Online Bingo Halls Versus Land Based Halls

Today a bingo player has choices when it comes to playing bingo. You can either go to your local land based bingo hall or you can play online. There is no doubt that playing online bingo has sky rocketed. But let's weigh the two preferences and determine which is better.

You pack up your bingo bag loaded down with daubers, trinkets for luck and head down to the nearest bingo hall. Wait in line to purchase your bingo cards. You have two choices, either paper cards or electronic cards. In most bingo halls the electronic cards win hands down. But not without a price. Electronic bingo cards cost more than paper cards. If your on a budget you may not want to pay extra for this luxury. One advantage is your able to play more cards because you won't have to mark your cards.

Next you have to find a seat. Walking up and down the aisles your subject to taking some player's favorite seat. If in the event you do, your more than likely going to have your night ruined. The glare of the betrayed bingo player's whose seat you just snatched, may be more than you can take. You find a small little corner where your certain it's safe to sit and with baited breath you hope you have made the right choice. If you win make sure to yell bingo because if you snooze you lose.

Your half way through the night and it is break time. Heading to the snack bar you have your choice of pizza that has sat under a heat lamp since before you walked in tonight or hot dogs on a rotisserie that have shriveled up and began to sweat. A cup of coffee sounds good, but after seeing a woman just ordering a cup you aren't sure if it had turned to mud from sitting there too long, so you decide to pass. You might want to play it safe and order a coke and popcorn instead.

When the night is over make sure you clean your area. Bingo workers frown upon any messes left. You get in your car and head for home but before you can't even get out of the parking lot, your stuck in a 15 minute traffic jam along with all the other bingo players.

Now let's talk about playing online bingo. With a click of your mouse, your there. You purchase your electronic cards and play. Your thirsty, you grab that fresh pot of coffee made right before you sat down. How about a piece of that just made fresh apple pie to go along with it. Don't worry if you have a bingo while your gone, you will automatically win thanks to computerized technology.

Which is better, online or land based bingo halls? I think we all know the answer to that.
