Yeah, I know. Nobody really cares about the fate of Maryland's Bingo Halls but for the fact that is the niche in which a famous Vegas Mogul got his start.
Some recent press indicates a 25 percent decline in tax revenue from Anne Arundel county Bingo Halls due to vast competition from lottery and casinos as well as internet gambling.
No one would really bother writing or reading the articles if it were not for the Steve Wynn angle.

I must have driven by Wayson's a million times, but nobody ever pointed it out to me or even mentioned the bingo parlors around there.
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

The very secretive owner of all those Dotties in Nevada and Ain't Named Dotties in Oregon is probably grateful for all those who do not notice such establishments. He just keeps raking in cash by providing comfortable chairs and good lighting.

Waysons was actually ran by Steve Wynn prior to his dealings in Vegas. He was a really young guy at the time (and per my uncle's words, Wynn used to call bingo numbers there)

Back then some bingo joints had their stooges cheating for them. Just hand your card to a worker and have him read off winnings
numbers LOL Doubt that happens now. Sure I do.

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet
