The Need for Speed

30 January 2012

Quite a few bingo sites have jumped on the Speed Bingo band wagon. The concept of Speed Bingo is that one number is called every second. In many cases this causes each game to last no more than one minute since it’s fairly common for a game of 90 ball bingo to be completed within 60 calls. The jackpots can be fantastic and players have a choice to play 75 ball bingo or 90 ball bingo. It’s no wonder players are flocking to this new wave of the game including traditional bingo players but how is Speed Bingo affecting the industry?

Pattern of Play

Speed Bingo has influenced the way many players approach online bingo games. Although the ante has been upped on the convenience factor of online bingo, there are still players that simply don’t have time to play. I know it’s crazy but unfortunately, it’s true. Speed Bingo takes a fraction of the time of a regular game. That means that more and more folks can continue to be players and manage to work a few games into their days. A quick fix gives us just the boost we need. Speed Bingo is a Godsend to those of us with limited free time.

Social Aspect

Online bingo does bring a sense of community to the game with chat functionality and games. Roomies can talk to each other as well as participate in special chat offers and even get their questions answered by a host. There are concerns that Speed Bingo will reduce the attention to this aspect of a bingo site. Does faster bingo equal less socializing? It certainly is possible if players are taking part as a matter of convenience. If we barely have time for a good old fashioned game of bingo then there certainly isn’t time to chit chat with the roomies or take part in any games.

Speed Bingo still has quite a ways to go in terms of saturating the market. It’s not found everywhere but there are many players taking notice. In our busy day to day life there must be time for bingo and if that means playing it at the speed of light then I say get it whenever and wherever you can!
