Bingo every Wednesday
Forget the dingy, smoky, cavernous Bingo halls of yesteryear and head for the Shane Center (6500 Indian Creek Drive) in Miami Beach on any Wednesday night for a different kind of Bingo experience. This locale overlooks the Indian Creek Waterway and offers players state-of-the-art equipment, (who knew such a thing existed?) including top-of-the-line Bingo King blowers, flashboards, wireless flat-screen TV monitors and large hi-definition projection screens. In addition, there are large jackpots, a guaranteed prize board, free parking in an adjoining lot, and complimentary refreshments. Fortunately, smoking is allowed only on the terraces surrounding the building (but don’t do it, just don’t!).
The admission fee is $25 per person for traditional paper Bingo (less than $2 per game for 14 games) and $35 for a wireless electronic hand set that almost guarantees you will never miss a call. Players must be 18 years old or older to play. Funds earned from Bingo contribute to scholarships for underprivileged youngsters at the Shane Center. Doors open at 6 p.m. and games start at 7.
