Monday August 25th, 2008 01:23 The Bingo Blues

I miss my grandmother. I can’t believe it’s been four years since my grandmother passed away. Her death was very sudden so it took me a long time to accept it and finally move on. My memories of my grandmother are ambivalent actually. At one end is an ugly scar I have on my cheek due to her persistence to make me take my medicines when I was a little kid; and on the other end, are the fond memories of her and our fun Bingo-filled days. Sadly, these are all just that – memories that are forever etched in my mind.

My grandmother introduced me to the game of bingo. Actually, I already had an idea how it was being played before I had my first chance to play the game. One fine day, she brought home this old school set of the game one fine afternoon. It was surely a big hit in the family as we found ourselves playing the game every weekend. The pot money was dismal – each card was worth only 50 cents (that’s in PHP and it’s currently PHP 45.00 to a dollar) but we didn’t really mind ‘coz bingo sessions were considered as bonding sessions of the family. I even remember how on an out-of-town trip to Tagaytay, our family brought the Bingo game along and had a lot of fun playing in a rented cottage despite the very strong winds at Picnic Groove. (Imagine how difficult it was to keep the cards from flying away!) I don’t exactly know how and why the weekly Bingo sessions ended but we sure did have a lot of fun during those days when everyone in the family was addicted to it.

I find the present time very much different now though. The board games we used to love and spend a lot of time  within the family and circle of friends have now crossed over to the online world. Recently, a new website offering online bingo has emerged to coax the lovers of the game out of hibernation. It was quite inevitable to find the games we love online as we already live in a fast-paced and high-tech world.

Bingoheads will surely find the bingo offers at this new website gaming arena simply irresistible. God only knows how far a free £10 sign up bonus could go a long, long way with the right amount of luck. The 200% bonus is a blessing (not in disguise though) to new players making their first deposit to fund their accounts. But the fun doesn’t just stop there because every player is assured of a 50% bonus for every succeeding deposits a player makes. And of course, I don’t think I have to mention how beating all odds to keep your cards from flying off to netherland is now just a thing of the past. Aren’t those enough reasons to try your luck playing bingo at bet365?

My grandmother didn”t exactly know how to use the internet, much more how to play the game online, but if she were still alive, for sure she’d be amazed at how her favorite bingo game has adapted to the modern times. =)

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Good article and a nice summation of the problem. My only problem with the analysis is given that much of the population joined the chorus of deregulatory mythology, given vested interest is inclined toward perpetuation of the current system and given a lack of a popular cheerleader for your arguments, I’m not seeing much in the way of change.
