Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit — or your hundredth.
Can I use a credit or debit card?
Bingo is cash only. However, we do have an ATM on-site inside the building for your convenience.
How much does it cost to play?
Noon Bingo and Pioneer Bingo have different pricing. Visit the Noon Bingo or Pioneer Bingo pages for full pricing details on paper sets, computer packs, and session options.
What time does each hall open?
Noon Bingo: doors open at 11:05 AM Mon–Sat and 12:05 PM Sunday; sales start at 11:30 AM. Sessions run Mon–Sat at 12 PM & 1:45 PM, and Sunday at 1 PM & 2:45 PM. Pioneer Bingo: doors open at 6:05 PM, sales start at 6:30 PM. Sessions run daily at 7 PM & 8:30 PM, with a third Late Night session at 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Can I join in the middle of a session?
Yes! You can show up mid-session and buy cards for each individual game separately. Most cards are $1 each or two sheets for $1. You can also leave whenever you like — you are not locked in for the full session.
Do I have to pay Taxes on what I win?
In the state of Texas the law requires us to take 5% of all winnings. This is a state law.
Can I bring my kids?
Unfortunately no. Due to the city of Arlington's smoking ordinance, you must be at least 18 years of age or older to enter the building.
Can you smoke inside?
Yes — bingo halls are currently exempt from the non-smoking ordinance in Arlington, TX. We have both a smoking section and a glassed-in non-smoking section.
Is there food available?
Yes! We have a full snack bar with delicious food, snacks, and drinks. You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks (including alcohol if you are 21 or older).
What are Pull Tabs?
Pull Tabs (also called event games) are mini bingo games that cost $1 each. The caller pulls balls from a machine and players mark their specific Pull Tab card. Prize amounts range from around $175 up to several hundred dollars per game — we offer dozens of different Pull Tab games.
Can I use a pen to mark my numbers?
No — you must use a regulation bingo dauber. You can purchase one at either hall, or bring one from another bingo hall or online retailer.
Do I need a membership or reservation?
No reservation or membership is needed. Just walk in, buy your cards, and play!
Are there birthday specials?
Pioneer Bingo has a great birthday special — bring your ID on your birthday and play for just 1¢! You'll receive a Combo set (9 full + 9 half cards) plus a free dauber.
