Like its sister sports shuffleboard and canasta, bingo is so unhip, it’s hip. It’s also easy to play, with no complicated game patterns to follow and, let’s face it, winning comes down to pure luck. Jeffrey Bowman of Legendary Bingo in L.A. says that the game is a distraction from the club scene: “You can be whoever you want to be, and you can go home feeling fine that you didn’t score.” And, according to Bowman, the best thing about bingo still holds true, no matter how old you are: “You always get really close to winning.”
