Gila River Resorts & Casinos has announced the launch of a dedicated bingo club at its Santan Mountain property in Chandler, Arizona. 

The 13,000-square-foot facility will open to the public on 29 August, coinciding with a four-day grand opening event scheduled through 1 September.

The new bingo hall will feature both daytime and late-night sessions, including the debut of “Bingo After Dark” – a Saturday night event series beginning 30 August that will include live DJs, line dancing, glowsticks and cash prizes. 

The operator has confirmed that the bingo room includes indoor/outdoor areas, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the San Tan Mountains and a sound and lighting system designed to support an immersive playing experience.

Good to know: Gila River Resorts & Casinos previously announced a brand partnership with Peak Strategic Partnerships in March 2025 to expand sponsorship opportunities across the tribal gaming and entertainment sectors

Denise Pfaff, GM at Gila River Resorts & Casinos, said: “Bingo has consistently been one of the most beloved and high-energy experiences at our Vee Quiva location. With the excitement and demand continuing to grow, it only made sense to bring bingo to our newest and most modern property.”

Santan Mountain, which opened in 2023, is the fourth and newest gaming venue operated by Gila River Resorts & Casinos. 

In addition to its bingo expansion, the property features over 900 slot machines and table games.
