Last chance to play bingo at Grande Ronde casino

Wednesday, January 25, 2006  

The Confederated Grand Ronde Tribes of Oregon are shutting down the bingo hall at the Spirit Mountain Casino on Thursday.

The tribe will convert the hall into a non-smoking gaming space. Some of the casino's existing slot machines are going to be moved into the room. Casino executives don't know if bingo will ever make a return.

The tribe would like to install more slot machines but will have to negotiate a new compact with the state. Talks are ongoing.
