Bingo Bags Are Making A Strong Fashion Statement.

April 24, 2019   Personal game   No comments

Bingo balls are placed inside bingo bags, away from everyone’s vision. These bags are thereafter shaken to ensure that the balls would be jumbled up. Thereafter, a ball is squeezes out of the tiny opening of the bag. This opening only allows the exit of one ball at a time, to guarantee that no one would be able to inadvertently see the other digits.

Bingo bags are essential supplies for any bingo game. An organizer can try other makeshift substitutes, like covered bottles, or even fabricated boxes, but nothing can beat the sheer efficiency of bingo bags as a medium to assure the randomness of the game.

And with the way these bags are being produced in this day and age, they’re sure to be the supplies of choice by many bingo organizers.

Indeed, unlike in previous decades, bingo bags now come in different shapes, sizes and colors. A cursory look at them would even lead one to think that they are fashionable merchandise instead of bingo equipment. Case in point: my fiancée bought one as a carry-all for her incense set which she brings with her for her yoga sessions. She never even thought that it was primarily intended for bingo balls!

Another friend of mine purchased one of these bags for her 12 year old daughter who was taking some drumming lessons. The child, it seemed, thought that the bag was perfect for her percussion sticks and powder bottle. And the colors it came with were perfect complements to most of the clothes in her wardrobe. Again, both my friend and her daughter were surprised to discover that the bag was primarily intended for bingo purposes.

But here’s the clincher among today’s tales. My brother bought one of these bags as well. He’s a runner, you see, and he joins every marathon he encounters. He wanted a cool cover for his canteen, and he found one of these bags as a perfect fit for his beloved water container. And as expected, he was shocked to discover the real purpose for the bag he bought.

These bags have indeed expanded from their original usage into fashionable items for the modern times. This is a great analogy for the game such bags are associated with. Bingo, after all, is as timeless as the need for a fashionable change.

How to Play Roulette

December 25, 2018   Game type   No comments

Roulette is a game that has its origins in the old continent, in France, and the current layout of the table is the one that was used back in 1842. When playing roulette, you must spread your chips around the betting table in order to try to pick the winning number once the wheel has stopped spinning. You also have other interesting options such as picking either red or black or if the winning ball is going to be even or odd.

Now, when it comes to the wheel, there are two kinds, the American, which has 38 numbers (0 to 37 and double zero) and a house edge of 5.26%. The European does not play the double zeros; therefore, on this type of roulette you will only find slots numbered from 0 to 36, and because of the lack of the 00, the house edge diminishes to 2.63.

In this game, you do not bet with your money directly, as you need to exchange it for chips, and to avoid any possible disputes, each player receives a set of chips of a different color. Such chips can only be utilized in the roulette table and cannot be transfer to other gaming tables, and they should be exchange for regular casino chips once you are done playing.

In roulette, there is a minimum and a maximum bet, though the exact amount depends on each casino and an important factor to notice is that you cannot combine an outside and an inside bet in order to meet the table’s minimum. Let’s say that the less you can bet is $5, so, these five dollars should be placed outside or inside, you cannot bet three dollars inside and two more outside.

Bet types:

The betting table has two areas; the one inside is the one with all of the numbers, which is divided in twelve rows of 3 numbers, making it 3 vertical columns with the zero and the double zero at the top. And the one outside has different boxes for colors and more.

Inside: here you can bet straight up, which means to put chips on a determined number, and splits, which means that you can put your chips in the middle of two numbers and get half the earnings of a bet in a determined number. Here you are paid 35 to 1, and 17 to 1 in splits.

Outside: Here you can wager on colors, either placing your chips in the red or black colors, or on columns, odd/even and a set of group numbers, and when you place a bet here, you are paid even.
