Envisioning a new type of bingo hall, founder Charlie Jones opened Gretna Bingo Palace in July 1993 at 1900 Franklin Avenue in Gretna. Inso doing, he created a clean, modern, comfortable facility where players could have fun and charitable, civic, and non-profit organizations could generate funds for their projects.
Today, Gretna Bingo Palace offers the largest bingo jackpot in the New Orleans metro area. Playing 25 sessions a week, we offer more chances to win higher jackpots than any other hall. Every session features a payout of $4500, while monthly super games have total giveaways of as much as $25,000. Our progressives allow players to win pots as high as $50,000 with no additional buy-in. The hall features a video bingo room,with $1000 jackpots and a snack bar offering a variety of refreshments. Our bingo computer offers the best technology in the industry, while the loyalty program allows players to earn free machines.
Gretna Bingo Palace has been great for the community over the last 26 years, allowing non-profit game sponsors to raise over 1 million dollars per year for their charitable organizations. Clubs such as Westbank Rotary, Westbank Optimist, Westbank ARC, Davy Crockett Fire Department, Gretna Police Benevolent Association, Gretna Historical Society, Italian American Cultural Association, German American Cultural Center, Knights of Columbus, Gretna Economic Development, Post Backstage, and Krewe of Cleopatra are westbank staples and have all benefited from their association with Gretna Bingo Palace.
As this anniversary approaches, our management and owners hope to continue pleasing customers and providing the best place to play bingo in the Greater New Orleans area.
