Bingo is not considered gambling in Ohio, but the game can be considered a form of amusement. There are no legal bingo halls in the state, so players must go to illegal halls to play the game. Ohio law does not classify bingo as a form of gambling, but it is still considered an illegal activity. Players who are caught playing bingo at an illegal hall can be charged with a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

If convicted, they could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. In addition, players who are found to be participating in bingo for financial gain could be charged with a felony and face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
