Bingo Card Printer - What do you need to play bingo at home?
30 August 2007
To save money use the Bingo Port Bingo Card Printer It let’s you print bingo cards for free and even has a built in bingo caller meaning you don’t need a bingo cage to call out the bingo ball numbers.
What do you need to play bingo at home?
Fancy a fun night with friends playing Bingo all you will need in order to do this is to purchase a bingo set which will contain all the items you require.
A Cage to place the balls in and randomly select during play, numbered balls either 1-75’s if the American version or 1-90 in the European version.
Master board to place the numbered balls as they are drawn from the gage and game play tickets. These are the only things apart from players you need in order to play the ever popular past time Bingo. Many clubs and schools play bingo as a way of raising funds for there club fund or school activities.
I play at home with my children as it is an excellent way to keep them amused for hours during long winter days. Just confirm who is attending whether you are playing for prizes or just for fun and you’re all set.
Playing for sweets with the kids is a good way to introduce them into the world of Bingo the highs and the lows. Friends and I often get a few bottles in and sit and play for fun as it is a fantastic social evening where we can unwind.

How to keep your mind active using Bingo
28 August 2007
We are constantly being reminded to keep ourselves active and that using our minds playing strategy games like Sudeko and puzzles assist in keeping you young the same can be said for Bingo. Activities that stimulate your brain help strengthen your mind.
Learning new things or just playing game’s and reading can help with doing this. Just as exercise is good for the body exercise for the brain is good to helping keep away problems such as Alzheimer’s and dementia in later life at bay. It has been proven in studies that bingo can assist in this stimulation is as good as any other puzzle type game.
The more active your brain is the better your memory is likely to be. The greater the variety of the ways in which you use your mind the easier you’ll find remembering things and it’s never too late to start. We should all participate in regular activities of the brain are just as important as exercising our bodies.
Bingo players who have been playing bingo for sustained periods of time have been found to have superior reflexes in many cases to non-bingo players. The speed and mental agility required to scan six bingo cards in time before the next call is called is an art which is obtained from regular play and has been proven to increase mentally agility and recalling skills. The social aspect of the game is crucial as well.
It is the combination of the interaction and communications with others in chat rooms ensures you use your brain to remember and recall regular friends, events even gossip. Various studies have been conducted in the area and research shows that keeping your brain active using regular puzzles crosswords and games like bingo helps to keep your brain active. This is just as important as taking regular exercise and eating healthy.
Southampton University recently done a study of 100 bingo players and 100 non bingo players and the results proved this theory. So have a game of bingo it is good for you.
