Electronic Bingo More Important Than Ever

One thing became even more obvious after my recent trip to BingoWorld2008. Electronic Bingo is more important than ever for your bingo to be a success. If you run a bingo and are not using electronics, your bingo is likely not making as much revenue as it should.

Players can only play so many paper bingo books at a time. Electronic bingo increases your bingo revenues by simply allowing your players that can't physically play any more paper books, to play more books electronically. With higher prizes available in some locations, your bingo players are more willing to spend more for a chance to play more faces and win more money. Without electronic bingo, you're allowing revenue for your nonprofit to walk out the door.

Electronic bingo players don't just play extra regular games electronically. Typically, these bingo players will also spend extra to play bingo games outside of your regular game books, as well. For instance, if your bingo has "early bird" games or a special jackpot game, electronic bingo players will usually pay extra to play extra bingo faces for these games too. In fact, our statistics have shown that allowing bingo players the option to play bingo games both onbingo paper and electronically increases a bingo's overall revenue substantially.

The bottom line is that it is essential that today's bingo offer players the ability to play both bingo paper and electronic bingo. Otherwise, your bingo will soon be left behind if it hasn't already happened.
