UK bingo: Enjoy a great night out, in!
UK bingo: Enjoy a great night out, in!
For years bingo was seen as a game played by old ladies waving huge pens in cavernous rooms, with numbers being called by shiny suited, slick haired men using expressions to liven up the event that made little sense but entered into the national consciousness… legs eleven… key to the door… Kelly's eye (no, I never understood that one either!) It was dying a slow death, with bingo halls closing down all over the country, until some clever marketing dude decided to wave a lot of money at it and create big prize winning opportunities mixed with the idea that it was a great 'girls' night out'.
As the clubs began to fill with giggling women after a good time, the next obvious stage was taking it online. Online bingo was at first run the exact same way as it was run in the clubs, you had to pay to play, but then things got interesting, with no deposit bingo becoming widely available.
For anybody who's not yet taken the plunge, you're seriously missing out!
Free online bingo attracts many thousands of players every day, and as it's available 24/7, you can enjoy it when it suits you, not when it suits the local bingo hall!
It's incredibly easy to get started, just choose which bingo game you'd like to play, register your details and off you go. It's a great way to relax after a busy day, having a bit of fun and maybe winning a few pounds too!
When you go online the first time, you might be surprised to see that there are all sorts of games you can play, not just bingo. Have fun with video poker, scratchcards or even network bingo where you can chat with other players, adding a whole new, fun, dimension to the game.
Still a little nervous? You needn't be, online bingo is simple to play, easy to follow and you're in charge... no friends egging you on to pay out and play, no pressure to keep going when you've had enough, and perhaps best of all - no need to spend hours getting dressed up! You can play in your pyjamas if it pleases you! UK bingo online makes you the boss - which, let's face it, doesn't happen every day!
Serious players can win big money, you know. How would you spend £5,000, or £10,000? What about a Caribbean cruise? A new car? The best Christmas ever? Although, whether you win £10 or £1,000, the buzz is the same! Just think, you could be sitting at home in your pyjamas (what else?!) one day, and the next perusing the shelves in your local travel agent. It happens every day, and as someone's going to win, why shouldn't it be you?
Best of all, it's dead easy to play. It must be, who'd spend precious leisure time working their way through something difficult to follow and hard to win?
Bingoliner.co.uk runs a great game where you enter a virtual bingo hall, choose a table and take a seat. You're playing against everybody else in that room. Bingo cards have random numbers ranging from one to 75 or one to 90. Numbers are called from a pool of 75 (or 90) and balls and are marked off on a card if they match. The winner is the first player whose card has all the matching balls marked off in a predefined pattern. What? Pre-defined pattern? What's all that about? All this means is that before a game starts players are told what shape the winning pattern must be, it can be anything from a single line to something more complex.
Once the game has begun you can watch as the numbers are automatically called and marked off on your cards. The computer will call out in random order all 75 bingo balls. If your card contains the called number then that number is marked off. If the marked off numbers match the winning pattern, then the player wins the game. And leaps up, runs around the room punching their fists in the air, does the 'go me' victory dance and collapses in a heap full of beans and ready to play again. That's the real you by the way, not the online you.
The chat option means that you can talk to friends during the game, unlike in a traditional bingo hall, where deadly silence is the order of the day. This also gives you the chance to arrange a girls' night out, in. Well, they say staying in is the new going out, but it's not often you can all stay in and yet all be out, if you get my drift! Forget baby-sitting hassles, now you can stay home with the little darlings, but not miss out on all the fun! You'll also find that it's far easier to chat with someone you've never met before than it is when standing in a bar clutching a drink and desperately hoping you'll find something in common. Online bingo is your starter for ten of course, swiftly followed by exchanging winning stories and hopefully finished with a shout of joy as you win the game!
Why not set up an online night out (in?) with your friends? There's no need to restrict your fun to a weekend, after all, you can pick a day and time to suit everybody; there must be at least one occasion when all of you can meet up online in a 24/7 set-up like this!
There really doesn't seem to be any downside to online bingo. You can start playing for free, chat as you play, choose from loads of different games and it's there whenever (and wherever) you fancy some fun. You could even invite your other half to join you, if you like that sort of thing!
