Just kidding folks, there's nothing "only" about 60,000 people crammed into an armory trying to correctly place little circles of wood onto flimsy cardboard cards and desperately hoping to be heard while screaming "BINGO." That's a huge number of people to be playing any one game at any single time and place. And there would have 70,000 had not the fire marshal in Teaneck, New Jersey turned 10,000 hopeful players away at the door.
Which all goes to show what an insanely popular form of gambling bingo was, is, and has been for the entire 575 years since its first appearance in Italy as the Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia.
Fortunately, you no longer have to fight your way into a hot, smelly armory filled with shrieking fanatics to play major-league bingo for monumental jackpots. You can do it online, where the number of players is theoretically unlimited, where the chances of being "turned away" are almost nil, and where, most importantly, the chance of you mismarking your card or having your victorious roar of "BINGO" being drowned out by ambient noise is nonexistent.
As you've probably already guessed from its Italian name, Bingo was - and still is - a form of lottery ... a gaming proposition in which the winner is determined by a random draw of numbers totally beyond the players' control. Which is why most United States state lotteries "pull" Bingo balls to pick their winning numbers. (Keno, another popular online and offline casino game, is yet another form of lottery in which winners are determined by a random number draw.)
The fact that any Bingo round's winning combination of letters and numbers is determined by random chance does not, however, mean that there is no strategy involved or that you can't somehow influence the odds for or against your success. It simply means that all the strategy is "betting" strategy and that the key factor in influencing the odds involves making correct decisions about how, where and what games to play.
There are, not surprisingly for a game that has been around over five centuries, many variations of Bingo - a fair number of them, like Chat Room Bingo, internet-only embellishments that make the game more fun and potentially profitable than ever before.
