The elderly don’t own bingo anymore
I used to think that bingo was a game played only by gray haired old ladies. I am glad to report that this is not true anymore. Of course, there will be a few elderly payers in the bingo hall, but I have also noticed large crowds of younger players. Note that my observations have been made in the past two years while I have been playing bingo in Las Vegas.
Players in their twenties came in for a late night bingo session after leaving the club. It was hard not to notice them since they were wearing tuxedos and sexy dresses. I was glad to see that they were really caught up in the game and they enjoyed it immensely.
Nowadays the average age of the people in a bingo hall is between 40 and 50. This does not mean that you will only find players from this age group. You will find players aged 21 to 90 years old players.
A cash ball is a special ball that is drawn at the beginning of each session, any bingo with the cash ball as the last ball called wins the cash ball jackpot for that session. The jackpots range from a few hundred dollars up to $15,000. This means that bingo is not only a fun game to play, but it can prove to be a very profitable game as well.
Bonanza’s, Even Bettor, Dual daub, or Double action, are coverall jackpots that offer a lot of money. The payout ranges from a few thousand dollars to over $100,000. Just think about it. You could win all that money and all you have to spend are a few dollars on bingo tickets.
You can expect to pay these prices on bingo tickets:
- A pack with 6 cards on each sheet will set you back $4.
- A small rainbow will cost $8 to $12. A small rainbow has 16 cards per sheer.
- Using a computer to do all the marking for you will cost up to over $100.
Bingo is a fun and exciting game no matter how old you are. You will have an entertaining night out and you may even win that huge jackpot.
