Will not play at Foothill Square again. It is not safe players actually assault you and they don't do anything about it. Players are rude, no courtesy at all. Bathrooms are dirty, they do not even provide paper towels. It takes them forever to give your payouts. One of their security guards, Orlando is an asshole. Not spending my money there anymore. read more

My first time visiting Foothill Square Bingo was for a friends birthday and they come here often. They came early to claim tables for the group. On a Friday it was a $60 but in for multiple games and comes with the cards and the screens, if you come late it's still $60 and you have the opportunity to win as much as $2K-$5k. If you've never played before you can easily get the hang of it. Don't forget to bring a stamper, they also have multiple screens to listen and view from. The price for the food is really good and the quality is good too! We got chicken wings and fries and we were not disappointed, it does take some time for it to be made. You throw away your cards when the game is finished in trash bags. A whole set on a Friday can go from 6-10pm which includes side games. Was a cool way to spend a Friday night. Located in a shopping plaza, if you can't find parking nearby, you can park in the bigger plaza. read more

Too many shady characters and expensive to play when you include all the side hustles. The pros take it all too seriously, it really was no fun...felt like work and you are on high alert trying to make it to your car without being mugged. read more

Bingo is not my favorite thing to do but this is a fun place to come to when with friends who are really passionate about the game. Bring your friends, bring some food and bring a few bucks for the machines and pull tabs. If you think Bingo is boring its probably because your not buying in enough. Here there are so many side games and paper games beyond the computer games for $15 that it could keep anybody entertained. The snack bar isn't all that expensive - its just that the food isn't all that. Probably best to bring a little something with you as this does take hours of time. I probably prefer this more than going to the movies but less than going to a full blown casino like Cache Creek or similar. If you are with a big group its best to come a little early to get a big table where you all can sit together. I think being with friends here is a big big part of the fun. Jackpots are paid by different people if its over $1199 so that there aren't any tax problems. Since tax day is coming up that is on my mind. Indian casinos don't withhold but in Nevada I think they withhold 25%. There was some remodeling to the outside of foothill square. It looks great. There is a security guard sitting in the middle of the parking lot. Chairs and floors and tables inside don't look all that great. A bit frumpy and worn and could use some scrubbing power. read more

Bingo is amazing.Great people get to know the callers.People on the floor pool tabs.Yeah I want a couple times it's a great place to be..

The bingo hall is awesome but let's speak about the food. I just purchased a hot link and coke paid $11.

This the second and LAST time I will EVER get anything from them! I miss Tammy at least you got lettuce, tomatoes mayonnaise mustard on your bread!

Foothill Square Bingo - It's Been A While.. Let's Go !!!! - Bingo Halls Near Me - Oakland, California

Bad experience whether newbie or not each game should be explained how to play(other bingo halls does) Got the nerve of accusing or not giving a tip when won(we are generous). Perhaps people are embezzaling in this hall "I'm just here say" that is why we were a targeted. Then got the audacity and not acknowledge or not selling us pulltabs,strips,specials just past our table when in the beginning wanted to sale their pulltabs, strips, & specials. We are not new to bingo just new to this place we always spend alot & always prepared(we are regulars to certain bingo halls & they know we are high rollers so if we're the early, early birds their pulltabs etc sales out not even a blink of an eye can relate. So now I can tell the many people how our experience really went & it will spread like wildfire. I KAHUNA this BINGO Hall under the goddess PELE & the many ancestors that can help me & Ke Akua read more

For $15 you get a machine that holds 3 bingo sheets and 3 paper sheets; each sheet hold 6 bingo cards. Jackpot is $500 for all 10 games! Bonus cards are $3 each, jackpot the same. $0.50 cents for stampers. That's the basics of this place. Now here's the reality of it. When I first got there I was gun Ho about stamping and having the machine work its magic. The bubble was busted after the first minute of the first game. YOU HAVE TO ENTER ALL NUMBERS IN YOUR MACHINE ITS NOT AUTOMATIC AS WELL AS STAMP YOUR CARDS! Image now, stamping 12 bingo cards and entering numbers simultaneously!! Crazy!! On top, the caller is SUPER FAST, meaning numbers get thrown at you every 2 seconds. So, you are a beginner stick with the machine and 1 bingo card. Side games are plentiful here, from Money Train, All the marbles, Coyote Ugly, Popeye, and Golden State each playing $500-$1000 They have a pretty extensive food bar and FREE coffee for those that need the caffeine. Bring a seat cushion because with all the side games and bonus games you will be there for 3.5 hours. Make friends quick because you might need that extra help if you are Hell bent in playing all 3 cards and the machine. The Bingo Hall is spacious and you are pretty much find a sit even if you are like me and come in 10 minutes before the start of the game. There's plently of parking space outside, as this place is located on a private lot shared with other stores in the area. It can get hecktic when leaving as everyone rushes out at the same time, it feels like you were leaving a ball park. I didn't win this time, but this hall is open 7 days a week. So if you are a bingo manic and don't mind spending 3.5 hours there. This is your place. Small amount of money invested with a potential of a large pay out. read more

