Cosmic Bingo/Adrian Optimist Club

This is a new and exciting style of bingo played under black lights with glowing bingo cards, daubers, and party favors. To keep the upbeat temp, music will be played throughout the night by local DJ Kut. Along with the large $200 payouts per bingo game, we will also have “Minute to Win It” style games that will give you even more of an opportunity to win cash.

Additional playing papers will also be available for purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone and being a part of the 1st Cosmic Bingo in the area.
