Why Is Bingo So Popular? You can see signs walking to the grocery store and banners while surfing the web. Bingo is becoming increasingly popular and more players are joining gaming halls and online sites. In 2004 there were only 20 online bingo sites, while today there are more than 350! The game is being promoted everywhere you turn and new halls pop up out of nowhere. So you may be asking yourself, why is bingo so popular? Socializing The game of chance which first appeared on the Italian peninsula in the 16th century has been a favorite among gaming enthusiasts worldwide because of how social and communicative it is. It’s no mystery that we as humans like to communicate and talk to one another, and bingo is a game that does just that. Land Based Land-based games are known to have a little less communication because players need to be paying attention the caller or announcer that calls the numbers as they’re randomly drawn. Failing to pay attention can be the difference between winning and losing. However, in-between games the atmosphere is very relaxed and social. Players in land-based games enjoy seeing the same familiar faces.

Even though the gameplay is virtual, playing online actually gives players the ability to socialize more. Sites like Bingo Hall have live chat features in every one of their rooms. These chat rooms are hosted by Chat Moderators. The moderators are there to welcome and help new players as well as to keep the conversations friendly. They also host special games and prizes that are available only through chat so make sure you pay attention when you’re chatting. Auto-daub is the feature that allows players to be more social during online play. As we said earlier, land-based games discourage talking when the balls are being called, because each player needs to pay close attention. The daub feature automatically marks off the numbers called on a player’s card allowing them to take part in conversations.


You Can Win Money The game is so popular because you not only build a group of friends and acquaintances; you also have the chance at winning cash! A lot of players around the world use bingo as a way to make some extra money on the side. Some players have even gotten so lucky that they’ve been able to pay off houses, buy luxury cars and take exotic vacations! Online Gameplay Probably the main reason that bingo has become so popular is because of the online gameplay. Playing online has loads of benefits, like letting you play from your own home. The online gameplay has made bingo more accessible because people no longer have to find a gaming hall, and then attend the scheduled game.
