About online bingo and bingo games

Online bingo has stepped in and grabbed the attention of bingo players all over the world. It not only picked up a flagging offline game and brought it to the internet but it has attracted a whole new following among the younger crowd. The over-65 crowd still prefers offline bingo, but online bingo is bringing in a lot of younger players. Almost one-third of the online players are between 18 and 34. In case you think this is not a large number, consider that there are 100 million online bingo players and half of these people play bingo every day.

There are different types of online bingo games but the most common is the 75-ball version. However you can probably find any variation that suits your fancy if you look around. One of the good things about playing online is that you can use the auto dabber, or dauber, if you like. This helps relieve some of the stress of wondering if you missed a number.

If you’re wondering how to play bingo online, don’t worry. Each site typically has an online tutorial just in case you have never played bingo before in your life. If you have been playing for a long time, you can still check out the tutorial to see if there are any different suggestions for that particular site. The rules are pretty standard an online; the main difference is that instead of having a caller, you have a random number generator. Your cards look like any bingo cards, the only difference being that the card is on your computer screen instead of being a paper card on the table in front of you.

If you already have bingo strategies, you can take them to your online game. If winning is your goal, then bear in mind that the more you play, the more you will win. Statistics show that the longer you are in a game, the better chance you have of winning. The lesson here is that rather than betting on one game you are better off to play smaller amounts in several games. Another good strategy is to play when there are fewer people on the site. The fewer the players, the better the chance you have of winning. And of course don’t forget, the more cards you play, the more chances of winning you have.

There are a surprising number of bingo games. If you have played in off-line bingo halls, you probably have only seen a few variations of the games. Online you will find that the countries have different styles. For instance in England, 90 ball bingo is quite popular while in the United States, you are more apt to find 75 ball bingo. Different sites have their own special versions of games as well such as alphabet soup. As a side note about 90 ball bingo, this version, which is played with tickets rather than cards, is closer to the original version of bingo that has been around since the 1500s.

Bingo with the cards that we see today did not emerge on till 1930 when an enterprising toy salesman saw a game called Beano being played. Edwin Lowe got a brilliant mathematician to come up with 6000 different number combinations for the bingo cards. This made bingo a perfect fundraising game for churches and other organizations all over the United States. As a side note that is kind of interesting, the name bingo appeared in the 1930s when an excited player realized she won and in her excitement when she tried to call have beano, she said bingo. The name stuck.

Online bingo halls emerged in the early 1990s. This is pretty amazing for a game that began in Italy in 1530. Bingo didn’t really take hold in the United States until 1930 but when it did, it blossomed very rapidly. Its popularity was just beginning to fade when in the mid-1990s the online bingo halls appeared. In the past 15 years, online bingo has become one of the most popular games in the world. With the constant advancements in technology, bingo is only going to become more popular in the online world.

There is a lot of discussion in the chat rooms and forums devoted to bingo about which are the best online bingo halls.  Bingo players want to have a good time but they also need to feel a sense of security in sharing their information, both personal and financial. The good thing about the Internet is that it doesn’t take long for scamsters to be found out. Word-of-mouth is a very powerful opponent against anyone who tries to take advantage of game players online. Aside from security, the other thing people look for when they check out the best online bingo halls is the stability of the site. If the site is always going down and players are getting booted, they won’t come back to often.

Even though bingo involves a lot of block, there are some bingo tips and tricks that will increase your chances of winning. Some of the strategies mentioned above really do make a difference and these should be part of the tips and tricks that you use. It is better to play several small pot games rather than one large pot game because you increase your chances of winning. When you think of this, you realize that you make more money winning a small pot then you do losing a big pot.

It is also good idea to be at your sharpest when you play. Make sure there are few distractions around you and if there are a lot of distractions, wear a noise canceling headset. Be well rested. The better your focus, the sharper you will be when making your game choices such as how many cards to play.

If you’re looking for new site, start by looking for sites that offer a no deposit bingo bonus.  At these sites you are given money to play just because you registered at the site. A no deposit bingo bonus is a great incentive, particularly if you’re new to the game. You can play the game without putting up any of your own cash and learn how that site functions.
