Send a text It was time for South Point's incredible $2 Million Dollar Extravaganza. This event lives up to its name in every way. The energy was huge, the bingo was nonstop and I got to celebrate my birthday early, surrounded by players dressed up in hilarious Halloween costumes.

Send a text Years ago, one of the aspects of several episodes was the inclusion of some bingo lingo. With new people starting to play bingo everyday, this seems to be good time to revisit some of that language. From classic calls to local phrases, let's break down some of terms you'll hear when the numbers start rolling.
Send a text After being deeply engrossed in the bingo community for several years, something seem to be changing. In particular, the people that could be depended upon to be present, be it in bingo halls or on TikTok. Lately, there seems to a bit of an exodus for both. So that brings up the question, "is there such a thing as bingo burnout, or does something else account for these absences?"

Send a text Everywhere you turn these days, people are talking about AI (artificial intelligence) and how it's changing the world. Jumping on the bandwagon, I asked ChatGPT to put together some interesting and fun facts about bingo. Find out what it came up with in this episode.
Send a text One of the best things about bingo is the people you meet. Whether it's at your local bingo hall, a bingo tournament or from watching them on your favorite live streaming channel. Included in that mix is KingTupu. Proud to be a strong Pacific Islander representative, we get to learn more about his bingo journey in this episode.

Send a text Running a bingo hall is no small task. Week after week, while bingo players are praying they get to yell bingo, there's a manager making sure everything runs smoothly. At Bell-Jeff Bingo in Burbank, California that person is Ruben Alvara. In a few weeks he and his team will celebrate the location's anniversary.

Send a text One of the first places I played bingo when I moved to California, was the Morongo Hotel and Casino out at Cabazon. As much as I enjoyed it, I hadn't been there in awhile since there are so many other places closer to me where I can play. Nonetheless, It was nice to revisit it recently. And for better or worse, the lack of pulltabs definitely makes a difference.
Send a text Is it just me or has the cost of playing bingo on your average cruise ship (as opposed to Bingo Cruises), gotten out of control? Especially since the amount of actual games being played is minimal. That's one of things on my mind. The other is, where are all the bingo players I typically see going? Are they burning out?
Send a text Over the years, I've attended several bingo events. It quickly becomes clear that you have to go to them with the mindset that it's about the experience and not about winning. I'd gone to Southpoint's Extravaganza roughly six times before I finally won, splitting $25K. Which just goes to prove, if you hang in there, your day will come. That was the case for my third trip to Texas for the 2025 Bingo Palooza.
