What Was Bingo Orginally Called

Playing Bingo

In the past decade or so, it has been hard to miss the proliferation of, and great success of, the Indian casinos. From their humble beginnings, these great institutions seem to be finally brining the Native Americans the success they so richly deserve, and that they have waited so long to achieve.

These Indian casinos were among the first to recognize the value of offering high money, high stakes, bingo games, and these high stakes bingo games have taken their rightful place among the slot machines and blackjack tables at many a casino.

While many other gaming professionals looked down on bingo, seeing it as an activity for little old ladies in tennis shoes, the early Indian casinos recognized the money making potential, and the excitement of bingo as both a game and a business opportunity.

When the first high stakes bingo halls began to open in Indian casinos around the country, the results were both immediate and spectacular. Soon it seemed casino operators, both Native Americans and non Native Americans, were falling all over themselves to add bingo to their gaming repertoire.

In hindsight, it is easy to understand why bingo was such a big draw. After all, bingo offers plenty of excitement even at the county fair or local carnival. Adding the possibility of big prizes just adds to its appeal, and busloads of seniors and others continue to flock to casinos around the world, lured by the promise of big prizes and easy money.

Many casinos also quite smartly understood that it was a good idea to offer additional prizes and drawings to regular visitors. Turning casual gamblers into regular customers is one of the best ways to increase enjoyment for those customers and profits for the casinos. These regular drawings are a proven way to get more repeat business, and to generate the buzz and word of mouth advertising that is so valuable in any business.

There is no doubt that high stakes bingo is an exciting and enjoyable way to spend an evening, no matter which side of the table you are on. For operators of Indian casinos, high stakes bingo has provided much needed revenue and a higher quality of life, while casual gamblers and regular visitors continue to love the excitement that only bingo can provide.
