According to the December 21, 2006 Press-Enterprise, Bingo is the one form of gambling in Las Vegas that lost money in October, 2006. Las Vegas lost approximately one million dollars on Bingo in that month. This is the only game that lost money. This is good news for the player in that the house advantage is not what it used to be. They had to have paid out one million dollars more than they took in on bingo online which means there were quite a few progressive jackpot winners for the big money. This means that bingo might be the game to play for visitors to Las Vegas!

Las Vegas is home to the United State’s few commercial bingo parlors. It is one of the few places in the country, other than Indian tribal , where commercial bingo is available. Like the casinos, many of the Las Vegas bingo parlors operate twenty-four hours a day with above average prizes which makes them attractive for the players. They all offer some form of progressive jackpot with the smallest being $1,199 and the largest being over $109,000. Many of the bingo parlors link together for the jackpot game in order to offer a large progressive jackpot. Playing bingo in Las Vegas has the player playing for much larger pots than at their local church basement bingo. These commercial bingo parlors are not holding fundraisers. They are in business to make money, just like the UK casino.
