Online Bingo is just another online casino game

Not that long ago casinos and Bingo were so far apart that they attracted a totally different clientele and were thought of in different lights with Bingo halls being a place for a night out of good fun and casinos being a place to go and gamble for serious money. Online casinos have changed all that and now online Bingo is just another of the casino games offered by virtually all online casinos. There are of course online bingo sites that offer nothing other than bingo online and most of the larger online casinos still keep bingo and casino sections separate as if to imply that bingo is not a casino game but we know different; it is as much gambling as any other of the casino games and winning is as much a question of luck as many other casino games. The game of Bingo is as old as the hills and although there are a number of varieties concerning the number of balls and the patterns that need to be completed for  a win the game remains unchanged. You could in fact suggest that Lotteries are in fact nothing more than a variety of Bingo game. The big advantage that online bingo has brought is the progressive jackpot and it is this feature and the possibility of a really big win that keeps many players coming back. Bingo halls were in the past linked to each other to offer jackpots but nothing on the scale of online bingo where it is so much easier to link games together to provide worthwhile jackpots. There has also been a marked change in the cross section of online bingo players as more men who would not have been seen dead in a bingo hall now play the online version and who is to know whether you are male or female, you choose your own play identity and that is that.
