I used to be a regular guest at Delta Bingo and have not lived in Sudbury for close to a decade. I am 'home' visiting so my sister brought me out to Bingo and I was disappointed by my experience.
Let me start by saying that the staff is still friendly and I have no problem with the staff. Smiles, great staff and volunteers.
HOWEVER, the place is now very dark (I get that it's so the new slots show better) . Bingo is a paper game. But the stupid Gecko electronic bingo machines win the lion's share of games. Consistently. Jackpot games should NOT have a number cap...that's why they are the jackpot. I get with the super jackpot, accumulator, etc, but the regular jackpot...come on!!!!
The games themselves have less in the actual book and there are almost an equal number of extra add on games which is frustrating. Additional, the prize payout on regular games is literally half what it used to be.
Not being able to bring my own drinks in was very inconvenient as I am on a special diet. We used to be able to bring in food and drink with no issues.
The Super Jackpot is now the same payout as the regular jackpot, so really it isn't very super. And it doesn't make sense and is frustrating to a former regular.
The caller wasn't previewing the numbers in the monitor and indeed didn't even show us one number so we don't actually know that the number she said was actually the number from the hopper.
Also, they have taken the recycling bins from the tables and although the volunteers were really great at this session, I can only imagine what it must be like on other days.
And although I underStand that this has become Delta gaming centre, I found that most of the place was dedicated to electronic gaming (slots and geckos) and not traditional paper (which should be slotted equal space in my opinion).
But like I said, the staff are really nice. read more
