I was asking around to determine if any of my player pals had had any bad experiences in the area of Bingo. It appears that there were few they could recall, but most seemed to relate to live or land-based Bingo, rather than online Bingo.

There had been the time I witnessed where the blower failed, mid-game, and attempts to mend it resulted in the entire gadget being knocked off the trestle table it was on, scattering the numbered Ping-Pong balls all over the Bingo hall floor. A couple were trodden on in the ensuing melee and there were not any substitute balls. Game deserted, until someone produced a home Bingo kit complete along with ninety number counters and a draw-string bag to keep them in.

A vote of the players with cards was taken and it was agreed almost unanimously to resume the game, and the rest of the evening, using the make-shift arrangements. The caller continued to call, but a little kid was the one pulling the numbers from the bag ( not sure that was ethically sound, but this was Thatcher’s Britain at the time!!

The main complaints in relation to live Bingo appeared to be often about not having the ability to hear the Caller or see the screen, and loud diversions, typically in the children running amok dept.
