I just came home on Saturday, August 13th, 2011. I am shocked at how badly I was treated tonite by the Knights of Columbus. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic orginization that raises money for it's charity on Saturday nights at First Class Bingo and Raffle. First the computers here are so screwed up and apparently outdated that they are not reliable. The computers are numbered and they are skipping numbers and you never know what you are going to get. I have played here for years and found it all comes down to having the right computer. Some computers you will get and from the get go you find out you are never going to have a chance of winning no matter what you do. Right away I can tell if it is a good computer or a bad computer. And yes most of the computers are crap. All night you will be three numbers away and don't have a chance. One time I had a computer after 62 numbers and I still needed 6 numbers. I was like are you kidding me. I always get there triple package which starts at 60.00. That doesn't even inclue the specials. I have dealt with this worker Bob before and he always just throws his hands up and claims he has nothing to do with anything when there is a problem. Then this lady tonite bought pulltabls and won 500.00. she wasn't even playing bingo at all,. i found out she was the wife of oe of the Knights of columbus workers. I don't think that is right. Well people complained so they took the 500 she won after she gave it back trying to act like she was the victim. and added it to the 1000.00 prize at the end of the night. Well they did not give the 1500.00 winner a tax form. She is suppose to pay taxes on that. Then the worker Bob accused me of doing the same thing this woman did and said that I came there and just played pull tabs and didn't play bingo. I told him that wasn't true. I asked him when I did that and he all of a sudden couldn't recall exactly. Yeah how convenient. Then on top of all of this there was a minor playing bingo in the hall and won. Frank the worker asked for her Id and she said she didn't have it and he let it go. It was obvious the girl is not 18. It is illegal to allow minors in the bingo hall period. i have witnessed minors in there before usually sitting with the adults playing but this time this girl was acutally playing and won a prize. I told the charity tonite this is my last night officially playing here. I will no longer patron there charity at all. There is no consistency at this place. Every night they are open there is some problem. And why have two smoke breaks. I am relieved to be done with Saturday nights. I will not be disrespected by an idiot like Bob and patron there charity. And I don't appreciate the lady who runs the hall with Harland yelling that people can come in the hall and play pull tabs without playing bingo. I actually bought a 20.00 coupon card to support her sons football thing and than she yells at us about talking about the lady who played and won without playing bingo. We weren't even talking about what she was yelling at people for. This place will jump all over you for discussing anything about the place. If they don't like what you are saying they will give you the riot act. They lost me as a customer. I spent a lot of money at this place. The only way you can teach a place to not disrespect you any longer is to not patron it any longer. The charities at this place don't appreciate the money they make off of us bingo players. It is obvious. And the Saturday night group is by far the worst. I like the lady who runs it with Harland but I will no longer be disrespected and her backing them up.
