The name points to a person or title, not a documented venue
The query "who is the bingo king in san antonio tx" asks for an individual, a brand, or a venue that is not present in the documented venue set supplied for this article. No venue row, owner field, or alias in the reference data matches the phrase "bingo king," and no person by that title is documented. The article therefore cannot name a person, a hall, or an operator attached to that phrase.
What the article can do is fix the geography that any such venue would occupy. San Antonio is a fixed point at coordinates 29.425 latitude and -98.4939 longitude. Any bingo hall, casino, or event space in the city sits inside that fixed frame, and the distances below are measured from that frame to the nearest documented casino venues in the reference set.
This is not a statement that no bingo operation exists in San Antonio. It is a statement that the supplied reference data contains no entry for one under that name, and that the reader should treat the phrase as unverified until it is matched against a local business directory or the appropriate state and local licensing records.
The fixed position and the nearest documented venues
San Antonio sits in south-central Texas, southwest of the state's eastern border with Louisiana and north of the Texas Gulf Coast. The coordinates place it west of the cluster of documented casino venues in Louisiana's Lake Charles and Shreveport areas, and south of the documented tribal casino venues in Oklahoma.
The reference set documents 318 venues measured to San Antonio. That is a count of entries in this file, not a census of every casino or bingo venue in or near the city. A complete current list of licensed gaming or bingo operations would come from the Texas Lottery Commission or the relevant local licensing authority, not from this article.
Because "bingo king" is not a documented venue, no facility-specific figures such as room counts, machine counts, or floor area can be stated for it. The nearest documented venues are shown with their straight-line distances from San Antonio's coordinates.

|---|---|---|
| WinStar World Casino, Thackerville, Oklahoma | 309.9 | great-circle |
| Golden Nugget Lake Charles, Louisiana | 318.1 | great-circle |
| L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles, Louisiana | 318.4 | great-circle |
| Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, Oklahoma | 335.8 | great-circle |
| Bally's Shreveport, Louisiana | 353.2 | great-circle |
| Margaritaville, Louisiana | 353.4 | great-circle |
| Bossier City venue, Louisiana | 353.5 | great-circle |
| Comanche Nation venue, Oklahoma | 357.9 | great-circle |
| Apache venue, Oklahoma | 358.2 | great-circle |
| Goldsby venue, Oklahoma | 401.5 | great-circle |
Every figure above is a straight-line, great-circle measurement. It is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate pairs. It is not a road distance, and it is not a travel time.
Why road distance is always longer
Straight-line distance ignores the actual path a vehicle must take. A driver leaving San Antonio toward any of the documented venues above does not travel in a direct line. The road network follows highways that bend around terrain, cross rivers, and connect population centers rather than cutting across open land.
Three forces widen the gap between straight-line and driven distance. First, water: the Louisiana venues sit near the Calcasieu River and the Gulf-adjacent lowlands, and any route must cross bridges at fixed points. Second, topography: the Balcones Escarpment west of San Antonio and the rolling terrain of central Texas force routes into corridors. Third, the state line itself: routes from San Antonio to Oklahoma venues must pass through the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex or along the Red River corridor, adding length that a straight line does not capture.
This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, flight time, or transit time for any pair. Those figures change with route choice, construction, traffic, and mode, and none are present in the supplied reference data. A reader who needs a driving distance should measure it in a mapping tool using the venue's documented city and state and the reader's own starting address.
What the phrase "bingo king" can and cannot resolve
The phrase itself is ambiguous. It could refer to a person, a business name, a promotional title, or a nickname for a large bingo hall. None of those readings is disambiguated by the reference data, and the article will not guess which one the reader intended.
A bingo hall in Texas operates under a different regulatory structure than a casino in Oklahoma or Louisiana. Texas does not permit the same class of casino gaming that the documented Oklahoma and Louisiana venues offer, and bingo is typically governed by charitable bingo statutes and local licensing rather than by a casino gaming commission. The reader should not assume that a "bingo king" venue in San Antonio would resemble the documented casino properties in the distance table.
If the reader is looking for a specific hall, the authoritative channels are the Texas Lottery Commission's bingo division, the City of San Antonio's licensing records, and the venue's own published contact page. This article does not reproduce addresses, phone numbers, or URLs for any venue.
How to measure from your own position
The venue's position is fixed; the reader's position is not. If the query contains "me," "here," or "my location," no starting coordinate exists in the reference data, and the article cannot compute a distance from an unknown point.
The correct method is to take the venue's documented city and state, or its coordinates if the reader has them, and compare them against the reader's own coordinates or address in a mapping tool. The reader's device can supply a current location, and the tool will compute the road distance and time.
For the documented venues above, the reader can use the city and state listed in the table. For a San Antonio bingo hall not in this reference set, the reader must first confirm the venue's exact street address through the licensing or directory channel, then measure from that address rather than from the city centroid.
What to confirm before you go
Several facts in this article are fixed, and several are not. The coordinates of San Antonio and the straight-line distances to documented venues are fixed by the reference data. The identity and address of any "bingo king" venue are not fixed here and must be confirmed elsewhere.
Before traveling to any bingo hall or casino, confirm the venue's current operating status, its street address, its hours, and its admission or session structure through the venue's own published channels. Bingo sessions, hall closures, and licensing status change, and this article does not carry current operational detail for any property.
For the documented casino venues in the table, confirm the property's current name and ownership before relying on the distance. Casino properties are sold and rebranded, and the reference data reflects a documented point in time rather than a live directory.
FAQ
Does this article identify the bingo king in San Antonio?
No. The phrase does not match any documented venue, owner, or alias in the supplied reference set, and no person by that title is documented. The article can only fix the geography around San Antonio and list the nearest documented casino venues. A reader seeking a specific bingo hall or operator should check local licensing records and business directories.
How far is the nearest documented casino from San Antonio?
The nearest documented venue in the reference set is WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, at 309.9 straight-line miles from San Antonio's coordinates. That is a great-circle measurement, not a road distance. The actual driving distance is longer and is not published in this article.
Why are there no prices, hours, or facility counts for a bingo venue here?
Because no venue matching "bingo king" exists in the reference data, no facility-specific figures can be stated. The article does not invent prices, hours, room counts, or machine counts. The reader should obtain current operational details from the venue's own published channels or from the relevant Texas licensing authority.
