Mary Esther Bingo — Local services in Mary Esther

If you're bored and you have a few extra bucks to spend and you want to try to make more this is the place for you. Now Bingo is a required taste. You either like playing bingo or you don't. And if I can do my math correctly the money that they make should go to making the place a little bit more inhabitable. Like the seating. The chairs up there are extremely uncomfortable. And yes they offer you Bingo mats to sit on which are about 5 inch thick and that's great but shouldn't have to do that if they would get proper seating. And if you are a smoker then you're more than welcome there but even a smoker at times can say there's too much smoke. There is no proper ventilation system. So it literally looks like a house fire when you walk in there. And extremely thick Grey Cloud of smoke. It sometimes can cause headaches and nausea. And they don't have a non-smoking section. Although some other bingo halls do this one does not. It's great that they have a little Deli in the back but if I looked at it correctly there kitchen area is a little shabby. And needs to be updated a little. Their Foods alright. The only complaint that I can really give is no proper ventilation. The bathroom stay pretty clean for the most part except for around session. It can get pretty messy. They offer vending machines and free coffee. And the staff are pretty friendly. But have the tendency to forget how many customers they...

Visiting from out of town and had a blast. All the employees were really friendly and helpful (I was there with my mom and had never played before). They were very patient and explained everything. Particularly the blonde woman, and the young man with long hair (I don't remember their names now, sorry)

However, I ordered a blt sandwich, and received only one single piece of bacon, broken in half on my BACON, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. I should've taken a picture of my tiny scraps of bacon surrounded by 99% tomato, lettuce, and bread.

The woman who works the food counter got kind of snotty about "food costs" when I complained. After the woman left another player told us that she once charged her for a plastic fork and knife for her burger.

For how much two sandwiches with no sides costs, I can't understand how a baconator from Wendy's is cheaper, has more bacon than a "B"LT, and a baconator is also a burger. And you can have a plastic fork if you want one for Gods sakes.

The chicken salad was delicious though.

Good times despite the sandwich. Friendly people. I ended the night 50 bucks ahead and still don't know how I did it.

Smoker friendly, but fortunately also mask friendly.

The bathrooms look like a Darren...

Pros-Fun environment, excellent volunteers working everyday, only session in Fort Walton beach

Cons- Outdated, dirty and broken. Machines are really old and alot are broken or sticky in someway. Bathrooms are usually cleaned but not scrubbed. Women's bathroom toilets have been leaking for a long time. Men's urinal has what looks to be black mold near the handle. Air filtration is terrible. There's no such thing as non smoking in there. You're in the back of the building surrounded by smokers not even 5 ft from you. Air ducts need to be cleaned, whether the heat or ac comes on half the room starts sneezing.

Overall I enjoy going but it can be so much better. Upgrade the machines, clean the ducts and bathrooms and update the place/ air filtration. Put some of that money back into...
