Bingo Halls in Massachusetts: 69 Listings

In Massachusetts, charity bingo is officially called Beano. It is the same game, run by parishes, Elks lodges, Knights of Columbus councils and veterans posts under a license from the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. The biggest cluster of games is around Springfield and Chicopee.

There are more on the South Shore, in Worcester County and in the towns around Boston, but the Commission lists only one game inside Boston itself. Last checked: October 2026. You will find 64 licensed games here. For 20 of them we checked the organizer’s own website, calendar or parish bulletin (one against a September 2026 newspaper notice).

The other 44 come straight from the Commission’s list of licensed games. That list does not always match the hall’s own start times, and one parish on it has paused its game. Halls change nights, so a quick call before a long drive is wise.

What does a night add up to when a regular game pays up to $100 and a progressive up to $3,000? And what does a parish or lodge keep after the 5% state tax? Try the bingo payout calculator.

Massachusetts Bingo at a Glance

• Beano or bingo: the same game: Massachusetts law calls it Beano, and the Commission writes Bingo (Beano)
• Who regulates it: the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, through its Charitable Gaming Division
• Minimum age: 18, and nobody younger may be in the room while the game is played
• Main prize limit: $100 for a regular game, $500 for a special game, $1,200 for a 50-50 game and $3,000 for a progressive jackpot
• Games on this page: 64 licensed games (20 with full details, 44 from the Commission’s list), with the biggest cluster in Chicopee, Springfield and the towns around them
• Last checked: October 2026

Each region has two kinds of listing. Games with a full block were checked against the organizer’s own page. Where that page and the Commission’s list disagree, we show both and say which is which. The tables underneath copy the Commission’s list as it stood in October 2026.

Their addresses, licensed days and times and phones are the Commission’s, and we have not checked them with the hall. Most Massachusetts halls do not post their prices, so you will see prices only where the hall gives them.

Bingo in Boston and the North Shore

See the full Boston bingo guide for a page just on this area.

Greater Boston and the North Shore of Massachusetts have 12 licensed bingo games, with one somewhere every day but Friday and Saturday. Four have full details, in Newton, Quincy, Revere and Franklin. The other eight come from the State Lottery Commission’s list.

Inside Boston, the Commission lists one game: Our Lady of Czestochowa in South Boston on Thursdays. The parish’s October 11, 2026 bulletin did not mention bingo, so call before you go. Around the city there are games in Somerville, Revere, Watertown, Newton and Quincy.

On the North Shore, the Knights of Columbus halls in Lynn and Peabody have games. St. Joseph Parish in Malden paused its bingo on June 8, 2026. The state list still shows it, but we have left it out.

• Alcohol: none may be sold, served or drunk in the bingo area during the game
• Pull tabs and tax: the Commission supplies the charity game tickets (pull tabs) sold at licensed games, and the organization, not the player, pays a 5% tax on its gross receipts
• Senior club games: clubs for people 60 and older may run beano for their own members without a license if they hold an identification number from the Commission, charge no more than $5 and award prizes of no more than $100

The prize limits, the age rule and the two-day limit are in Massachusetts General Laws chapter 10, section 38. The Commission keeps its list of licensed games on its Bingo Locations by Town/City page. Its bingo FAQs answer common questions, and its main line is 781-849-5555. The Commission’s own bingo page still quotes 2018 figures, so the counts here come from its 2025 annual report.
