Couchiching Bingo Palace
Harry's Rd. P9A 3M3 Fort Frances, ON, Canada

Well I waited till the last minute to have to post this, we will be open tonight spread the word fast . Thank u for your patience. We will be open tonight at our regular hours. Wasaw canteen is back in full operation so no outside food or beverages please and thank u.

Well it is Friday December 4, 2020. I have my results back and so do 4 other staff members, they are all coming back negative. We will open Sunday December 6th, 2020 with stricter guidelines in place. We will have to revert to less payouts as we will not have as many customers as we did before all this happened. I will update once again with the boundaries that we will be serving. Remember I do have the right to refuse anyone service and I will be reinforcing that in order to protect our people and First Nation members.

Hello! Everyone is probably waiting for this update, so here goes. At this time all our staff have either been tested for covid or waiting on results of their tests. Once we have enough staff with negative results we can re-open. We are in no rush to open the bingo palace and we will only open if it is safe to do so. We will have revised questions for customers to answer and we will reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who has travelled out of the rainy River district. We will have one final late night session where all the bonus pots must go. Please stay tuned. Thank u for patronage, If u have any concerns please feel free to message Doug...haha

Effective immediately october 3, 2020 the bingo hall will be implementing the following changes to our covid rules: 1. If you have visited Manitoba or Thunder Bay, and now KENORA you will not be allowed in the bingo hall until you have quarantined for 14 days(covid has active cases in these areas). 2. Once you have passed our covid entry worker and you have received your cards you must remain seated at all times. You will no longer be able to get up to buy event tickets yo...u must sit and wait for the workers to come to u. You may get up to use the washrooms only. 3. We will be monitoring more closely where and how people sit. If you come with a friend we ask that u sit on the same side of the table. This allows for two other people who have travelled together to be on the opposite side of the barrier. 4. We will not allow any outside food or beverages. (We have a fully functioning canteen) and there will be an additional worker to help take orders 5. We reserve the right to implement any further actions that we feel necessary to keep our customers and staff safe. If you can not follow these additional rules we ask that u stay home for everyone’s safety. Couchiching bingo place reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone for any reason. 6. As of today everyone must purchase the toonie pot ticket. The toonie pot is our way of tracking who has attended bingo. 7. Masks must now be worn inside the bingo hall at all times. You may still smoke, eat, and drink at your table you just have to put your mask back on when done. These and any more rules will be posted upon entry to the bing hall. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and anticipated cooperation. We look forward to serving you.

Please be advised that under the authority of chief and council the couchiching bingo hall will be closed for the next 4 nights starting tonight...please be careful and practice your social distancing. We will update this site in three days...thank u for your understanding

Well I have been asked time and time again to reserve a spot for a birthday girl/boy or for a couple to come celebrate their anniversary. I have in the past always announced a birthday or anniversary for our customers and helped them celebrate. So starting today we will set aside a table for people who would like to celebrate a birthday or anniversary with us. One of the conditions is that u must provide proof of your birthday or anniversary date, secondly only 4 people wi...ll be allowed at the designated table. Thirdly, you must arrive to the bingo hall by 5:30 or the table will open up to other customers, lastly, you must call the manager to reserve the table and to let us know how many will be in attendance at that table. 807-271-1700 Please call the week prior to your event. We will not reserve the table a month ahead of time, simply because I will forget. Hahaha, please be safe and practice social distancing. Thanks See more

80 people allowed indoors folks...we will be following the rules...so the bingo hall will only be allowing the first 80 customers in. Anyone caught not following the rules will not be allowed back in the palace...so wear your mask remain seated at all times and don’t crowd each other on the way out...Doug will tell me if your not following the rules this also applies to when u are waiting in line. Maintain your social distance or be banned. Thanks and remember I am watching you. Hahaha I miss u guys.. be safe
