New world record set in California Speedway by San Manuel:

February proved to be an interesting one in Inland Empire with San Manuel of Indian Bingo and Casino and California Speedway introducing bingo to thousands of motor sports enthusiasts, and thus helping San Manuel reclaim its world title of ‘Largest Bingo House”.

It was in July of 2006 that San Manuel was first called the ‘Largest Bingo House’ when it broke the Guinness World Record with 53,000 participants playing bingo, and making Inland Empire world famous.

Steve Lengel, the executive director for operations in San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino said that those at San Manuel are always working on doing something special. This is why they combined one of the largest bingo houses in the country with the biggest racing organization in motor sports, to create something big in bingo.

About 100,000 people had attended the event at Auto Club 500 at California Speedway to make this record attempt. With so many people here, the speedway here was converted into a temporary, open air bingo hall where everyone had a bingo card to play.

Winning participants were awarded cash prizes where winning cards were entered into a random draw. The three lucky winners received cash prizes of $10,000, $6,000 and $4,000. And to make things official, a representative from the Guinness World Records was on hand to recognize this record.
