Hey Bingo fans of Connecticut, did you know that the largest Bingo hall in the world is in Southeastern Connecticut?

Foxwoods is ramping up the action inside their 30,000-square-foot and 2,200+ seat High Stakes Bingo Hall in the next few weeks, and if you've never been, it's quite a sight.

If you think this is Bingo just like the games you attend in the basement of your local VFW or house of worship, you should know better.

The MVP of all things New England apparently is as big a fan as us fans of the sports card trading game, and it's a wonderful place to find that Shohei Ohtani Chrome Signature.
