Bingo or Housie

Bingo or Housie


Bingo and Housie are the name of the same game. All the sites where money is to won or lost the game is called Bingo. The way Bingo started off is very interesting.


Bingo started off as a small game which was played in churches to raise funds for their projects. From that point onwards, the game spread all over the world and is now played by many people of all age groups around the world.


The game that is played by groups where money is not involved is called housie.


Housie is played in the following manner.


The player is provided with a slip which contains random generated numbers printed on each of the rows.


When the game starts the organizer calls up random numbers. A number called once is not repeated in the series. The user in the meanwhile is supposed to mark numbers which are called. Any one who completed a single row has to declare the same and is now eligible for a prize.


The Fun part of the entire game is that the person whose slip matches the called number makes a HOOOOOOOOO sound to tell others that the called number matches. But then for the sake of FUN ALL MANY who make his sound and just enjoy the game.

Now the race begins for all the three rows. Any person who completes all the three rows gets a big bonus prize.


All over the Internet the Game is referred as BINGO


To be frank, it is all luck. The numbers that are printed on the slips are done in a random order and so is the numbers that are called out.


There are times when no one finishes the either of the rows.


Over the Internet, the slips are generated on random order and so are the numbers. The players who put their money on the game have not guarantee of winning. Please do win/loose money over internet but still cannot have the kind of fun that a group would enjoy.