Foothill Square Bingo - Bingo Halls Near Me - Oakland, California

Best Bargain in Town! Not going to find many places that offer 25 chances to win $500 for $15..... My Grandmother has been playing here since 79' and is treated like family by everyone involved, from management, runners, callers, snack bar, security and fellow players! I might say sometimes she is a bit overwhelmed at the speed they call as they forget she's 103 so they could slow down a tad when calling on strips or specials but otherwise everything runs pretty smoothly! Also the layout is pretty player friendly as there's not a bad seat to be had! Thanks to all involved! 'BINGO", Blow that Whistle Nana! read more

fun cheap place to play for just $15 buy in. side games pull tabs are $1 to $2 and strip games with guarantee numbers are $5 a piece. But you can still win with nothing but the $15 you came with to buy a machine with over 20 games inside the machine not to mention you can also take your chances and play on paper for free as well. read more

I have never played bingo before, until last Sunday was my very first time at an actual bingo hall. $15 buy in which is a great price to play all rounds. Small strip games with $500-$1000 payouts in between rounds. There's machines you can play some of the games on, also paper games. Also there's a snack bar with many different options to choose from. Won on my first time. Yay! Glad I went to foothill for my first time before visiting other bingo halls . Sunday is the day to go ! The venue probably needs a little update, but other than that awesome place to go have fun and win some money!!! read more

Great place to place to play... Won $500 on one game...split $600 in the other game... Not bad for a $15 buy-in... I will be coming back soon! read more

So the food area I give 5 stars and the bingo hall get's no loooveee! read more

Just left here because of the rude security guards that they have hired there. Tonight there were to African american guards and it seemed to be a full house. So mind you, when people come in and the tables look filled up customers will ask security to help them find a seat. So this was the first time my girlfriend and I had to do exactly that. When we walked up to both guards, who were doing absolutely nothing except sitting by the door, talking and eating sunflower seeds, neither one of them wanted to get up and do their jobs. So we continued to stand there until someone got up. The younger guard decided he would pause from spitting out his seeds and "help". So as we walked around we passed by multiple tables that are supposed to fit 6 people but there were only 4 and the players had their bags and papers spread across them. He literally acted as though he didn't see any seats for us. My girlfriend asked him a question and he snapped at her. We decided to leave and get our money back. Needless to say we WILL NOT be returning to Foothill Square Bingo! Which is a shame because that was the first bingo hall that we both had ever played at. The staff is awesome. But those two guards NEED TO GO!! read more

4 of us Went to foothill bingo afternoon session, they had 3 machines left, we purchased all three,I will play the papers packs and strips etc. Bingo police starts to follow us around while we were looking for a seat. I asked, why are you following us? His reply," I see you have 3 machines and there's 4 of you one of you gone have to leave, everybody has to have a machine to stay and play" we all looked at one another and said,"lets all go"so we turned around and walked out the door....and hit the Bay Bridge. read more

Jason-I read your review and I just wanted to give you my opinion as to Good/lucky bingo halls, so here it goes. In the East Bay, if you like Foothill also known as Keds. My bet is you will love Gilman Bingo in. It's a way better deal for your money; trust me I shopped and compared and the winner is Gilman! They have the most $1000 jackpots and on some of there special days (marathons) the jackpots are more than a $1000. Don't get me wrong though, you will still find me at Keds. It all just depends on which place feels lucky to me on that day. In the South Bay-You will find me at Inner City Bingo on Villa Street in Mt. View, with the best dam food I've ever tasted in a bingo hall! It's definitely not the same deal as the East Bay as far as the price otherwise know as "the buy-in" but in comparison to the other halls in the South Bay this one is the best deal for your money. BINGO! read more

this is the most reasonable place ever to play bingo. they also have a snack bar for burgers/sandwiches, fried shrimp, chinese food, and many other menu items. AWESOME! read more

$35 dollars for the laptop and 10 $1000 games. The scrathchers are fun especially knowing that the chance of hitting one is pretty good.

