Where can I play bingo in Dundalk, Maryland?

Bingo is played in venues called bingo halls. A bingo hall is really just anywhere that holds a bingo game!

How does a game of bingo work?

Bingo is a popular game all over the world, and although it looks fast, it is surprisingly easy to learn. Whether you're a bingo beginner, or would just like to brush up your skills, here's an easy guide on what to expect from a typical bingo game! Arriving early is always best policy for a game of bingo. There are a few things to do before the game starts! You'll need to arrive at the venue, and possibly pay an entry fee. Then you'll need to get your bingo cards, and find a seat. Your bingo cards will each have a 5x5 grid with a blank center square. The other squares will each have numbers between 1 and 75. Each card is different from the others. As the game begins, the winning pattern will be announced. This tells the players which boxes on their card they need to mark in order to win the game. Then the caller will start drawing and announcing numbers one by one. Players mark the numbers called on their cards if they are present. The first player to mark every box for the winning pattern must shout BINGO to win!
