19-Sep-06. Another bingo bites the dust. Edmonton Sun, 9.

Edmonton's Crest Bingo, which ran out of the Beverly Crest Motor Inn at 3414-118 Ave., closed its doors on Sunday night. A volunteer worker at the hall said that Crest Bingo was not drawing enough players to continue operating. In the past four years, four Edmonton bingos and one St. Albert bingo have closed down. A former employee of Crest believes the closings are a result of Edmonton's smoking ban.
