Even though the online bingo community is a ‘social club’ all its own, of course we also want to win that almighty and much coveted jackpot. The only problem is in deciding which one to go for! Some are paid out every game while others continue to grow game after game until someone finally gets to yell (in cyberspeak that’s ‘click’) BINGO! Jackpot prizes range from a few dollars to several hundred and some sites even have progressive jackpots that top $1k. (Of course you’ll need to look for them as each site has different rules.) There are certain tricks you can learn along the way if you are looking to win one of the big ones.
While there are many people who can play several cards at the same time, it is in your best interest to only purchase the number of cards you can comfortably watch while keeping up with the caller. It will do you absolutely no good to try to keep up with 10 cards lined up on your screen if you can’t handle even 5 comfortably. Unfortunately, people believe that if they buy more cards their chances will improve. Yes, this is probably true, but your chances are nil if you can’t daub the numbers as they’re called! Keep in mind that some games move more quickly than others so you will need to gauge the speed of the caller before trying to play too many cards. When it’s time to play for the big one, you will have a better chance of winning the bingo jackpot if you can handle the cards you are playing.
