Bingo Halls in Arkansas: Locations, Rules and Directions

Bingo in Arkansas is charity bingo: veterans posts, lodges, churches and other nonprofits run it with volunteers under a license from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, and the state’s three casinos list no bingo on their websites. Our confirmed list is short, only 8 games in the whole state: in Springdale and Prairie Grove in the northwest, between Jacksonville and Cabot north of Little Rock, in Mountain Home and Salem in the north, in Mena, and in El Dorado and East Camden in the south. We could not confirm a game in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway, Benton, Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, West Memphis, Blytheville, Hot Springs, Texarkana or Pine Bluff. Last checked: October 2026. Each of the 8 was checked against the organizer’s own website or calendar, a local radio calendar, a 2026 local news report or, for two of them, a copy of the organizer’s event on an events website; 18 more are unconfirmed leads, listed separately. State rules hold each group to two sessions a week and most post their schedule only on Facebook, so call before you drive.

Bingo in Little Rock and Central Arkansas

We list one confirmed game in central Arkansas, and it is not in Little Rock: VFW Post 4548, on Old Highway 67 between Jacksonville and Cabot, plays on Wednesday and Sunday. We could not confirm a game inside Little Rock itself, or in North Little Rock, Conway or Benton. Halls and lodges in those towns turn up in Google and directory listings, but none posts a schedule we could check. Ten leads for central Arkansas are in the table further down.

- A Google reviewer describes the post as smoke free, with a smoking area outside.

Bingo in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas

We list two confirmed games in northwest Arkansas, neither of them inside Fayetteville: Ark Vets Bingo in Springdale, the city next door, which plays Thursday to Sunday, and American Legion Post 146 in Prairie Grove, which plays on the first Thursday of each month. We could not confirm a game in Fayetteville itself, or in Rogers, Bentonville or Fort Smith. Leads for Rogers, Fort Smith and Russellville are in the table further down.

- Food and drink concessions are sold.
- We have these details from a copy of the post’s own event on an events website, not from a page the post runs itself, so phone before you drive.

Bingo in Mountain Home and North Arkansas

We list two confirmed games in north Arkansas: American Legion Post 52 in Mountain Home on Wednesday and VFW Post 9777 in Salem on Friday. Both are veterans posts, and both were on a current page or calendar in October 2026.

Worth a stop nearby (map links):

Mountain Home Bingo at American Legion Post 52

Address: 717 Market St., Mountain Home, AR 72653 (Directions)
Phone: (870) 424-6277 (the post)

Phone: 870-371-2823

- The post lists the game and its phone number in the announcements on its website, which were current for October 2026.
- Phone on the day if the weather is bad.
- Prices are not posted.

Bingo in Northeast Arkansas

We list no confirmed games in northeast Arkansas: none in Jonesboro, West Memphis or Blytheville. No organizer’s page or current local report we could open shows a game there. Three leads are in the table further down: an AMVETS post in Jonesboro, VFW Post 5225 in West Memphis, where a Google review mentions Friday night bingo, and Amvets Post 62 in Pocahontas. Southland Casino in West Memphis lists no bingo on its website. Tennessee has no weekly bingo halls, as our Tennessee bingo page explains, so players coming from Memphis may want our Mississippi bingo halls page as well.

Bingo in Mena and Southwest Arkansas

We list one confirmed game in southwest Arkansas: the Elks lodge in Mena, which played on Thursdays about twice a month from April to August 2026 and has posted no later dates. We could not confirm a game in Hot Springs or in Texarkana. Oaklawn in Hot Springs lists no bingo on its website, and the Texarkana Elks lodge calendar shows other game nights but no bingo. A Lions Club bingo night in Hot Springs Village is a lead in the table further down.

Worth a stop nearby (map links):

Mena Elks Lodge No. 781

Address: 124 Elks Dr, Mena, AR 71953 (Directions)
Phone: (479) 394-9919 (lodge); (479) 394-3740 (office)
Days and times: Thursdays at 7:00pm, about twice a month, not weekly. The lodge calendar listed April 23, May 14 and 28, June 11 and 25 and August 13 and 27, 2026. August 27, 2026 is the last date it shows, so call for the next one
Good to know:
- The lodge gives its location as 124 Elk Lane. From Mena, go east on Highway 8, turn right onto Highway 375 South, and Elk Lane is on the left about a mile down.
- The lodge calendar gives no prices and does not say whether non-members may play. State rules say a licensed game may not turn a player away for not being a member.

Bingo in El Dorado and South Arkansas

We list two confirmed games in south Arkansas: American Legion Post 10 in El Dorado on Thursday and VFW Post 4554 at East Camden on Tuesday. Both rest on thinner sources than the games further north, so read the notes under each one. We could not confirm a game in Pine Bluff, and Saracen Casino Resort lists no bingo on its website. A bingo hall in Monticello is a lead in the table further down.

Worth a stop nearby (map links):

American Legion Post 10 (El Dorado)

Address: 901 S. Washington, El Dorado, AR (Directions)
Phone: (870) 862-7849 (from the post’s Google listing)
Days and times: Thursday at 5:00pm, as announced in July 2026 for games starting August 13, 2026
Good to know:
- A local news report of July 29, 2026 said the post would sponsor bingo on Thursdays at 901 S. Washington. We have seen no schedule from the post itself.
- Google lists the post itself at a different address, 105 Christian Dr, El Dorado, AR 71730, so phone to confirm where the game is played before you drive.
- A Google reviewer says early bingo starts at 5:00 and regular bingo at 6:30, with 2 packs for $25. The post has not confirmed that.

