Checking out places to play

I have been trying to check out new places to play. Of course, locally around Orange County. So far I have tried Monday night at the Elks in Santa Ana. It is a nice bingo, quiet and relaxed. Not so many pull tab games as to take all your money! The crowd is friendly and the workers nice. Good food. They give away $20's at the half-time drawing. They play early and main games but there are many main games. You get out around 10:30pm.

Then on Thursday I tried the Temple Beth Shalom. Small bingo, quiet place. There are only early and main games. The usual pull tab games are played and half time prizes are mainly a dauber and a free double action game. You get out around 10pm.

Friday I played 40 Martyrs in Santa Ana. For $50 you get three of every game played! Greatest bargain around. They have early, main, half-time, main and late games as well as bonanza and a very late quick game. Half-time prizes are decent. Staff is very nice and the food is great. Watch out as they play a lot of pull-tab games! Keep track of your funds so you can get some of each.

Saturday I play at Irvine Middle School. I still like my spot in the library. They are having a marathon bingo on Sunday, August 30. Doors open at 3pm. It is a very well run bingo with early early games, early, main and late games. Half-time drawings are for pull-tabs and cash up to $50.

I do play occassionally at the Elks Lodge in Mission Viejo on Wednesdays. Only early and main games, no give-aways other than an internet coupon for a free bonanza or early game. Nice staff and very inexpensive good food.

Now to do a Tuesday and Sunday game. Wow, it is Tuesday, right? See ya! Terry
