Online Bingo Is Here To Stay
Bingo is a game that is both land-based and online. Online bingo is a multi billion dollar business. Compared to other online games, it is easy to play which makes it cherished and loved. Another reason for its popularity is that online bingo comes with a chat function which enables players to develop a sense of interaction among players. Successful Bingo sites would ensure that a system is in place through which this sense of community and interaction is built and fostered. The chat functionality coupled with the higher odds of winning makes it more fun than lottery and at the same time increases player retention. Players would typically congratulate a winner and exchange friendly gestures using Bingo's own set of terminologies like, WTG for 'way to go'.
Playing online Bingo is pretty easy. All a player need to do is to down load the software (usually free) or some Bingo sites would use a flash or Java based application which allows the player to start playing immediately after signing up with a player contract. The software generates the Bingo cards using a random number generating tool (the same tool is also used for the draw of the Bingo numbers). This random number generating tool, obviously, ensures that each player has an equal chance of winning the Bingo. The bingo numbers would appear on the screen and, if there is a match, the players mark off the numbers in their bingo card until a certain pattern is completed.
Unlike land-based Bingo, online bingo encourages players to chat amongst each other and the CM or "chat monitor" plays an important role in achieving that through chat games like, Roulette, Birthday Bingo, At the Races, Lucky Gem, and Bullseye, Dodge ball and Keno.
Statistics show that 90% of Bingo players are blow the age of 50 which shows that Bingo is not a game that is played only by the old. Bingo advertising particularly targets women in the age bracket of 35-54 because 85% of bingo players are women within this age group. Online Bingo is particularly popular in Japan and the US leaving behind the UK where only 1% of land-based bingo players have made the shift to online Bingo.
If you plan on playing online bingo anytime soon then keep these quick pointers in mind - In order to up the chances of winning; play multiple bingo cards and choose games in which the number of players are the least. This should up your odds and give you that edge which hopefully may make you go BINGO!
