Regularly Maintain Your Bingo Balls

It's a good idea to wash your bingo balls regularly. Dirt and grease are transferred to your bingo balls with each touch of the caller's fingers. Eventually dirt build up can and will alter the frequency with which balls are called, and anything affecting the randomness of the calls should be avoided.

What else can affect the randomness of the numbers called?

1. Chipped, cracked, and dented bingo balls will certainly skew the frequency of how often a bingo ball appears. It may make the ball appear more or less often, and both of these alternatives are bad outcomes. Make sure that you repair any dents and remove cracked or chipped balls from your bingo machine .

2. Mixing bingo ball sets can also change the frequency of the calls. If you place a green ball with a white set, that green ball's weight will differ slightly. And, while the difference may be subtle, it will be enough to skew the frequency one way or another. This can also be true for bingo ball sets with the same color, but different styles.

I always urge bingo managers to strive to keep their game's integrity above reproach. Keeping your bingo ball sets uniform and in good condition removes doubt from bingo players and is always a good idea.
