Las Vegas locals casinos host most bingo halls in Southern Nevada

To some, it doesn’t even seem like gambling because it’s played so often in church charity events.

But several casinos in Southern Nevada, most of them that cater to Las Vegas locals, offer bingo sessions daily and games frequently draw big crowds.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported that there were between 30 and 34 licensed bingo halls in the state in 2023, 22 in Clark County. They generated $45.6 million in gross gaming revenue for casinos statewide in 2023, with $43.3 million of that occurring in Clark County, up around 3.5 percent from a year earlier.

Casinos capture roughly 20-23 percent of the total wagered in entry fees while players receive the rest.
