Ten Comandments Of Bingo

For decades, spunky senior citizens from all over the nation have converged in local church halls, community halls and even in dingy basements in search of a dignified way to spend their days and dollars. They seek refuge from the cruelties of the fast paced modern world within the safe haven of their hallowed Bingo halls. In large and profitable numbers, they venture into the streets to get their social fix every week, as they have for the last thirty something years or more. Because we have been knocked over more than once by old ladies anxious not to miss their next game, we smile and let them pass quickly on their way- handbag and umbrella firmly tucked away under each arm and hanging on for dear life, linked safely to their wonderful niece or nephew, that graciously escorts them to their destination.

There’s some big news for Bingo fans because no longer are only little old ladies sporting silver manicured hairstyles, the key players in the game- but it looks as though everyone’s decided to jump on the BINGO van. That’s bingo fans driving the popular age old game to new heights- not bongovans! Don't laugh, it is a fun game, and it is something to do. And it appears that everyday more people are logging in to play a game of online bingo or two, or three or…You see, after a hard day at work it’s the hippest, newest and coolest way to try to find something to do with friends, relax for a bit and unwind. Bingo is the latest chillout zone for teenagers, young executives, mums, dads and grandparents as well as lots of other people that are checking out the glitzy graphics and glockenspiel kaleidoscopes of online bingo.

So what do the hapless nineteen-year-old stuck in the suburbs, the harrowed mum with triplets playing at her feet and the nervous school librarian have in common? The answer is bingo. It's relaxing; it's relatively inexpensive and best of all a lot of fun. So now whenever you and your friends are looking for something to do, try a game of online or traditional bingo.

I know what you're thinking: "Aren't you a bit young to be playing bingo?" Well yes, it is true that the vast majority of the people there are old ladies above the age of sixty. But the old ladies are always happy to see a few young faces, just as long as you don't win. And don’t go worrying if you’re new to the game and nervous that if you ever do win you will get tongue tied and too excited and mess up shouting BINGO. I’ve heard it all from people shouting ringo, dingo or bongo. Some old ladies had a great giggle at my expense one day when someone had called out the number two, answering as to how many sugars were needed in a cup of tea. I needed a two on my last card and not realizing that a new game was about to begin, I hollered BINGO!
