The best ways to play bingo while travelling
The game of bingo has come a long way since you had to go to a local bingo hall at a certain time of the week to play it. These days, it is possible to enjoy some games even when you travel, with the following some of the best ideas to bear in mind the next time you start packing for a trip.
Use a mobile device or laptop
The popularity of online bingo has opened up the game to many new players, and the fact that mobile versions are available has made it even more accessible. You can either download an app from the App Store or Google Play Store or else visit the site on your mobile browser. Either way, the simple, fast gameplay makes bingo ideal for mobile users.
When you play bingo games online, you can choose from a huge variety of different titles, with each taking the classic game and adding a twist to it. For example, popular rooms on the Betfair site include Rainbow Riches, Spirit Twister, and Jackpots Drop. In addition, the site contains a mixture of slots, table games, and other ways of playing.
Play travel bingo
A different approach involves creating your own game of bingo. A good example here comes with the travel bingo car game, where you mark off the sights that you pass, such as bridges, flags, and dogs. You can easily print off some travel bingo cards online or create your own, while it also comes in the form of a board game.
Another option is to make your own bingo game based on the classic rules that see you trying to mark off all of the numbers on your card. This is ideal for playing on a long car trip or when you are in a hotel looking for something to do in the evening. Alternatively, you could buy a small bingo set that you can pack and take away with you on your trips.
Look for local bingo options
Wherever you go in the world, there is a good chance that bingo is popular there. The US, the UK, and Australia are among the biggest bingo-loving nations, but according to some sources, it is Romania that is second-top after the UK in terms of bingo popularity. The game arguably originated in 16th century Italy, so it is no surprise to see that it is also much-loved here.
You will find some differences as you play this game in various countries, as it was originally used as an educational tool in Germany, while the Japanese love playing online but don’t have a culture of land-based bingo halls. In Russia, you can even join in with a game on TV.
You don’t have to miss out on your bingo action when you leave home. With any of these fun ways of playing the game, you can keep on playing wherever you go. Just a little bit of research before you go should be enough to give you some great ideas for playing as you travel.