Well run bingo hall. We got there an hour and a half early on a Friday and still had trouble finding a seat for 3. Luckily, we were able to make friends with some regulars and not only had good spots but help along the way. I could do with less mini games in between but it was a fun night nonetheless. read more

I played bing there a couple of times and never won but I did notice that there are a LOT of mulitple winners there. Durant Square is much better - see my review for that one! read more

I love this bingo. Speed is perfect. No time to mess around . LOVE the staff and players. You get a few crazies, and beyond ratchets but all in all everyone is really cool. Mike you're awesome! read more

Foothill use to be a good bingo hall. The problem with foothill is that there are too many people! When you have multiple people you have multiple numbers which makes multiple WINNERS......Do the math!!! =(( read more

My last time playing here at Keds bingo in Foothill Square Oakland, California, was about 2 years back. I loved it so much. It was affordable. I mean if you had $20 and it was your lucky day you would come home with over $200. No lie. Well I've experienced it several times. I love to play bingo. on a good day I'll go with $200 plus some to play with. Sometimes I win and of course sometimes I lose. But then I have bad days when I only have about $20 and some change to play. That's the great thing about Keds Bingo In Foothil, Oakland, you can play with only $15. Just the games which at the time we're about 12 games all $500 wins. I always come out a wimner. Just takes one good card. Win that 500 then I play all the games. Win win win. I love Keds bingo. I love it's cause too. I love that it gives to the kids education. I love all the workers. Kyle, Jeff, Chris and Lil Chris and so many more names I can't think of right now. I miss all of it. I got some money to spend. I hate Blue Devils bingo. With a passion I hate it. But I heard that Foothil doesn't play anymore. WHY!?!?!?!?!?. Could someone who has accurate knowledge of this bingo please put up legitimate days and times they play and even a legitimate website I can go to. I'm ready to play some bingo. read more

I went for the first time during the week of my birthday in early December because my mom kept telling me about how its free to play during your birthday week and I'm not one to turn down free anything. I went with some hesitation because I kept imagining a musty room full of old people playing a boring game. To my surprise it turned out to be nothing like that. Immediately I noticed the amount of younger folks that worked there and that were playing as well. Really this has to be like the blue collar united nations or something, I mean there were folks from all ages and ethnicity's and everyone I talked to was super friendly. Another great surprise was the food, never in my life would I have expected the chicken wings at a bingo hall to be some of the best wings I ever had. I've been back to this spot several times now and have even won a few games. Good folks, bomb chicken wings and several $1000 jackpots, how could I not love this place? Just like Chris from the bingo hall says "We have the best prices and biggest jackpots in town, we ask that you please shop and compare!!!" He's talking to you Durant Square.... read more

i don't like the way they treat the other players, especially the African-American who calls the Bingo, he's ignoring us most of the time even if he's right in front of us I don't think that's fair, we pay the same amount . like tonight i told him i want one of the strips and he wasin front of me and he said "I have tostart at the back" why? because theyhave the same skin color? i made this comment so that the management can do something about this, it's been going on so pls do something. read more

I love Foothill bingo better than Durant Bingo... Foothill has the better and more Security guards looking out for their players to keep them safe. The Pull Tab Sellers and the Bingo Callers are very nice and helpful. I'm also giving 5 stars to the food stand. At Foothill, they have a variety of food selections to choose from (chicken, sandwiches, salads, fish, burgers, french fries, etc..). The food is prepared "fresh" everyday. At the other place, the lady prepare the food early and keep it in the food bins all day... Ummm yuck!!! Plus, once a month at Foothill, they have this game called Stripper Night and its played every 1st Monday of the month... its totally cool.. Its $50.00 for 1 machine, 2 - paper pack and 2 of every stripper games to play. Players purchase the ticket from the Security guards and the player has to select where they want to sit at in the bingo hall.. And when its time to play, all things you purchased will be placed on the table - where you selected your seating.. What I like most about this bingo hall... there's no drama here.. The Staff and the Security doesn't tolerate with that kind of behavior... I hope to see you there!!! And good luck to you on your game!!! read more

Just got cheated outta $250! Called bingo and held my machine up in the air! KB standing in my aisle and acts like he doesn't hear!! Caller acts like he doesn't hear!! Everyone around heard but them!!! Sounds kinda shady. They give me a free session worth $50 but that doesn't makeup for the $250! Bill says I have to yell load enough for them to hear. I yelled and held my machine! What the hell else am I'm supposed to do!!! They won't get any more money outta me! SHADY!!! I used to respect KB but that respect is now reserved!! read more

Best local place to play. Manger Bill and volunteers are frendly and helpful. I was impressed to see local charities come to accept donations from bingo profits which is rare these days. Not a get rich quick scam. The snack bar group provide good service too and deliver your order to your table. Free cofee and smiles. They play all the popular side flash boards and lightning games. Professional security team. Bingo machine $20. one set of specials $9. All you need is good luck to win. I left with an extra $620. not bad at all. I now play twice a week between Sunday and Tuesday. Try it, you'll like it :) read more

You can't beat $20 at a chance to win $500 with over 40 games in the machine, heck that's a big profit if you hit!!!!!!!
