4 Crucial Tips to Increase Your Bingo Chances

Bingo Basics

Get Ready Early

This one is pretty obvious and applies to any form of bingo. It isn’t a solid concrete theory, but being ready & on your toes (not literally) when the first number (or ball) is drawn will ensure to maximise your game performance. Athletes get to events early so they have plenty of time to prepare to perform to the best of their ability. While bingo isn’t a physical nor professional sport, arriving early enough so you can buy the correct books, catch up with pals, set yourself up on a comfy table, lay out your lucky charms and buy any drinks and snacks you’ll need will ensure you are ready to go. Rushing in and throwing your belongings on the table as the first number is called is no way to prepare. It all comes down to the old saying “fail to prepare, prepare to fail”. (more…)

Bingo: A very packed house

Bingo Basics

The growth of the online bingo market is currently showing no signs of easing, with new sites opening on what seems to be a weekly basis.

It was predicted that the introduction of the new Point of Consumption tax back in December 2014 would trigger a slow down in the rate of market growth. The reasons for this assumption were that smaller brands would find it very difficult to remain profitable after the new 15% tax had been levied. (more…)

90 Ball Bingo

Bingo Basics

90-Ball Bingo is the most common version of bingo found in the UK, Australia and some parts of Europe. As opposed to the traditional American version of 75-Ball Bingo, 90-Ball Bingo is played with 90 balls and bingo tickets, rather than cards.

A 90-Ball Bingo ticket has 9 columns and 3 rows. Players will buy one sheet of six tickets, containing 90 numbers. While each row contains nine squares, only 5 of the squares are numbered with the remaining four left blank. Numbers range from 1 to 90, with all 90 numbers on each sheet of tickets. Therefore, every time a number is called, the player will be daubing that number on one of his or her tickets. (more…)

Should You Invest in Blackout Bingo for Real Money

Bingo Basics

Playing bingo is a great way to pass the time, but there’s a little bit of strategy involved if you want to play for real money. One of the toughest decisions that you’ll need to make is which rooms to play in, because every room has a different pattern. One of the top patterns to play is the blackout pattern. Does that mean that you should give up all other rooms and do nothing but play blackout bingo? Not at all. There are reasons why you’re going to want to spread out your bankroll, but let’s tackle blackout bingo first.

As the name suggests, you only get to call bingo when you’ve marked out every single number on the card. If you haven’t done that, then it’s considered a bad bingo. By the way, if you get too many bad bingos in one room, they disqualify you and you can’t play there for a few rounds. That would be a huge waste of your money, so make sure that you avoid that as much as possible. (more…)

History Of Bingo

Bingo Basics

The game of Bingo has a rather intriguing history, dating back to 16th century Italy, where it was first introduced as “Lo Giuoco Del Lotto d’Italia”. Though not exactly the same, the similarities are certainly profound enough to be considered the origins of Bingo, as we know it today. In fact, Lo Giuoco Del Lotto d’Italia is still played on a regular basis in Italy.

As far as the modern version of Bingo, particularly the traditional North American version of 75-Ball Bingo, we have to go all the way back to 1929, to a traveling carnival that set up show just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Attending this carnival was a New York businessman by the name of Edwin Lowe. Edwin was a toy manufacturer who always kept his eye open for new ideas. (more…)
