Duluth, Minnesota sits at 46.7844°N, 92.1053°W, and the nearest documented casino venue to that coordinate is Crystal Shores Casino in Benzonia, Michigan, at 327.3 straight-line miles. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
The search phrase asks about Duluth, Georgia, but the coordinate that resolves is Duluth, Minnesota, and that is the fixed point this article works from. A venue's location does not move; a reader's starting point does. The useful question is therefore not "where is bingo near me" but "where does the documented geography place casino venues relative to Duluth, Minnesota, and how do I measure from my own position."
The documented distances from Duluth
Ten casino venues are documented with straight-line distances measured from the Duluth coordinate. Each figure below is a great-circle measurement between two coordinate pairs, not a road route.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal Shores Casino, Benzonia, MI | 327.3 | great-circle |
| Rockford Casino, Rockford, IL | 347.8 | great-circle |
| Warhorse Casino, Omaha, NE | 431.5 | great-circle |
| 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, New Town, ND | 496.3 | great-circle |
| Casino Woodbine, Etobicoke | 643.2 | great-circle |
| Turfway | 655.5 | great-circle |
| Riverboat | 661.2 | great-circle |
| Derby City | 671.6 | great-circle |
| Indigo Sky | 700.1 | great-circle |
| River Bend | 702.7 | great-circle |
These are the only distance pairs this article can state. No road mileage, no driving time, and no route description appears here because none is documented in a form this article can verify.
Why straight-line distance understates the actual trip
A great-circle line is the shortest path across the surface of a sphere between two coordinate points. A vehicle cannot travel that line. The difference between the straight-line figure and the road distance is created by several factors, all of which apply to every pair in the table above.
- Water. Duluth sits at the western tip of Lake Superior. Any route toward lower Michigan, for example, must go around the lake rather than across it, which adds substantial mileage beyond the straight-line figure.
- Terrain. Northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula are not flat. Road alignments follow valleys, avoid steep grades, and bend around ridges.
- Road network shape. Highways connect population centers, not coordinate pairs. A route from Duluth to Benzonia, Michigan, does not exist as a single direct road; it is assembled from segments that serve intermediate towns.
- State and provincial boundaries. The documented set crosses Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Ontario. Each boundary adds routing constraints, and the path to Casino Woodbine in Etobicoke crosses an international border, which changes the trip in ways no mileage figure captures.
None of these factors is knowable from a coordinate pair alone, which is why this article does not estimate road distance. The reader who needs that figure must measure it from their own starting point using a routing tool that accepts two addresses.
Where Duluth sits and what that means for the search
Duluth, Minnesota is in the northeastern part of the state, on the western shore of Lake Superior. Its coordinate places it north and west of most of the documented venues in the table. The closest documented venue, Crystal Shores Casino, lies to the southeast in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Rockford, Illinois, lies to the south-southeast. Warhorse Casino in Omaha, Nebraska, lies to the southwest. 4 Bears Casino & Lodge in New Town, North Dakota, lies to the west-northwest. Casino Woodbine in Etobicoke lies to the east, across Lake Superior and into Ontario.
This spread means there is no single direction a reader should think of as "toward the casinos." The documented venues fan out across four states and one Canadian province, and the nearest is more than three hundred straight-line miles away. A reader in Duluth, Minnesota, asking where to play bingo is asking a question whose answer depends entirely on which direction they are willing to travel and what the road network offers in that direction.
About the venues named in the table
Each venue in the table is documented only by its name, its coordinate, and in some cases its city, state, street, operator, and website. No room counts, floor area, machine or table counts, prices, resort fees, or opening hours are documented for any of them in this article's reference material, so none are stated here.
Crystal Shores Casino is documented as lying on Hoadley Road in Benzonia, Michigan, with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians listed as operator. Rockford Casino is documented on North Bell School Road in Rockford, Illinois, with a caution that the name matches more than one mapped venue and the city must be used to distinguish them. Warhorse Casino is documented on Q Street in Omaha, Nebraska, also with a name-match caution. 4 Bears Casino & Lodge is documented on Frontage Road in New Town, North Dakota. Casino Woodbine is documented on Rexdale Boulevard in Etobicoke.
These are physical locations, not bingo schedules. Whether any of them offers bingo on a given day is a live operational question, and this article does not answer it.
What to confirm before you go
Several things change between the moment this article is written and the moment a reader travels. None of them is documented here, and each has a specific channel where the current answer lives.
- Whether a venue offers bingo at all. Bingo availability is a property-level decision. Confirm it on the venue's own website or by calling the property's guest services line.
- Session times and days. Bingo sessions are scheduled, not continuous. The venue's published schedule is the only reliable source.
- Admission and card pricing. These vary by session, day, and property. The venue's box office or bingo page carries the current figures.
- Minimum age and entry requirements. These are set by the venue and by the jurisdiction. Confirm both before traveling.
- Your own route and road distance. This article gives straight-line figures only. Use a routing tool with your actual starting address to get road mileage and travel time.
How to measure from your own position
The reader's starting point is the one variable this article cannot know. If the question is "from me," the method is the same regardless of where "me" is: take the documented coordinate of the venue, take your own coordinate or address, and measure the great-circle distance between them with any mapping tool. The result will be a straight-line figure comparable to the ones in the table above.
For road distance, the tool must use road-network routing, not a straight line. Enter your address and the venue's documented street and city. The tool will return a road distance and a travel time, both of which will be larger than the straight-line figure.
The venue's position is fixed. The reader's position is not. Any article that answers "near me" without knowing where "me" is can only describe the fixed side of the equation and hand the reader the method for the moving side.
FAQ
Does this article say where to play bingo in Duluth, Georgia?
No. The coordinate that resolves for the query is Duluth, Minnesota, and the article works from that fixed point. No venue in Duluth, Georgia, is documented in this article's reference material, so no claim is made about bingo there. A reader in Georgia should search for venues documented in that state and confirm bingo availability directly with each property.
What is the nearest documented casino to Duluth, Minnesota?
Crystal Shores Casino in Benzonia, Michigan, is documented at 327.3 straight-line miles from the Duluth coordinate. That is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance. The actual drive is longer, and this article does not estimate by how much. Whether Crystal Shores offers bingo is a separate question answered only by the property itself.
Why does the article not give driving time to any of these venues?
Because no driving time is documented in this article's reference material, and driving time depends on route, traffic, weather, border crossings, and the reader's exact starting point. A straight-line coordinate pair cannot produce a driving time. The reader must use a routing tool with their own address to get that figure.
