BINGO BY FISH
Bingo Venues and How They Function
6/24/2024
I promised that I would discuss the Willards venue for Bingo
but first, let us discuss just what a Bingo venue is and how it affects
enjoyment of playing Bingo.
First, at least for Maryland and Delaware, and I suspect for
most of the country, there are rules for playing Bingo. For now, let’s us revue Bingo venues in the
Delmarva area and we shall move on to one I consider the best of all in my
area.
A Bingo venue is comprised, usually, of tables upon which to
sit, a desk set up for the caller, screens so that players can see the Bingo
balls, a table that has volunteers selling Bingo cards and special packets and
usually there is a place that serves food.
With a venue like this, Bingo players, often of the elder
human variety, can show up and have a meal, buy the packages and specials, set
up their Bingo-play surround on the tables and enjoy a four or five hour
evening of socialization, eating, fun with playing Bingo and perhaps win some
money.
Bingo venues have lots of nuances which we will cover at a
later date. For now know that the
seating area to play the game is often equal to the amount of subscribers to
play Bingo normally attend. Check out
the chairs for seating because in some you might want to bring a cushion.
The calling area and the screens where the players can see
the balls being called are generally placed around the room and visible to all
callers. Just pick an area to sit that
suits your line of sight.
The area where Bingo cards are purchased, along with the
special cards, can be set up in all sort of ways. How the volunteers normally behave has a
great effect on your enjoyment of the game.
And yes I will have an example of volunteers so mean you think they
might kill you.
But for the most part the volunteers are nice people who
strive to serve you well.
Finally check out the food service. Most venues have some sort of food service
and by me, a night of Bingo includes a meal and snacks. Also find out of a Bingo venue allows you to
bring your own meals. Some do not.
I will now give you an example of a Bingo venue that I
consider the best around Delaware.
I speak of the Willards Lion Club.
By chance today I was having a few medical tests. Some how the subject turned to where she
lived and soon she mentioned that she lived in Willards. I then told her that I love playing Bingo at
the Willards Lions and she said her husband loved to play Bingo. At some point she mentioned that while she
worked in Delaware, at Beebe health center of Rt.24 in fact, that Willards wasn’t
that far away.
Which is my point.
BUT…but,but,but…Willards IS in Maryland.
At some point we’ll go over the different laws in Delaware
and Maryland as regards Bingo which can be, at times very significant.
Willards is about a 44 minute drive from where I live in
Sussex county Delaware to right over the Maryland state line.
The venue is very large and while the building itself is
kind of in a very rural area, there are many attendees to these Bingo games.
Further, they have very good food served through out the
game. The volunteers are all very
gracious and anxious to serve the attendees.
The Willards Lions Club is a great Bingo venue and a nice
half hour drive far away from the summer tourists.
