World Bingo Ball Shortage – US and UK online bingo sites win out

World Bingo Ball Shortage – US and UK online bingo sites win out

The world shortage of bingo balls has forced many local bingo halls to close their doors indefinitely or go on two a day month openings. This has infuriated many players who see bingo as their only form of entertainment after the telly.

The demonstrations arranged by BIMGO (Bingo Is My Game OK) were mainly peaceful with only one arrest when a demonstrator daubed all the fours on the street signs for 42nd Street New York, forcing many motorists to believe it was 2nd Street and caused a traffic jam going back nearly 100 meters. Mrs. Fulhouse, 72, was later released without charge.

 A spokeswoman for Macka, the largest bingo operator in the UK which has recently moved into the US market explained the situation. “The world shortage of bingo balls is obviously a big concern for us. Just in our organization we use nearly one million bingo balls a year and the Chinese factory that produces them for us, say they can supply only 180 a day, just enough for two 90 ball bingo games. We had no option but to introduce these measures until supplies can be assured.” She went on to say “We understand the obvious anger to our beloved bingo players but they have to realize this situation has been forced upon us. We have, though at on own expense, set up bingo crisis centers across the UK and USA and will offer free counseling and a free lottery ticket for all those who may be suffering from A1B1 syndrome.

China accounts for 98% of the worlds output in bingo balls and blame the inability to produce bingo balls on the poor harvest of Hycithia, (latin name Istribingolus) which is used in the manufacture of bingo balls. A spokesman for Bingo Balls R Us, the biggest manufacturer in China had this to say. “Hycithia needs al least 165mm of water to grow and flower but this year, due to the world economic crisis, rainfall is down 30%, based on the RAINDEQ average. Harvest figures therefore are down from 64 million tonnes to just 6 million tonnes”

On the plus side online bingo operators are seeing a huge increase is player signups. A spokesperson for PlayUKandUSABingoOnline .co.com, one of the biggest online bingo operators emailed this statement. “We could see it this situation coming and blame the terrestrial bingo companies for not taking action sooner. We at playukandusabingo.co.com moved away from using bingo balls for our online bingo games and invested thousands of dollars into virtual cyber generated bingo ball simulator software (VCGBBSS). This means we rely totally on world renowned software instead of out dated bingo ball pop up machines. This gives us security and players a much better gaming experi$ !#@$ #” Unfortunately we could not report the full email statement as their messaging system was a new beta version and still a bit ‘buggy’, but by telephone the company said that any bingo players who sign up for their bingo site while this crisis continues would receive an incredible 200% deposit bonus.

If your local bingo hall is affected by this developing crisis and you are suffering from the recently discovered NoBingo (A1B1) syndrome click on the banner below. A1B1 syndrome expert, Ms coverall, has completed a report and she says that without any proof, playing online bingo, especially for American and British players, will cure A1B1 syndrome in about 10 minutes.

Bingo Games ? 75 Ball, 80 Ball and 90 Ball

Bingo Games ? 75 Ball, 80 Ball and 90 Ball

Many North American bingo enthusiasts will be shocked to learn that there are three variations on their favourite game.  Over in Europe they play 90 ball bingo, and the cards look very different from the traditional 75-ball game that is played in the US and Canada.  UK bingo players have been playing 90 ball bingo since the game’s inception.  So what you might ask?  Well, the 80 and 90 ball bingo cards are arranged differently to the 75 ball cards and can catch you off guard when you play bingo online if you’re not prepared.

We’ll start by talking about the traditional North American game, 75 ball bingo.  The cards for a 75 ball game are five rows by five columns, and the columns are typically headed by the letters B – I – N – G – O.  The numbers on the card are arranged by column in groups of fifteen, for example numbers under the B will range from 1 to 15, and on each card five unique numbers from that group will appear in the corresponding column.  The bingo balls usually have both the letter and number and the familiar call “under the B, thirteen” can be heard in bingo halls across North America.

Two European games gained popularity in the UK and are slowly making their way across the pond to North America.  The 80 and 90 ball variations of bingo are both played in the UK, although 90 ball is much more prevalent than its younger counterpart.  The 90 ball bingo game is most different from the North American game in that it’s played on a rectangular card.  With 3 rows and 9 columns, but only 5 numbers per row, the 90 ball card can be a strange animal when you first take a look at it.  The numbers are again arranged by column, with numbers 1 to 9 appearing in the first column on the left.

The 80 ball bingo game is similar to the traditional 75 ball North American game in that it is played on a square card.  Instead of a 5 by 5 square however, it is played on a 4 by 4 square.  Each column can contain any of twenty numbers, 1 to 20 in the first column, 21 to 40 in the second and so on.

Each variation of bingo has a different style of game that can be played on its cards.  Traditionally, 90 ball bingo will be played in three segments, one line, two lines and full card (three lines).  These are the simplest types of games.  In 75 and 80 ball bingos, single lines are valid, but longer games such as squares, X-shapes, T-shapes and H-shapes are also common.  Typically larger shapes mean bigger prizes, and bingo jackpots for full cards can appear when you reach a full card before a certain number of balls have been drawn.

All three games are gaining popularity in the online bingo world, and most bingo sites offer two types of games.  The UK-centric sites will offer more 90 ball games and the sites catering to US players will offer more 75 and 80 ball games.
