Skill Bingo – the next big thing?
09/05/2008

Skill bingo is a skill based game, played online whereby players can win money. Clearly the difference between the conventional form of entertainment and skill bingo is that the results are determined partially by the capability or skill of the player and not therefore just by chance that the player’s luck is ‘in’.

This way of playing increases user interaction and keeps them player more entertained throughout the course of the game. In addition, this approach to bingo means that a player cannot pre-purchase game cards and then go off and do the hovering while the game is in play and expect to win. Consequently, skill bingo enables people to develop the skills that they can hopefully use to help themselves in future gaming situations. The distinguishing feature between skill and chance forms of gaming differs between countries as the exact translation of each word is viewed unusually and therefore there is no universal interpretation.

Skill bingo has allowed the popular game to appear in pubs all over the country as the nature of this game allows it to replicate the fruit machine; a common feature of the British pub. Previously, bingo would not have been an option while out for a quiet pint with your friends. In this case a certain number of players are not required for a game to take place – the player is solely up against the clock.
