Bingo at Prairie Band Casino: The Fixed Location Behind the Question

The question about bingo at Prairie Band Casino & Resort has a documented answer: the casino floor includes a bingo hall alongside 1,090 slot machines and 31 table games. The venue sits at a fixed point in Mayetta, Kansas, and this article is about that fixed location, not about how far any individual reader is from it.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving miles or travel times. The figures below are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates, useful for understanding relative position, not for planning a drive.

The bingo hall and the casino floor

Publicly published reference sources describe the casino as a 35,000-square-foot gaming floor containing 1,090 slot machines, a bingo hall, and 31 table games. The bingo hall is part of the main casino building, not a separate structure, so anyone asking whether the venue has bingo is asking about a documented facility within the property.

Because the bingo hall is a physical room inside a larger building, its location is the same as the venue's location. There is no separate address or coordinate for the bingo hall itself. A reader who wants to know whether bingo is offered on a specific day, at a specific hour, or with a specific buy-in should confirm those details through the venue's own published schedule, because this article does not carry hours, session times, or prices.

The fixed point: Mayetta, Kansas

The venue's documented coordinates are 39.31527778 north latitude and -95.75111111 west longitude. That places it in Mayetta, Kansas, a small city in the northeastern part of the state. The coordinates place the venue north and slightly west of the Kansas City metropolitan area, and east of Topeka, the state capital.

Mayetta sits within Jackson County, Kansas. The venue is owned by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and opened in 1998 as the first full-service casino in the state of Kansas. It was originally operated by Harrah's Entertainment under a management agreement until July 1, 2007, when the tribe took over operations.

Straight-line distances to reference points

The table below lists every documented straight-line distance for this venue. Each figure is a great-circle measurement between two coordinate pairs. None of these figures is a road distance, and none of them should be used to estimate driving time.

Why straight-line distance is not road distance

A great-circle measurement follows the curve of the Earth between two coordinate pairs. It ignores every physical feature on the ground. A road route must follow highways, county roads, and city streets, and it must cross rivers at bridges, avoid lakes and reservoirs, and bend around hills and valleys.

For this venue, the difference between straight-line and road distance is shaped by the regional landscape. The venue sits in northeastern Kansas, where the road network follows a mix of state highways and county roads rather than a single direct line. A driver approaching from Kansas City, for example, would not travel in a straight line northwest; the actual route follows the available road network and will be longer than the 64.5 straight-line miles shown above.

Crossing a state line also adds complexity. The venue is close to the Kansas-Missouri border, and a reader coming from Missouri or Nebraska would cross that boundary on a route that does not match the straight-line figure. None of the figures in the table above should be read as a driving distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel time.

If your question starts with "from me" or "from my location"

The venue's position is fixed. Your position is not. This article cannot know where you are, so it cannot compute a distance from you. What it can do is give you the venue's documented coordinates and a table of straight-line distances to many reference cities, so you can see where the venue sits relative to places you may know.

To measure from your own starting point, take the venue's coordinates — 39.31527778 north latitude, -95.75111111 west longitude — and enter them into any mapping tool along with your own location. The tool will show you a road route and a driving distance. That figure is the one that matters for planning a trip, and it is not something this article can supply.

What to confirm before you go

Several details about this venue change or are not covered by the documented facility figures. Before travelling, confirm the current bingo session schedule, the hours of the bingo hall, any buy-in or session pricing, and whether bingo is offered every day or only on certain days. These details are published by the venue itself and are not part of this article.

The casino floor figures — 1,090 slot machines, 31 table games, and the presence of a bingo hall — describe a documented point in time. Properties are renovated and expanded, and the current count may differ. The venue's own published materials are the authoritative source for what is on the floor today.
