Bingo Essentials For Beginners

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

With so many options for bingo equipment, we found this article helpful in describing the basics.  While some bingo equipment, like bingo cards, are critical, others are a nice-to-have.  The article includes price ranges for things like bingo balls, bingo cards, daubers, masterboards and more.

Also, if you’re starting up a game, we suggest taking a look at used bingo equipment.  Many bingo suppliers sell refurbished equipment at a great discount, enabling you to get your game started with the option to upgrade later.

Here’s an excerpt:

“In a bingo game, the most important ingredient is the bingo cards. In buying bingo cards, you can go for sheets of paper bingo cards or hard bingo cards. Paper bingo cards have some terms such as 3 on 5 up. That means 5 sheets of paper with 3 bingo cards. The hard bingo cards are more expensive than the paper bingo cards. The good point with hard bingo cards is that it can be used several times without being worn out. On which to which are better for your purposes, that depends on you.

Then we go to bingo balls. These are those things that carry numbers. Bingo balls come in different sizes and price. A set of bingo ball can go from $15 to $250. Purchase one along with your budget and preference. Just make sure that ones you bought fit the cages or bingo blowers perfectly.

Next, we need something to contain our bingo balls: namely the bingo cage. You use a bingo cage in drawing the bingo balls randomly. Some say this is the most costly bingo supply you need to buy. The price ranges for bingo cages are at $60 to $200. Well, if you have a really big, big budget for bingo equipment, you may like bingo ball blowers that cost around a thousand dollars.”
