I was asking around to determine if any of my player friends had had any bad experiences in the sphere of Bingo. It seems 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 experienced where the blower failed, mid-game, and attempts to repair it ended in the whole gadget being knocked off the trestle table it was on, scattering the numbered Ping-Pong balls all over the Bingo hall floor. A pair were trodden on in the following melee and there were no substitute balls. Game abandoned, until somebody produced a home Bingo kit complete with ninety number counters and a draw-string bag to keep them in.

A vote of the players with cards was taken which was concluded virtually unanimously to resume the game, and the rest of the evening, using the make-shift arrangements. The caller continued to call, but a small kid was the one pulling the numbers from the bag ( undecided that was honestly sound, but this was Thatcher’s Britain at the time!!

The primary grumbles relating to live Bingo appeared to be often about not having the ability to hear the Caller or see the screen, and loud distractions, usually in the kids running amok department.
