No wonder bingo has gained some serious fame and admiration in last few years among people in Texas. But with popularity comes the misconceptions. Unfortunately like many other games, bingo too has a long list of myths that people seem to believe in. Some myths are just assumptions like bingo is merely a game of luck, while some border on the bizarre like successful bingo players are born geniuses.

Here we, at Texas Charity bingo, list some of the common bingo myths and the actual facts:

• Certain numbers are luckier than the others: You probably have seen many gamers carrying a rabbit foot in keychains, hoping their lucky numbers would get magically announced. A lot of people, especially the elderly believe it to be 100% true while for the young generation there is no such thing as lucky charms and numbers. To state the fact-winning at bingo is influenced heavily by skill, experience, and alertness.
• It is way too costly: Some people think that bingo games are too expensive to play and are only meant for people loaded with bling. But this is not the case. Bingo games and promotions at our Texas bingo halls are designed to suit the people with all financial backgrounds.
• It is a game of oldies: It is quite strange that so many people have a delusion that bingo is only a game of old people. While in reality, year after year we come across many people from age group 25-50 enjoying the games to the fullest at our bingo hall.
• There is only one type of bingo: Another common assumption surrounding bingo is that there is only one type of bingo. Truth is, there are many different formats of the game including 90-Ball Bingo, 75-Ball Bingo, 80-ball Bingo, Mini Bingo, Pattern bingo etc. And, now you can also enjoy electronic bingo at our bingo hall in Texas.
• The games are fixed: A big misconception about bingo is that most games are already fixed.  Where as in actual, neither the house nor the players can pre-determine the winning numbers. If you plan on winning bingo, you must focus on the strategies, take you emotions in control, and learn from your mistakes.

These bingo games are fun for many reasons- besides the sheer bliss of playing, there’s a mysterious lure of jackpots and cash prizes that go in tandem with these games.

Understanding these two versions of bingo games may seem like a daunting challenge for the beginners. We, at Texas Charity Bingo are here to help you level-up your knowledge and make you ready for your first bingo experience. So, let’s delve into the mysteries of electronic and paper based bingo games and find out what they have in store for you:

• Paper Based Bingo Games: These bingo games require you to purchase or book a pre-printed traditional bingo paper. This paper contains 5X5 grids with 24 numbered spaces, one free space in the middle and three security features i.e. color, serial number and card verification number. A few bingo papers you are most likely to encounter while playing paper based bingo are 1 bingo card face on a sheet, 3 cards on a sheet, 4 cards on a sheet and 6 cards on a sheet. The basic rule is that the numbers will be drawn at random one at a time. All you need to do is mark the corresponding numbers on your bingo paper in order to complete the winning pattern. The player who completes the pattern first is declared winner.
• Electronic Bingo Games: This type of bingo games is similar to paper based bingo games in many ways. Both the games have same basic set of rules but instead of purchasing a paper and daubing numbers on it; you are required to buy a receipt slip. Once you have purchased the receipt, you can log into the electronic bingo, buy the bingo cards on its electronic terminal and daub the called numbers on the machine. One major advantage of electronic bingo is that it allows you to play multiple cards at the same time. Some of the popular electronic bingo games are hand held bingo and video bingo.
