B-14, I-29...BINGO!

While my mom was here we wanted to do something a little different, and wound up playing bingo at a casino.  When I was a kid I remember going to bingo with my mom and grandma.  We used bingo chips and a magnetic wand, oh my, how things have changed.  Like everything else, bingo has been computerized.  Yup, now most people play bingo using these electronic boards.  You don't even have to do anything.  You just sit there and watch it do the work for you.  It dings when you're one number away from a bingo, and then flashes bingo if you win.  You can have upwards of 10 cards on these machines! 

Mom and I opted for the old fashion route, and bought paper bingo cards.  We thought we would get too bored with the electronic ones, well we quickly realized why so many people like the electronic boards.  The games they play are crazy.  What the heck is a crazy kite? A broken frame? With a computer you don't have to know, it does it for you lol.

The bingo package we bought had us playing bingo for hours!! This place was packed.  I had no idea bingo was still popular.  There must have 300 people there!  Jason spent most of the time out in the casino, but eventually he got bored and joined us lol. 


On the upside, I won!  Jason won a little on the slot machines, and mom....well...she didn't do so hot, but we had a good day!
