Bingo!

Bingo is often the "forgotten" casino game. Most people probably wouldn't even consider it when rattling off a list of games found in casinos. But still, bingo is one of the most popular games of chance played in this country! It is beloved by charities and churches alike for fund-raising, and it is a game that is both easy to play, and easy to host.

So whats stopping you from hosting your own bingo party? NOTHING!

To begin with, you can pick up a set of bingo supplies here at Casino Supply.com. They have everything you will need from balls, to tumblers, to cards. And while some bingo versions serve up the random spots by using playing cards to deal out the numbers, we prefer the tried and true ping-pong ball approach. Nothing quite beats that visual of the ball coming out of the tumbler.

Once you have your supplies, you will want to know how to setup your bingo evening. Here is a list of the types of covering patterns you can go for, and the nicknames they go by.

If its your first time calling a bingo game, you may want to read this BBC article on bingo calling. Its got all you need, right down to the nicknames given to the balls that come out. (essential for adding flavor to the calling process!)

You can also learn more about the basics of Bingo, and even some of its history on Wikipedia

Finally, if you are interested in playing more than hosting, here's some crucial info on your chances of winning from the Wizard of Odds.

So there you have it. A bunch of BINGO links, for hosting your own game, or learning where to play the best games. And the next time someone asks you what your favorite casino game is, don't forget to consider BINGO!
