The Potawatomi Bingo hall in Portage, Wisconsin, closed in September 2017. The closure was announced on the bingo hall’s Facebook page and cited “economic factors” as the reason for the closure.
The Potawatomi Bingo hall was one of two bingo halls in Portage – the other is located at the casino. .
The closure of the Potawatomi Bingo hall may have been due to a number of factors. First, the bingo hall was located in a small town that has been struggling economically in recent years.
Second, bingo is no longer as popular as it once was – especially among younger people – and there are fewer opportunities for gambling businesses to make money. Third, there are now more venues that offer electronic bingo games, which are less expensive to run and do not require a large staff.
