Thank God for bingo which, pun aside, said to have been first played publicly in the confines of a church, in Italy sometime in the 1930s. And, again, at a church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the first bingo game to raise money was played. Since then, bingo earned a popular following which, at one point, a record 60,000 players gathered for the largest bingo game in history, in New York’s Teaneck Armory.
With no complicated rules to learn, strategies to follow or an opponent to elbow with, easily, bingo became one of the most popular games in the world. You only need to know your rows and columns; your straight, diagonal, cross, diamond, four-corners, and so on…and your letters B – I – N – G – O!
Today, with bingo games flashing their invites on the Internet and played in millions of homes everywhere in the whole wide world, it is certain by now that bingo is here to stay and will keep going for as long people into the game.
Bingo online is a chance for players anywhere in the world to play the game. And while enjoying bingo, players chat together. Online bingo promises fun, friends, and excitement. In fact, the main purpose for engaging in bingo on the Internet is enjoyment and winning cash comes in fourth. Look for sites which give free bingo trial before you need to make your first deposit. Most online bingo sites now offer a “free-bingo-no deposit” sign up bonus.
A tour of bingo sites will take you to free chat games, bingo game variations, and super jackpot thrills. We bet we all like the latter. The challenge can be overwhelming: 1,474,200 — or so — matchless bingo cards! That should get everyone keyed up about this exciting online game.
Fascinatingly, women are said to enjoy playing bingo more, where, according to a recent study from Poker Players Research, over 70% of bingo players are women. Apparently, our mothers, aunts and sisters are becoming the new winning force in online gaming. That’s a lot of female power and loud “Bingo!” shrieks to deal with.
Now, how does your “Bingo!” yell sound?
