Live Bingo – I will never forget my first bingo hall experience. A friend of mine called me and asked if I’d like to go along with her, I thought about it as I never thought I’d enjoy it. I went along anyway, thought it would be amusing if nothing else, and it was, very amusing.
When ever someone called house the whole room sighed with disappointment, I have to admit I did find the tables of players- cigarette in one hand, dabber in the other, and so many tickets laid out in front of them fascinating, I was amazed by the amount of tickets these players could handle, when I was struggling with just a few.
The caller was calling so fast, but even though I must have missed a few numbers called I still had a full house. ”HOUSE’!’ I called, and through the disappointed players walked a man in blue, with his microphone to check my ticket ” false claim” he announced to the hall. I’d made a mistake and turned the brightest shade of red imaginable, as did my friend. As embarrassed as I was I still laugh when I think about it, it’s so typical of me. And as it turns out I had a great time, it soon became a regular thing, and I’m glad to say I’m a lot better at the game now.

Playing online bingo at home is the most convenient way you can play bingo as you can decide when you play, without even leaving the house. Going out and playing bingo can be quite expensive; especially if you have to drive or get a taxi to the hall; buy tickets for the nights games and eat and drink. When playing online, you decide how much you want to deposit, and play! To start playing bingo online, you need to log onto your internet and either type the website address in the address bar eg: www.galabingo.co.uk or in the search box: eg; Gala. If you are new to online gaming, I strongly suggest that you look up a bingo directory site which will tell you what the best sites are, who is giving away free money to play and many other details. You can also read review on what people actually think on various sites. Try a directory site such as www.bingoport.com for information.
When you have chosen a site, simply follow the directions to join or sign up. You will be presented with a registration form and you must fill in all your personal details, create and user name and password and if applicable; enter financial details for depositing. Depending on the site you join, you may also get free money eg; Ann Summers bingo will give you a free £1 and to claim this you must click the link from the email sent to you upon registration. Once this is all done, you can explore the site, see what great promotions are on offer and have fun. When playing bingo, many sites will have auto dab set as default so you don’t have to dab the numbers yourself. You can also be sociable with online bingo as there are chat dialogue boxes in every bingo room on a majority of sites found online. Here you can make new friends, gossip and play chat games to win some great prizes.
