Buffalo and Western New York Bingo Halls and Games
Buffalo and western New York have the fullest bingo calendar in the state, starting with five confirmed games. Parishes in Buffalo and West Seneca play Thursday nights, and the Lockport Elks play Sundays. The Seneca Gaming & Entertainment halls in Irving and Salamanca play from Wednesday to Sunday between them. They are tribal gaming halls, not state-licensed charity bingo. After those comes a table of 25 more parish, post and fire company games from Buffalo Spree magazine’s bingo guide. We have not confirmed those with each organizer, so they are not counted among the five.

Western New York Games from Buffalo Spree’s Bingo Guide
The 25 games in this table are copied from the bingo guide in Buffalo Spree magazine’s Forever Young section, which was updated on October 2, 2026. We have not confirmed them with each organizer, and the guide itself asks players to call first. Most of the phone numbers are printed as seven digits. They are western New York numbers, so dial area code 716 first. The guide also lists two halls across the border in Fort Erie and Niagara Falls, and our Ontario bingo halls page covers that side.
