The venues will be reopening from Saturday, July 4, after the government lifted coronavirus restrictions.
But as well as the rules of the game, participants will have to follow social distancing rules and use hand sanitisers.
Extra cleaning of items used during the games, as well as tables and chairs, will be carried out by staff who will wear personal protective equipment including masks.
There will also be reduced numbers at games, new booking systems and people will be encouraged to pay through contactless technololgy.
One of the 35 Mecca Bingo halls reopening on Saturday will be the venue on Aylsham Road in Norwich.
Gaming company, Praesepe, is reopening its Beacon Bingo venue in Lowestoft on Monday, July 6.