VFW Post 4554 (East Camden)

Address: 115 Ouachita 212 Rd, Camden, AR 71701 (Directions)
Days and times: Tuesday night. The post’s event listing is dated Tuesday, October 6 to Tuesday, October 13, 2026 and gives 4:00pm. Google shows the post opening at 4:00pm on weekdays, so that is probably the opening hour, not the time of the first game
Good to know:
- This is Hubert Joseph Purifoy VFW Post 4554. Its listing gives the place as East Camden.
- Our source here is weaker than for most games on this page: a copy of the post’s Tuesday Night Bingo event on an events website, dated from one Tuesday to the next. It does not say in so many words that the game is every week.
- A Google reviewer says early bingo starts at 5:30 and regular bingo at 6:30, that the cover-all pays $1,000 on the second Tuesday of the month and $500 other weeks, and that food is sold. The post has not confirmed any of that.
- No phone number is posted, so you cannot call ahead. A reviewer says the post is behind the Dollar General.

More Arkansas Bingo Listings

We could not confirm any of these 18. Addresses, phone numbers and hours are from each hall’s Google listing in October 2026 or from a bingo directory, and one row is from a 2025 event listing. Where a day comes from a review, it is an undated Google review, not the hall’s own word. Most of these places post only on Facebook. Treat them as leads and call first.

A few names are not on this page. The VFW post on Industrial Road in El Dorado once held a bingo night, but a Google review now says it no longer does. The Highland Elks lodge in Cherokee Village says on its own page that it has no bingo at this time. Free bingo nights at bars and breweries are left out as well.

Arkansas Bingo Rules

Who regulates it: the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), through the Miscellaneous Tax Section of its Office of Excise Tax Administration, (501) 682-7187, under the Charitable Bingo and Raffles Enabling Act
Who may run bingo: a licensed nonprofit that has existed in Arkansas for at least 5 years and is a tax-exempt religious, educational, veterans, fraternal, service, civic or medical organization, or a volunteer rescue, fire or police organization; an annual license costs $100 and a license for a single session costs $25
Who works the game: the group’s own officers and members, auxiliary members included, as unpaid volunteers; no one may be paid to run a game, though a volunteer may accept a tip
Prize limits: $1,000 for a single game and $7,500 for all the prizes in one session; a door prize of up to $250 does not count toward the $7,500
Minimum age: 18 to play bingo or buy a raffle ticket, with no exception stated
Non-members: a licensed game may not turn a player away for not being a member of the organization
How often: one session per group per day and no more than two in a week, each no longer than 5 hours in a row; one building may host no more than two groups and no more than four sessions a week
Electronic bingo and pull tabs: playing through any electronic device or machine is prohibited, and the DFA rule says bingo equipment does not include pull-tab bingo tickets; games are played on paper faces, every player must be in the room, and games may not be linked between locations

The DFA sets out the license types and fees on its bingo and raffle tax page, and the limits above come from DFA Rule 2007-4, which matches the Charitable Bingo and Raffles Enabling Act (Arkansas Code 23-114-101 and following). The state also charges three tenths of a cent on every bingo face, collected from the distributors that sell them. For the year that began July 1, 2026 the DFA counted 332 annual bingo and raffle licenses and 55 single-session bingo licenses through September, but it does not publish a list of who holds them, so there is no state list to check a game against. We found no state rule about tax on a player’s winnings.

Arkansas Bingo FAQ

Is bingo legal in Arkansas?

Yes. Arkansas allows charity bingo run by a nonprofit that holds a license from the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. The group must have existed in Arkansas for at least 5 years and must run the game with its own unpaid volunteers.

How old do you have to be to play bingo in Arkansas?

You must be 18. The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration rule says no one under 18 may play bingo at a licensed game, and it gives no exception. Ark Vets Bingo in Springdale also keeps its smoking room to players 21 and over.

No. Arkansas rules prohibit playing bingo through any electronic device or machine, and say bingo equipment does not include pull-tab bingo tickets. Charity bingo in Arkansas is played on paper, in person.

Do Arkansas casinos have bingo?

Their websites show none. The websites of Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Southland in West Memphis and Saracen in Pine Bluff, the three Arkansas casinos, listed no bingo hall or bingo sessions when we checked in October 2026.

Is there bingo in West Memphis?

We could not confirm a game in West Memphis, Arkansas, and Southland Casino lists no bingo on its website. One lead is VFW Post 5225 at 406 S Avalon St, where a Google review mentions Friday night bingo; call (870) 735-9102 before you go.

Where can I play bingo in Little Rock?

We could not confirm a game inside Little Rock, Arkansas. The one confirmed game this page lists in central Arkansas is VFW Post 4548 at 6704 Old Hwy 67, between Jacksonville and Cabot, on Wednesday (bingo 6:00pm) and Sunday (bingo 4:00pm). Unconfirmed leads in Little Rock and North Little Rock are in the More Arkansas Bingo Listings table.

Where can I play bingo in Fayetteville?

No game is confirmed inside Fayetteville, Arkansas. Ark Vets Bingo at 2507 South Thompson in Springdale, next door, plays Thursday to Sunday with doors at 5:00pm and main packs at 7:30pm. American Legion Post 146 in Prairie Grove plays on the first Thursday of each month.

Where can I play bingo in Fort Smith?

We could not confirm a game in Fort Smith, Arkansas. One lead is the Knights of Columbus hall at 10203 Columbus Acres Rd, where Google reviews mention Tuesday night bingo; call (479) 649-7144 first. The confirmed games this page lists in the western half of the state are in Springdale (Thursday to Sunday), Prairie Grove (first Thursday of the month) and Mena (Thursdays about twice a month, last listed date August 27, 2026).

Why call before I go?

Arkansas groups may play only two sessions a week, the games are run by volunteers, and few post a schedule anywhere but Facebook. Only 8 games on this page are confirmed; one of them plays only when the weather allows and two are monthly or twice a month, so a call saves a wasted drive.
