Forget everything you think you know about BINGO because Honey… this ain’t your Grandma’s Bingo!
Drag queens, outlandish outfits, contests, and prizes with raunchy and ribald humor, Drag Bingo is not for the faint of heart. No one is safe and nothing is sacred but it is all in good fun. It's the most fun $25 you'll ever spend!
Drag Bingo is in our 27th Season, and like any bingo, it is a game of chance where participants try to create rows, columns, or special shapes on their grid of 5X5 numbers based on random numbers. Sponsors, special guests, or the Drag Queens themselves call the numbers for each game. There are surprises galore so you never know what you are going to hear or see. “Special Games” are played throughout the night as well so there are many chances and ways to win.
Held on the 3rd Thursday of the month* at the famous Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, this fun night is filled with lots of laughs and crazy antics, all while raising much-needed funds for the programs and services of AIDS Care Ocean State. Cost is $25 for a Bingo Packet, CASH OR CHECK ONLY and they cannot be purchased in advance. There is a different theme every month and costumes & table décor are strongly encouraged so be creative. This is an 18+ event (no exceptions) and there is plenty of free parking. Doors open at 5pm, bingo cards start being sold at 5:30pm and the game begins at 7pm sharp!
Seating is first-come, first-serve so please arrive as close to 5pm as possible on the Thursday of Drag Bingo. No guarantee seating if we reach capacity or if you arrive after 7pm unless signed up as a Full Circle RSVP. Alcohol is NOT allowed in the main ballroom.
Doors open at 5pm with a cash bar Cocktail Hour before the start of the Drag Bingo game. Food can be purchased from Friskie Fries throughout the evening but you can also bring your own food and snacks. By state law, alcohol is NOT allowed in the main ballroom and will not be served 15 mins before the game begins. Doors to the main ballroom will open at 5:30pm. Did we mention, alcohol is NOT allowed in the main ballroom?
* June Pride Edition Drag Bingo is on the 1st Thursday of the Month

***Full Circle RSVP***
To reserve a table of 10 is an additional $5/person = $50 fee per table of 10 and can be paid online by clicking this link. Please scroll and click on "Full Circle Table of 10" from the dropdown menu so your information can be captured. Please enter the month/date of the Drag Bingo you will attend in the "Add a donation note/comment" box. This would reserve a table for 10 people for the night of Drag Bingo. However, if you are not able to fill your table (10 people) and you have empty seats on the night of Drag Bingo, the remaining seats may be filled as needed with other players.
This fee is not refundable if you cancel your Full Circle RSVP and, Per State of RI law, does NOT go towards the $25 Bingo Packet cost per person to play Drag Bingo. This charge is completely separate and cannot be combined with any other Drag Bingo purchases. Furthermore, the payment of the $50 Full Circle RSVP does not guarantee a person is able to play Drag Bingo if they arrive after 7pm unless someone else had already purchased a Bingo Booklet for them prior to 7pm on the night of Drag Bingo. Under no circumstances can Bingo Booklets be sold once the Drag Bingo games have begun at 7pm so the Full Circle RSVP is only to reserve a table of 10.
