Three Eyed Bingo For a New Bingo Challenge

Are you a Bingo player looking for a new challenge? Then you’ve got to check out Three Eyed Bingo. This is a relatively new game to the Bingo world, though the idea has been around almost as long as Bingo.

Here’s how Three Eyed Bingo works. You start with Bingo cards that are just like regular Bingo cards, but with a couple of important differences. In most cases, the cards don’t have a “free” space in the middle, but have a large, staring eyeball. Some players call it funny while others seem to think the eye stares at them while they play! These cards may also have letters rather than numbers, though what’s on the card will depend largely on who sponsors the game.

Instead of trying to cover an entire row like traditional Bingo, you’ll be trying to match a particular pattern. Most online Three Eyed Bingo games set you up with three cards and you have to match that pattern on all three cards. In the case of online Bingo, the pattern will be marked on the card. Note that Bingo halls that play Three Eyed Bingo will typically play with regular Bingo cards because of the cost of printing cards with the patterns marked. You may also be trying to cover up a particular set of letters to spell some word.

Most online versions of Three Eyed Bingo go really fast – a game can be completed in less than five minutes at most sites.

In some cases, those promoting the game may simply use regular Bingo cards. In other cases, the promoters may have “Three Eyed Bingo” on the normal Bingo cards to help players remember that they have a different goal. If the game is played like this, there should be cards posted around the room with the desired pattern clearly marked.

As is the case with most Bingo games, the idea behind Three Eyed Bingo is merely to bring a new aspect to the game. If you play Bingo regularly, you know that this addictive game has an incredible following. But you also know that there are plenty of ways to “spice up” the Bingo game. It might be that games like Three Eyed Bingo are simply more challenging, but it also may be the simple fact that the end requirements are a bit different that has made this a popular game among Bingo players.

Bingo Directory

Bingo Directory

The hardest part of playing online bingo is finding a place to play. With over 100 websites devoted to playing bingo, some for free some for money, it's hard to tell which bingo room best suits you. Finding good people to play is also important to increasing your bingo fun. That's why a bingo directory is a great place to start.

There are two kinds of bingo directories that can benefit your online bingo experience. The first is a directory of places where you can play. A good bingo directory will list all the possible bingo websites, give a summary of the possible ways to play and rate the websites. You start out trying to choose from 100 possible bingo websites. Through a bingo directory you can drastically lower that number to the bingo websites that fit what you're looking for in an online bingo game. The goal is to find three or four bingo rooms that you can try out, like Bingo House, Astro Bingo and Bingo Canada. From there you can easily try out each bingo room and see which one you like.

The most important thing is finding the right bingo directory. It sounds like a catch 22, but the number of websites devoted to rating bingo rooms is much lower than the number of bingo rooms. You're looking for a bingo directory that lists and gives a quick review. If the directory only has five bingo websites than chances are it's just a fluke to draw you to those five websites. If the bingo directory is covered with popups advertising one particular bingo room than it's probably just more free advertising. What you want is a long list of places to play bingo. Not every directory is a scam to get people to one particular website. The right bingo directory can be the key to your online bingo experience.

The second kind of bingo directory is still up and coming. There are over a 100 websites out there, but do you now how many online bingo players there are? Thousands, even more, and if you're a social bingo player than you want to talk to these people, email them, ask them where they play, that's the best way to find a great bingo room. Imagine a directory, like an online bingo phone book, where you can contact other online bingo players. Not only can you meet people, but you can organize to join a particular bingo tournament in mass hoping to push the jackpot bingo up.

Online bingo is growing and there needs to be an easy way to keep track of the growth to benefit both the player and the websites already providing bingo games. Bingo directories are the key, as long as they can be controlled to the point of trustworthy.

Valentine Bingo

If you’re looking for a great Valentine game, why not try out Valentine Bingo? There are several variations of this game and you can certainly spice up the party with the prize box.

There are two basic options for starting your Valentine Bingo game. You can simply use the traditional Bingo cards but use either heart-shaped pieces of paper, candy kisses or heart-shaped candies as Bingo dots to cover the appropriate squares, then add some Valentine goodies as prizes. But to really play Valentine Bingo, you need to start with the cards themselves.

You can print blank cards from any of several online sources or you can create your own Valentine Bingo cards with the help of your home computer. Instead of “BINGO” across the top, choose another word you associate with this season of love. “CUPID,” “HEART” or “LOVEU” are some suggestions. Next, make a list of at least 10 words for each letter. You can make the words start with that letter, or just choose words at random. Next, create a pull card for each letter. If you’re using CUPID as your word, you may have “C – Heart, P – Kisses and D – Love” among your choices.

Finally, you’ll make your cards placing the words at random. Be sure that your Valentine Bingo cards match your pull cards. If you use the word “kiss’ for the C line, be sure that it falls under the “C” on ever card. If you prefer, you can produce blank Bingo cards and allow your player to choose the words they want on their rows from your list. The result will still depend on the random selection of the pull cards, so there’s no way to “rig” a card to win.

Once you’re into the play mode, the only thing left to make your Valentine Bingo a real success is the prizes. Choose sexy gifts and small games, or allow the winner a kiss with another player of his or her choice! It is, after all, the season of love.
