When you stop to think about it, we are living through some remarkable times. The developments in communication technology are moving so fast it is difficult to keep on top of them, and they are all for the good. One of the most amazing developments is in the field of Smartphones and pads alongside Wi-Fi technology. Who would believe that you can now play bingo anywhere you are and have lots of fun at the same time?
Bingo has been around for hundreds of years, starting as a children's board game whose potential was soon discovered by adults. While children can be easily amused adults usually always need an element of financial game for any game to capture their imagination and bingo was no exception. Where bingo caught on was when some smart businessman figured out that the more people you can gather in the same room playing bingo the larger the prizes and the bigger their cut.
After World War Two there were bingo halls springing up all over the UK with tens of thousands congregating every night of the week as well as several afternoons to play bingo and get a share of the fairly substantial prizes that were there to be won.
Bingo differs from most casino games in that the players are playing against each other with the first player to fill the card winning the prizes, the bingo hall owners could only charge an entry fee and a percentage each card purchased. Soon they began to realise that to operate a bingo hall cost a lot of money, and they just weren't making enough. So as fast as they opened bingo halls began to close their doors till there were very few left, and just in the major cities.
That looked like the end of bingo till the glorious days of the online gaming revolution began. At first bingo lovers could only play in their own homes, which no one was really complaining about. The players were happy, the online bingo rooms were happy because their costs were a lot lower and there were a lot more players covering them. It was a real win-win situation. What has made it better is the development of these new mobile technologies that a bingo lover can play not just whenever they want and but wherever they may be.
That opens doors for a whole new list of exciting possibilities. Bingo at the bus stop, bingo in the dentist's waiting room, at the train station. The possibilities are endless!
