Whoa there!!
I was shocked to learn that in Las Vegas, Bingo can actually be a good deal. Well, atleast a "not bad" deal. In most of the USA Bingo is a total rip-off. I know that. In Vegas, its a massive odd-hour retirement pastime that can actually be sensibly addressed by a gambler. Oh don't get me wrong, most people who consider themselves to be Gamblers would not want to be seen coming out of a Bingo room, but once you get past the emotional part and focus on the math, those Bingo players don't do so badly. All that free booze and an occasional positive player advantage! Might just return enough to let them buy the occasional package of blue hair dye.

Sure there is the exceptional item such as NYNY offering free Bingo and Free Coffee to its Wake Up Bingo Game but I'm talking of some Bingo games being good deals due to crowd turnout expectations and prizes. So if there are equivalent opportunities OnLine, let us atleast hear about them. MOST of Vegas bingo is at about one percent house edge and all Bingo Rooms make money for the casino only on the EVEN hours when those Bingo Ladies hit the slot machines. However some Bingo turns marginally positive for the player and might be a curiosity to Real Gamblers.

So is the same way "online"? Or is online Bingo the same disgraceful embarrassment that real Bingo is in most of Vegas?

I'm not sure for some, but online bingo is far more different to the traditional bingo that most oldies are playing in bingo halls. With my experience with it, there are lots of fun and enjoyment. Everything is played with the same rules but is played in a different way.

What are the prizes in Vegas? is there some kind of break even point on the house edge by playing a massive amount of cards at once?
