Bingo and History Have a Way of Repeating Itself

It&s not another history lesson about the origins of bingo once called beano with roots tracing back to Italy in the 1500&s. If you are an avid bingo buff you have read it all before in hundreds of articles on the subject.

The time is 1941 in a smoky gin joint in Morocco in the midst of World War 2 with one common thread of interest today; gambling. It was in a night club called Rick’s Café Américain where mixed clientele engage in fine spirits, romance and merriment as sounds of winners echo off the walls. It was the adult playground of playing games of chance that saw them through the tough times.

It&s the same components in the game of bingo that draw people together today in one of the most social gambling venues around where players escape from the day to day stress and unwind in the simplicity of playing to win. The bingo community is rich in its social features where chat is light hearted and laughter is eminent and new friends are born.

While Rick&s Café serves up gently shaken and not stirred martinis, Bingo has its own rendition of Happy Hour with Bonuses and promotions that are intoxicating and will surely have you tipsy in no time. Add a twist of Progressive Jackpots and put a cherry on top of every win.

And then it happens; romance blossoms as sparks fly in intimate private chats inside bingo rooms. Your bingo roomie has all the charms of a true gentleman as he says “Of all the bingo joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine”. And with a sigh he sends you a cyber-kiss and though it&s not the real deal you must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.

Like Casablanca the fundamental things apply as time goes by……
