When you talk about bingo wings you are discussing the saggy bits underneath people’s arms, but just who come up with this term, who knows! A lady called Jo from Walton has recently hit her 60th birthday, but this plucky lady won’t be letting life pass her by now because she has just done away with her bingo wings after shedding nearly 8 stone in weight.

I just read a press release with the header (Stop Destroying Our Bingo)and it talked about how the smoking ban and government are being blamed for less bums on seats in our land based bingo halls. This report also brought up a very good point about the new hand held electronic devices that are now in many bingo clubs up and down the UK. Gala Bingo call their gadget the “Gala Wiz” and this little machine allows bingo players to play a lot more tickets that they probably normally would have.
The point that was being made here was that bingo players that use these kind of hand held electronic devices have more chance of winning bingo that the normal bingo player that purchases strips of 6 tickets and I have got to say, I totally agree on this point.
Yes the game of bingo has always been about luck and chance, but It has also always been a very fair game to play and it is the most socially accepted form of gaming to take part in around the world. Before these hand held electronic devices were introduced Bingo players would not have been able to play more than two strips of 6 tickets at the same time as it would have been impossible to keep up with the bingo caller and mark all your numbers of your bingo card and most bingo players would have only purchased strips of 6 tickets.
Now the average bingo player that goes out for a fun night at the bingo and purchases strips of 6 bingo tickets are competing against bingo players that have treble if not more bingo cards in play than them on each bingo game that is played. Where has fair play gone, is what I want to know? Bingo has always been about giving people an equal chance of winning, you used to purchase your bingo tickets like everyone else taking part in the game, take your seat and hope lady lucky shines your way, but with the introduction of these machines the equality seems to gone out of the land based version of our bingo game a bit, don’t you think?
If your pocket can afford it then these new hand held devices are good, if not then they are not so good for you. What I would like to see is bingo clubs putting a limit on how many bingo tickets can be purchased into each bingo game that is played and bring the element of equal chance into the game.
A lot of online bingo sites on the net even limit the amount of bingo tickets that players can purchase into each bingo game. If you was to play at any bingo site on the web that runs on Globalcom software like Foxy Bingo, the maximum amount of bingo tickets you could purchase on any one bingo game is set at 24, which makes then much more equal games for bingo players to play.
