Casino would put end to bingo - 2004-01-10
Bingo will no longer be played at DeJope if it is to be converted into a casino, because the 1,200-seat bingo hall will be replaced with slot machines.
In fact, half of the hall's main bingo floor was electronically wired for slots when DeJope Bingo Hall was built on Madison's Southeast Side in 1999, Ho-Chunk officials said.
