Not everyone has the stomach for risk to play poker for serious cash. The thrill some get by going all in just isn’t there. But, there are gambling games online where the risk is low and you can still win a little money if you’re lucky.
If you can believe it, the most popular form of online gambling in the UK is playing bingo. It is certainly the most popular game among female gamblers in the UK. In case you’re completely in the dark about bingo, the popular form here is 90-ball. Players receive a book of six tickets. Each ticket has a 9×3 grid with five numbers in each row. The goal of the game is for the caller to announce all five numbers on one of the rows. Mark it down, call bingo, and you win whatever prize that game is running. Often games will continue until someone has two rows and three rows complete on the same ticket.
It doesn’t take a lot of thought to play bingo, and if you play online it needs even less. Players can let the software handle marking the numbers. So why do it then? The big draw for bingo players is the social aspect. Online bingo parlors often have a chat room for each game so players can talk while the numbers are drawn. Real bingo halls are also very social places, though quiet reigns when the game is being played. This social aspect attracts women who may be put off by games like poker where talk is heavily discouraged. And for men, it’s a great place to meet women. They’re not all old, especially those playing bingo online!
Depending on the number of players, the type of game, and the bingo hall, it is possible to win a sizeable amount of cash. If the thrill of winning big is what drives you to game, try a progressive jackpot game. However, there are only a few minor ways to increase your odds of winning. You can buy more books for each game, which makes you risk more money, and you can perfect your scanning and daubing techniques to speed up your play. Finding numbers quickly is essential to beating out others who may call bingo before you.
If you’ve just lost your shirt playing poker online, why not give bingo a try? Find a site that has been in operation for a while, is certified by a third-party, and accepts GBP. There are plenty of sites that fit that bill.
