The question starts with a location that does not match the venue
Ho-Chunk Gaming – Wisconsin Dells is not in Madison. It sits in the Town of Delton, Wisconsin, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo, at coordinates 43.528836, -89.77474. The venue is owned by the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin, one of six Ho-Chunk casinos in the state and one of the three largest. The Madison reference point does not appear in the distance records available for this article, so the specific Madison-to-venue pairing cannot be measured here.
That does not leave the reader without bearings. The venue's fixed position can be compared against dozens of documented reference cities using straight-line, great-circle distances. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
What the documented facility figures show
The property holds over 2,000 slot machines and 48 table games, with a hotel of 302 rooms. These figures come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time, not necessarily today's count. Casinos are rebuilt and expanded, and room counts or machine counts change as properties are updated.
None of the documented facility figures mention bingo. The question of whether bingo is offered at this specific venue is a live, changeable operational detail. This article can describe the venue's geography and structure, but it cannot confirm a current bingo schedule, bingo hall, or bingo session. The authoritative current answer lives with the property's own published offerings and guest services.
Why the Madison framing matters
Readers often attach a casino to the nearest large city they know. Madison is a prominent Wisconsin city, and the Ho-Chunk name appears across multiple properties in the state. But the venue in question is documented in the Town of Delton, between Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo. The fixed coordinates place it northwest of Milwaukee and west of Lake Michigan, in the southern half of Wisconsin. The straight-line distance from Milwaukee is 97.6 miles, which gives a sense of regional position without implying a driving route.
Because the venue is not in Madison, any question that begins with "Madison" needs to be reframed around the venue's actual documented location. The reader's own starting point is the variable, not the venue.

Straight-line versus road distance
A great-circle distance is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate points. It ignores terrain, water, road networks, state boundaries, and the practical need to follow highways. That is why the straight-line figure is always shorter than the distance a vehicle travels.
For this venue, the gap between straight-line and road distance is shaped by the local geography. The property sits in a region of Wisconsin with lakes, rivers, and rolling terrain. A road route must follow available corridors, cross waterways at bridge points, and respect the layout of towns like Wisconsin Dells and Baraboo. None of those factors appear in a great-circle measurement. This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or route guidance.
How to measure from your own starting point
The venue's coordinates are fixed: 43.528836, -89.77474. Your starting point is the variable. To understand your own distance, take your current coordinates or city and compare them against the fixed point. A mapping tool will give you a road distance and a travel time; a coordinate calculator will give you a great-circle figure. The table above gives you documented reference points to anchor that comparison.
If your starting point is not in the table, this article cannot measure that specific pairing. The venue's documented position does not change, but the distance from an unlisted origin is not something this article can state.
What to confirm before you go
Several details about this venue are changeable and should be confirmed through the property's own channels before travel. The existence of a bingo hall, bingo session times, and bingo pricing are operational details that change. The current slot machine count, table game count, and hotel room availability may also differ from the documented figures cited here.
The authoritative current answer for bingo and other live offerings lives with the venue's own published offerings page and its guest services line. Confirm the specific day and session you plan to attend, whether bingo is offered at all at this property, and whether any separate admission or buy-in applies. Do not rely on a static article for a schedule that changes.
