Welcome to Elon Media Bingo

Bingo has made it online and has been making quite a splash in the online gaming industry ever since. Fans from all over the world have begun logging on to any one of the numerous 'Online Bingo halls' popping up on the web and are now enjoying the virtual variety of this traditionally land-based game. Similar to Online Poker and, more recently, Online Backgammon, it's still unclear just how popular Online Bingo may become and when it might hit a peak, but initial signs indicate that a major reserve of interest has definitely been tapped!

Online Bingo isn't 'too' different from its traditional counterpart and is essentially the same game only supplemented with some 'modern' amenities that aren't usually found in land-based bingo halls. An easy game to play no matter where you are, Bingo in its online variety is no different in this sense and, in fact, it's probably even easier, depending on how you look at it. All it takes is a few clicks and you're already on your way to playing online!

There are, however, some differences between the playing online and playing 'live' on land and in many cases, these differences make the online bingo games even more attractive. Unlike the contraptions used in land-based halls to spin the balls and select random numbers, online bingo sites use random number generators - the same type of machines used for dealing cards in online poker and other online casinos games. This is important as it literally guarantees a 'random' experience . Other differences include the 'auto-daub' feature online where players can check a box and have their numbers automatically daubed/marked without having to do so themselves. A bit lazy, we know, but it actually makes the game go faster and ensure that you don't miss a 'Bingo' if you're easily distracted or not paying attention. Players also generally have access to "Best Card Sorting" and "Best Card Highlighting" features, which automatically arrange and highlight a player's cards which are closest to bingo online.

With such options available, players are then freer to take advantage of another difference between the online and land-based varieties, which is "chatting". In land-based casinos talking is usually forbidden but online, operators encourage communication at the table, and have made it easy for players to chat with others. As far as prizes go, the variety of rewards online is equal to that of land-based bingo halls and quickly becoming even more lucrative. As more and more players sign-up online and create accounts, online bingo operators can come up with even more valuable prizes, including several progressive jackpots.
