Bingo – Best Played Online or Bingo Halls
Bingo is one of those games that you cannot quite categorise accurately. It is not a serious gambling game because the stakes are just too low. It does not fit into the category of pastime games such as scrabble or monopoly because you do with win real cash at Bingo, at least when played at bingo hall or online.
The online aspect of Bingo, like many things associated with the Internet is relatively new. Though its new its is increasing in popularity at an exponential rate with the online bingo trying harder than its offline counterpart to give players excitement and fun. Some of the best online bingo are provided not by enthusiast who play the game for fun but by gaming companies who invent significant sums of money into the game to transform it from a game played by old ladies at seaside resort town to a modern dynamic and exciting online games.
Though online bingo is gaining grounds, the online version rather than take business away from the traditional bingo seem to be enhancing it with report that more traditional players of the game still go to bingo hall and also play online.
The traditional bingo is a great way to socialise as friends, usually older ladies tends to make a night out out of bingo. But like many things in life, anything with advantages tends to have its disadvantages. While traditional bingo is a great way to socialise and meet up with friends, it can also be a way of losing friend.
A case in point is the reported falling out of two long-standing bingo buddies, Muriel Harrison and her bingo partner Sandra Fowler-McAllister. The two ladies ended up in court after Sandra Fowler-McAllister refused to share a winning of £10,000 50-50 with Muriel Harrison.
Ms Sandra Fowler-McAllister did offer her long time bingo friend 20% of the winnings but Ms Harrison said they had an agreement that their winning should be split in half. The case was dismissed as the friends never had a written agreement. A situation like this in highly unlikely to happen if you play online bingo.
Number calling
One of the things that significantly differentiates bingo halls from online bingos is the number calling. Not only has a lot of humour been introduced into the number calling but it has become an art that can be made to sound like poetry or prose with funny names being given to numbers for example fat ladies for 888 and other witty substitutes for real numbers. But you need to pay close attention as the numbers are usually called very quickly.
