Online Bingo For Beginners.

If you never played bingo before, you don't need to drag yourelf out of the house on a cold unfriendly evening down to the local bingo hall. All you need is a pc and a broadband connection. If you've got a laptop, even better, you can play from the comfort of your sofa, or the kitchen table.

Traditional Land Based Bingo.

Most of us know what bingo is about but, just in case you don't, first lets have a look at how it's played in the bingo halls. Firstly you are given a sheet with a series of numbers on it between 1 and 90 (15 numbers on each strip or game). As a number is called out by a bingo caller, you quickly cross off the number called if it is on your sheet. As soon as a line of numbers has been crossed out on you sheet, very quickly, before anyone else you shout "bingo" or "house".

Then, someone comes to check your line, and if they agree that all the numbers have been called, then you get the prize. That is one line of the strip, but there is still a prize left for the whole strip, i.e. all the numbers on a strip being crossed out. Again, if your numbers are all crossed out, you have to shout "house" or "bingo" before anyone else, and you get the prize.

Online Bingo.

Online bingo is different, as firstly, your bingo strip is automatically marked for you, and if you've never done it in a bingo hall before, we've got to say this is a bit of a relief, as some people can't keep up with marking their cards manually - so in this way, bingo online is a lot easier. So its a bit more relaxing in that sense. And you don't have to shout 'bingo' either.

Some people think online bingo is less social than going down to your local bingo hall. However in some ways playing online is more social. When playing bingo online you can chat online with other bingo players while the numbers are being called which you can't do in a bingo hall.

In fact, if you tried to chat in a bingo hall while numbers are being called, you would be subject to some very stern looks, and maybe worse! All in all, online bingo is just as social, and a lot easier, and is a great cheap way to have a bit of fun, and win some cash. Not sure which bingo site to start with? Have a look at Foxy Bingo.
