Bingo Celebs

Funny, after I read about the White Stripes interest in bingo I tried to search names of other celebrities who enjoy a game of online bingo and I came up with a nice list of many actors, athlets, musicians and so on who are avid fans of bingo and online bingo games.

Among them are both American and British celebrities like: Russel Crowe, Catherine-Zeta Jones, Shane Richie, Jade Jagger, Denise Van Outen, Michael Douglas, Sara Cox, Robbie Williams and even the ex-president of the United States, Mr. Bill Clinton himself claimed that he is into bingo games here and there.

Nice respectful list, if you ask me. Makes me feel honored to be an online bingo player among others.

White Stripes are into Bingo

Heh, I just read that the rock group, the White Striped ended their Canadian tour with a show in Newfoundland and later, their singer, Jack White, ended the evening at the local bingo parlor.
What happened to the days where rock groups ended their shows with wilder things? 75 ball bingo and rock'n'roll is the best combination I guess...

National Bingo Night is back!

Nice. I just read that ABC will air some new episodes of National Bingo Night, a pretty cool TV series. As far as I know there were at least 6 episodes that were aired during 2007, but now ABC announced they want to shoot some more episodes.
National Bingo Night is hosted by Ed Sanders, the guy from Extreme Makeover (Home Edition).

The concept behind NBN is interesting because it allows home viewers to play the game while watching, but somehow I understood that the ratings weren't that good, so ABC decided to end the show after 6 episodes.

Usually, I'm not a big fan of reality TV, but NBN is an interesting format and a good idea and I will sure watch the new episoded. Good luck for them.

world of bingo

Guess who won the 4th of July online bingo tournament?
Yes, you guessed it right, it was me.

I've read in couple of places that Online Bingo becomes a huge hit in many places, even in Latin America. I never considered Mexicao to be a bingo loving nation, but I guess this is the case.
I do remember that in my last visit in Spain I saw quite a few bingo parlors so I guess that somehow bingo is indeed a universal thing.

Bingo Smoking Ban

It seems as if anyone is talking nowadays about the smoking ban. Online bingo sites are probably happy with it, since players who are deprived from their right to smoke while playing, will probably search some other ways to play bingo without to visit the non-smoking bingo rooms.

Personally, I don't smoke, I never liked to smoke and I never thought that it gives me any new pleasure that playing bingo can't do without. But, my friends usually smoke when we play poker or bingo together, and I never really cared about it. It was just something that happened, and it didn't changed anything for me during the game.

Yet I must add that one of the coolest things in online bingo rooms is that fact that I can sit around and play my favorite online bingo games without to be annoyed by the smoke. It is sure healthier and I can definitely understand those players that will choose to quit their old bingo habits and start playing at online bingo sites. It might be hard for the land-based bingo industry, but this is how things go, I guess.

The history of online bingo

I was thinking, that I never really took time to learn about bingo history.
I'm a well-educated man, if I may say so, and I'm usually interested in the origins of things like that, but somehow I always avoided reading about bingo in Wikipedia or other information websites.

I was chatting with a friend on one of the online bingo chat rooms the other day, and he asked me if I knew that bingo was played with beans at first, I was surprising, but I recall that I heard something about it somewhere in the past. I checked it on Wikipedia and it was correct. Online bingo DID start as a game of beans called "Beano".

I think I'll take some time now to read and learn more about the game, I just feel that its the right thing to do for someone like me who is definitely into online bingo games.
