Bingo made a successful comeback at Potawatomi Casino this week.

The bingo hall reopened on Monday for the first time in two years, with games throughout the week.

Bingo director, Frank Fischer, said each session has averaged about 400 players.

Friday’s matinee was one of the largest, with nearly 600 players.

“They missed the comradery of the actual bingo session. We’re more social than actual gaming, so a lot of friends are being seen for the first time in probably two years,” Fischer said.

Lines were long Friday afternoon, with hundreds of people hoping to have their turn at the ultimate game of chance.
