$1000 Pull Tab Bingo and Family Day Coming Up at Devine VFW Post 3966

Devine VFW Post 3966 charity bingo is open to the public. Proceeds from bingo fund our Post’s charitable giving to our community. We hold bingo every Thursday and doors open at 4:30 pm. We start selling pull tabs and bingo games at 5:30 pm. The first Thursday of every month we will have a $1000 Pull Tab. Pull tabs will be played when each game of pull tabs sells out. We start regular bingo at 7:00pm and usually finish just before 10:00 pm. Food, snacks and drinks are available. Our Post and Bingo Hall are located at 211 W. College Ave., Devine, TX, across from the Devine US Post Office.
Devine VFW Post 3966 charity bingo will no longer have computer bingo after this month. Thursday, August 29th will be the last night we have computers to play bingo. The reason for discontinuing the computers is two-fold. Rent on the computers is expensive and was not justified with only one use per week. The other reason is that Post members felt that the computers gave an advantage to people who used them and thus were unfair. Grab your daubers and come out for a night of fun and help us build our regular crowd so that we can increase the game payouts. If attendance is over 110 players, the jackpots for regular Bingo will be raised $100 (to $300 and $600).
