We still enjoy numbers games at the online casinos

Here at onlinecasino.ie we often find ourselves discussing how the introduction of online casinos has affected the gambling scene, particularly in Ireland. Apart from our historical love of gambling on sporting events, particularly horse racing, the most common gambling activities in Ireland prior to the advent of online casinos were probably the lottery and bingo. Clearly most of us at some time have also played slot machines at our local pub or club, but the most common social gambling activity was undoubtedly bingo. Unfortunately it appears that a lot fewer of us now spend an evening at our local bingo club than we did, and yet the game itself appears to retain its popularity. All the major online casinos offer a variety of numbers games within their range of casino games, and all report that bingo is still a very popular online casino game. In fact many online casinos now offer new casino games such as Keno, which are firmly rooted in the concept of the game of bingo. Playing Keno at an online casino allows the player to select up to twenty numbers from 1 to 80 which they then hope will match twenty numbers then selected randomly by the online casino RNG. The appeal of a numbers game such as Keno is that the player can set the degree of risk and the subsequent winning odds by choosing to select less than twenty numbers. Clearly the chances of matching say five numbers from ten selections are far less than matching five from twenty, but the pay-out for each winning number is higher to reflect the odds. The popularity of casino games such as Keno and indeed the basic game of bingo proves that we still enjoy playing numbers games, so why don’t we go out and play in a more social environment. Yes it could have been the smoking ban which initially damaged attendance at the bingo clubs, but far less of us now smoke so have we just become less social generally?.
