (Not cool, It's getting to the point where it is not fun sometimes because of it) That being said I used to go weekly. Now I go once a month if that. read more

I love going to play BINGO here on Tuesdays and Thursdays! All the volunteers are wonderful and the caller is just delightful! Only complain would be adding more selections to the snack bar; maybe a pretzel, popcorn, fruit, French Fries. But If you love playing bingo I suggest trying this place, Lots of Flash and Strips read more

Excellent facility, good callers, and cheap food at a good quality. Definitely a bingo hall to check out. The sellers know what they're doing and the TVs make no mistake on what's coming up. read more

If I could give ZERO then I definitely would!!!! This is NOT an honest place to play bingo and you will be ripped off! Don't waste your time or money here! I witnessed this first hand personally and seeing it happen to another player! These people are absolutely ridiculous! read more

Great Place to play bingo alot of screens and parking is great. Food is delicious one week they had carne asada tacos that were the best. my only complaint is you might want to add a few more sellers, they play about 16 games which is good i have been here since opening night and i have won 2 times. Staff is friendly and helpful, ask for Lupe or Armando they helped me my first night here. read more

I have only been one time but loved it! There was plenty of parking and the employees were so nice. They noticed that I was new and welcomed me and thanked me for coming. Even though I didn't win, I had a great time! Will definitely come back! read more

After being a bingo player for a bit longer I think you realize this place is not as fantastic as other places. Yes..I definetely experienced worse. I came on the last Thursday before their summer break. They had moved their format where to buy early birds. So when I went to the window the lady was like where's your ticket? I tried to explain to her that I haven't been in awhile. I mean hello..early birds come before regulars..right. She was like you have to get your ticket & paper packs at the regular window first. The line is always long. I'm like ok I will get back in line for 30 minutes. Early birds start at 6:30. Somehow at 5PM you have no seats unless it's in the back. And some of the people who sit in the back are rude. They talk smack about everyone there. It's distracting. And if you don't call your bingo loud sitting back there the security will just stare at you & not help you. Seats are comfy still but no spacing for the flash sellers to get to you. So when you call them they get to the closest person first. I think that's all the update I have. read more

I am officially give my review to this bingo hall to 5 stars. A lot of positive changes has being made since my reviews of fairground bingo on opening night. They are well into their second year. A. They added more games. B. They change some of the games that are time consuming. The nightly drawing is awesome. C. Now they even of a super prize each sessions. ( flatscreen,ps4, ipad.. Ect) D. The introduction to hot balls is very exciting. E. They even have their very own fairground strips! In addition to the 500/1000 payout depends on how many strip are sold.. The winner of this special strips gets to play bingo free for a month! And play as many packs as they can handle. F. The best part about this hall is..the environment.. Its like a party environment when am here. The players seem like if they dont win.. Its ok to cheered on fellow bingo goer. Its not all business like.. Like the other bigger halls. The staff is second to non..lead by one of the coolest person.. Thr heart and soul I believe if the hall itself..Lupe! They currently only played Tues for the summer..but in the falls they played Tues/thurs. If you are within shouting distant of the hall.. I highly recommend fairgrounds bingo.. One of the best in the bay area. read more
