This may not come as the world’s biggest surprise but online Bingo is. the game of Bingo, played on-line!
For the uninitiated, Bingo was a game that, according to popular belief, sprung up in the States in the late 20′s, and was called “Beano” because beans were used to cover up numbers on cards. Each card had numbers printed or written on them, between 1 and 75, and the organiser pulled out numbered discs or pieces of paper from a bag or box and read out the number. Upon having all the numbers on your card filled with beans (or sometimes just one row) you yelled “Beano” and won the prize. It was very popular between the wars in the UK , where 90 numbers were used, and had their heyday in the 50′s and 60′s where Bingo Halls sprung up in many places in England .
Simple isn’t it? Except the on-line version makes things even easier for you! There was always a chance when playing Bingo “live”, that you may be distracted when listening out for the next number, or your eyes miss the number on your card in the sometimes dimmed, hushed and church-like surroundings of the Bingo Hall.
That’s not going to happen on-line, because you’ll never miss a number; all on-line sites have a feature whereby the cards you have purchased will have their numbers marked automatically, and your win will be also be logged automatically.
There are many on-line sites to choose from, most with welcome packages and loyalty bonuses to keep you with them, and initial outlays to suit every pocket. Some have free trial games to get you in the mood and persuade you how easy it is, and then add any winnings to your account if you join.
With all this encouragement, you’ve got to have a will of iron to turn away from on-line Bingo!
