Are You Ready to Play Bingo?
Bingo! Bingo!! Bingo!!! Bingo!!!! Perhaps, this is the most uttered word, you could hear when you pass the social hall or when there is any fund raising event in your school or community. If you want to accumulate funds easily to support a project or program organize a Bingo event.
Bingo is a number calling and number waiting game. In order to win in this kind of game, all we need to do is to listen attentively to the bingo host for every drawn out number. We need to mark down all the numbers called especially those that form the required pattern. Isn't that simple to play bingo?
Probably here are some of the queries that catch your attention?
First, is bingo a legal? In most parts of the world, "Yes" bingo is legal. It is because bingo is organized mainly to earn funds for a worthy project such as improvement of a school facility or repainting of pedestrian lanes. Furthermore, most bingo events happen only once or twice a month or annually.
Second, where to buy a bingo card? Bingo cards are sold and distributed by the organizers themselves. Usually a bingo card has a validity date, control number and an authorized signature. This is to ensure that when that card owner shouts "B I N G O !" he is qualified to take home the prize.
Furthermore, there are also commercialized bingo centers like in Las Vegas wherein bingo has become an alternative for most poker or blackjack players. In the Philippines, bingo halls have become a part of most shopping complex or malls such as SM Shoemart, Ayala Malls, Robinsons' and Ever Gotesco Malls four of the largest shopping malls in the said country. In such places, bingo operates virtually every time.
How much is a bingo ticket? Well, again it depends on the bingo organizers. There are some tickets worth $ 50 for three games. Others are worth $ 10 for ten or more games or until the jackpot has not yet won.
Third, what will happen if we didn't shout Bingo because we find it awkward to yell? Then we waited for someone else to shout before we do the same? Well, to you honestly it is not embarrassing to shout bingo if you already formed the pattern. However, if you really don't want to shout, you should probably call the attendant or the host himself so that no more numbers will be drawn out.
In event you waited for someone else to shout, we doubt if the organizer will divide the prize between the two of you. Let us just hope that organizer will do divide or give you exactly the same prize.
One more thing what is more enjoyable in bingo, is that you make friends with your co-bingo players. Have Fun!
