The concept of a bingo hall being open 24 hours a day is a completely alien one to most people, unless of course they live in places such as Nevada, where such venues are often to be found.
However, one has to ask the question whether there are enough bingo players to make such venues finically viable, for there cannot be that many people who are going to want to play bingo at 3am in the morning, for example.
The Arizona Charlie’s Casino over on Boulder Highway does have a 24 hour bingo hall, and one of the benefits of playing there is that players are allowed to get a couple of drinks, either soft drinks or alcohol from the bingo halls bar before the bingo session starts and can also avail themselves of a drink during the session from the cocktail waitress, too.
In fact, pastries are often also on offer too, and with the ticket prices starting at just $4 for the entire session, if a player does get three drinks and a snack there cannot be much money left over to fund the cash prizes that are given away during the session.
It is therefore fair to say that during the early hours of the morning such venues do run at a loss, but that is often made up during the day time when the bingo hall does get packed full of avid bingo players.
Those players tend to be locals who are ever eager to take their chances playing bingo and, of course, making the most of the drinks and snacks that are available.
