Visit the World’s Best Bingo Halls on Vacation

March 20, 2023 by Edward JonesLeave a Comment

Bingo.

The word you always want to say if it’s the game you love to play. Saying the name of the game is a declaration of victory, followed by the payment of prize money.

If you’re all about the action and anticipation of bingo, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of great bingo destinations around the world that are excellent leisure travel destinations.

Here’s what you need to know about planning the trip.

Familiarize Yourself With the Game
Playing bingo requires you to pay attention and keep your bingo card accurate. Before you’re sitting in a legendary bingo hall surrounded by other players and anticipating your win, get familiar with the game. Learn the rules and study some bingo cards to get a feel for how the game works.

One of the best ways to get comfortable is to play a few games before jumping on the airplane for your vacation. Many dedicated players have moved online to enjoy the experience without having to leave their homes. You can play live bingo online to familiarize yourself with how the game works. Many online platforms deliver the energy the game is known for by streaming a video showing the host calling out the numbers.

Find the World’s Best Bingo Halls
Now that you know where to play, it’s time to begin planning your travel. This starts by figuring out which bingo halls are worth the price of the flight and hotel.

Here are some key options you’ll want to consider:

Judge’s Bingo Hall (Wales)
Tonypandy, Wales is home to Judges Bingo Hall, one of the United Kingdom’s oldest bingo halls. The history of this bingo hall dates back to 1909. It was opened as a memorial hall by the Duke of Argyll and Princess Louise, in honor of a welsh judge – hence, the name.

The hall held concerts, boxing matches, and several other live events throughout the years. It was later converted to a bingo hall, which is has been for the past several decades.

Dreamland Bingo Hall (England)
This English bingo hall also has a unique history. The venue originally opened in Margate as the Dreamland Variety Theatre in 1923. As movies took over popular media around the world, this site eventually became Dreamland Cinema.

The business closed during and re-opened shortly after World War II. It has existed in several formats, and has been a bingo hall for the past several decades.

National Bingo Stadium (Ireland)
Ireland is one of the most impressive bingo halls on the planet. Located in Dublin, National Bingo Stadium hosts 2,000 people and features a raucous environment. This stadium is owned by the Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA), and was opened in the late 1930s to host boxing events.

It also hosts concerts, conferences, and regular games of bingo. This is the oldest bingo hall in the country, making it one of many interesting activities that you can enjoy on your Ireland vacation.

Final tips
It’s a good idea to book a trip like this during a time when the weather is to your liking – that way, you can get as much from your vacation as possible!

Set your budget for the trip, find deals on flights and hotels, and make sure that you’re ready to play – and most importantly, enjoy – plenty of bingo games.
