Bingo vs. Speed Bingo; Does the Speed Thrill or Kill?

Bingo has been played since the early 18th century and it remains popular and widely in demand until today. Some of the most exciting factors about Bingo are that Bingo is, with Slot machines, the only game that is decided by pure luck and that the chance of winning at Bingo is as great as the chance of hitting a jackpot in the national lottery. In Bingo everything is preset, so the player itself only has the control over their own daubers. Over the decades, another Bingo version has become popular which is called speed Bingo. Let us compare which Bingo game draws more attention to itself; the slow poke or the speedy Gonzales.

Both games are ironically played exactly the same except for the fact that the chance of winning is far greater in speed Bingo than in regular Bingo. Speed Bingo is being played at a quicker rate than normal Bingo and the Bingo combination in speed Bingo can already be as low as three numbers. The speed plus the fact that three winning numbers are enough to make a Bingo gives the first point to the speed Bingo game.

Now we will examine both games in terms of the social standpoint. You are generally discouraged to talk or chat in a Bingo game, but sometimes we just cannot help our nature and we simply have to talk. The problem with speed Bingo and socialization is that you simply have to put too much attention to the quick reading of the balls or else you will find yourself lost in the game. In the regular Bingo on the other hand, there is enough time between each calling to come up with a conversation or a little small talk, which makes the normal Bingo a better game and place for socialization.

Speed Bingo is the ideal Bingo game for the rather busy people as it fits their lifestyle, but speed Bingo can even add up to the overall stress that a person is experiencing. It may be fun for advanced Bingo players, but Bingo is supposed to be a rather relaxing game with a friendly environment and not a stress inducing fast pacing game. The normal Bingo player can take all the time in the world and it makes the game more fun and wholesome if anticipation is being built up.

We therefore conclude that speed definitely kills in terms of the Bingo game. Speed Bingo should definitely stay on its place as a pre and after Bingo game.
