I was asking around to see whether any of my player buddies had had any bad experiences in the field of Bingo. It seems that there were very few they could recall, but most appeared to relate to live or land-based Bingo, instead of online Bingo.
There was the time I experienced where the blower failed, mid-game, and tries to fix it ended in the whole device being knocked off the trestle table it was on, scattering the numbered Ping-Pong balls all over the Bingo hall floor. A pair were trodden on in the following melee and there weren’t any substitute balls. Game abandoned, till somebody produced a home Bingo kit complete with 90 number counters and a draw-string bag to keep them in.
A vote of the players with cards was taken which was concluded virtually collectively to continue the game, and the rest of the evening, using the make-shift agreements. The caller continued to call, but a small kid was the one pulling the numbers from the bag ( undecided that was honestly sound, but this was Thatcher’s Britain at the time!!
The key grouses associated with live Bingo seemed to be typically about not being able to hear the Caller or see the screen, and noisy distractions, usually in the kids running amok department.
