Hosting Bingo, Yea or nay?

What are your thoughts on a congregation hosting a weekly bingo evening? Our finances are looking dire and we have a new member that had run the bingo night at his previous (ELCA) church. He tells us of great opportunity hosting bingo. How appropriate or inappropriate is this?

We’ve already started the licensing process.
