The published list documents 12 venues in Oregon, and the only city in that list with documented coordinates is Medford, sitting at 42.35555556 latitude and -122.87861111 longitude. Road distance to any of these venues will be longer than the straight-line figures below, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel times.
The list is a snapshot, not a licence count
The figure of 12 documented venues comes from a publicly published reference list, not from a state regulator. Lists are edited at different times, so a count can lag an opening or a closure. The authoritative current list sits with the Oregon gaming authority, and anyone planning a trip should check there before relying on this snapshot.
The same list documents 3 venues as closed. That matters for a bingo player because a venue name can appear in older write-ups, maps, or forum posts long after it stops operating. The list's documented status is the only status this article can describe.
Where the documented venues sit
The list names venues across 11 distinct cities. North Bend appears twice, while Lincoln City, Cascade Locks, Warm Springs, Chiloquin, and Medford each appear once. All 12 documented venues are classified as Native American venues in the list's type field.
| City | Documented venues | Type |
|---|---|---|
| North Bend | 2 | Native American |
| Lincoln City | 1 | Native American |
| Cascade Locks | 1 | Native American |
| Warm Springs | 1 | Native American |
| Chiloquin | 1 | Native American |
| Medford | 1 | Native American |
Five other cities account for the remaining documented venues, each with a single entry. The list does not provide coordinates for those cities, so this article cannot place them on a map or measure them against any reference point.
Medford is the only coordinate-anchored city
Medford sits in southern Oregon, west of the Cascade Range and north of the California state line. Its documented coordinates place it at roughly 42.36 degrees north latitude and 122.88 degrees west longitude. That is the only city in this list for which a fixed geographic position can be stated.
Because no other city in the list has documented coordinates, no straight-line distance can be measured from Medford to any other documented venue city. The list does not supply the pairs, and this article does not compute distances that are not already documented.
Straight-line distances documented for this article
No venue-to-city distance pairs were supplied for this query. The distance matrix is empty, so there is no table of measured pairs to present. What can be stated is the fixed position of Medford itself, and the reader can measure from there using their own starting point.
Straight-line distance is the shortest path across the surface of the earth between two coordinate pairs. It ignores every physical obstacle between them. Road distance is always equal to or longer than straight-line distance, and in Oregon the gap can be substantial because of mountain ranges, river valleys, and the way highways follow terrain rather than a direct line.
Why road distance differs so much in Oregon
Oregon's geography forces road networks into indirect paths. The Cascade Range runs north-south through the state and separates the Willamette Valley from the high desert to the east. A straight line between two points on opposite sides of the range may cross terrain where no road exists, so drivers travel north or south to a pass, then back toward their destination.
Water creates the same effect. The Columbia River forms much of the northern border, and coastal venues sit west of the Coast Range. A straight line to a coastal city may cross forested ridges with no through route, while the actual road follows river valleys or climbs to a pass. The result is that road mileage can exceed straight-line mileage by a wide margin, and no single multiplier applies across the state.
If the question is "near me"
The venue locations are fixed; the reader's starting point is not. This article cannot know where the reader is, so it cannot answer "near me" with a distance. What it can do is give the documented fixed position of Medford and the documented city list, and let the reader measure from their own location.
A reader can take the Medford coordinates, enter them into any mapping tool along with their own current position, and get a route and a road distance from that tool. The tool will also show driving time, which this article does not publish. The straight-line figure is a starting reference, not a travel plan.
What the venue list does and does not tell a bingo player
The list documents venue names and cities, not bingo schedules. A venue that appears in the list may or may not offer bingo on any given day, and this article has no session times, buy-in figures, or game formats for any named venue. The list's value is geographic: it shows where documented venues sit and which are documented as closed.
For current bingo offerings, the venue's own published schedule page or a phone call to its guest services line is the authoritative channel. A player should confirm that bingo is offered at all before travelling, because a casino venue can exist without a bingo hall, and a bingo hall can change its weekly schedule without any list updating.
What to confirm before you go
Several things change independently of any published list. The venue's operating status may differ from the list's snapshot, especially for the three venues documented as closed. Bingo session days and times are set by the venue and change seasonally or for holidays. Entry requirements, if any, are set by the venue and are not in this article.
The venue's own website or published schedule page is the first place to check. A phone call to the venue's guest services line confirms what a website may not state clearly, such as whether bingo runs on a particular date. The state gaming authority's public list is the channel for confirming which venues currently hold authority to operate, and it is the only source this article would point to for that question.
FAQ
Does this article tell me which Oregon venue offers bingo?
No. The published list documents venue names and cities, not game offerings. A venue can be documented as operating without offering bingo, and bingo schedules change. The venue's own schedule page or guest services line is the authoritative channel for current bingo offerings.
Why are there no driving distances in this article?
Driving distance depends on road routes, which this article does not publish. The only measurable figures are straight-line distances between documented coordinate pairs, and no such pairs were supplied for this query. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and the reader should use a mapping tool for a route.
How do I find the venue closest to my location?
Take the documented Medford coordinates and the documented city list, then enter your own starting point into a mapping tool. The tool will compute road distance and travel time from your location to each city. This article cannot perform that measurement because it does not know the reader's starting point.
