It is illegal to play a game of bingo that lasts longer than five hours.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

To prevent gambling addicts from playing all night, state lawmakers capped the duration of a single bingo session. This law ensures church basement operations do not turn into round-the-clock casinos. You also cannot offer alcohol during the game to keep things completely sober.
