The Fun Of Bingo Halls

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

Many people around the world from Australia to Zambia flock to bingo halls to play their favourite game. Bingo halls come in all shapes and sizes, from the small town community halls to buildings specially built for bingo.

The specialized bingo halls have the feel of a Las Vegas casino, with all the flashy lights and elegant interior and furniture. Fine music can be also heard drifting through the various bingo halls for the players' enjoyment. The main Bingo area is an atrium with a stage where the caller (person who announces the numbers) stands. The stage in bingo halls are normally done up with various decorations to add more atmosphere to the occasion.

Gone are the days where bingo halls are regarded as smoky places just for the older people. Modern bingo halls are a safe place for young and old to have a night of great fun. The bigger bingo halls offer other side attractions like live entertainment, places to get food and other gambling games like video poker and video roulette.

The caller stands on the stage and clearly announces each number; once a player has a winning ticket another member of the bingo hall's staff will go the player and confirm that the player has won. Once confirmed the caller puts the information on a computer and displays the numbers on a screen for approximately 10 seconds for all the other players to see. Once the 10 seconds has elapsed the game continues.

Bingo halls are often used for charity events and fund raising activities. These halls are hired out to various organizations which in turn run events to raise money for charity or other worthy causes.
