Susan and John Hill have been the proud owners and operators of the Fountain Gate Bingo (FGB) Centre for the past 28 years.
Venue Manager James Rooney explained that Susan started bingo fundraising at Springvale City Soccer Club in 1982 to assist her son and all playing at the club.
“Having the experience of conducting bingo, Susan and John found that Bingo sessions were a fantastic way of fundraising for their clubs as a social and entertaining night out,” James said.
“On Saturday 15 December 1990 they started the FGB and have seen many changes in legislation, the operation of bingo and the introduction of Electronic Bingo, which has been a vital factor in keeping bingo in the forefront of modern gambling.
“Susan and John are proud of what they have achieved at the FGB Centre, employing up to 30 of the most professional and competent staff in minor gaming (bingo) in the Melbourne metro area.”
Fountain Gate Bingo is one of Victoria’s leading bingo centres offering over $125,000 in prize money every week.
“For as little as $10 you can spend up to four hours and win as much as $10,000 in one game of bingo,” James said.
“Fully catered and air-conditioned for your comfort, bingo at Fountain Gate is the most social form of gambling and is the best value for money.”
By law, bingo in Victoria must be played on behalf of a sporting club or community organisation. Fountain Gate Bingo raises funds for 10 sporting clubs within the City of Casey including the Doveton Eagles Football Club, Langwarrin Soccer Club and Narre Warren Junior Football Club.
Fountain Gate Bingo is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 3pm, Saturday 10am to 11pm and Sunday to Friday 6pm to 11pm. For more information, phone 9796 7011, email info@fountaingatebingo.com.au or visit www.fountaingatebingo.com.au.
