Amirah: I graduated from Mtc. State in 1987 and taught HS in Livingston for about 10 years, so I know your area. DH taught in North Plainfield, so he'd probably know what church you mean. Small world!
Most of the larger locals casinos have Bingo. The only bingo on the Strip is the Frontier, and at Fremont Street the Plaza. The session jackpots are almost always $1000, but the "lucky number" jackpots get into the $5-10,000 range. Progressives range from $25-150,000. It's a LOT of money for costing $5 minimum per hour!
Several years ago I worked a one-day million dollar bingo tournament, and the grand prize winner won, you guessed it, $1,000,000. The funny thing was, she was in my area so I got to talking to her, and she was from Clifton, NJ!!!!!
The only gambling I do is bingo...but we have bingo 24/7/365 out here, so look out!!!
