Bingo Chat Games
Online bingo provides great entertainment for the young and old, male and female alike. Most online bingo sites provide additional entertainment through their bingo chat rooms where players meet to converse and play bingo chat games.
Bingo chat games are organized and handled through a chat host. Chat hosts are often called chat leaders or chat moderators (CH, CL, or CM). The chat host will announce what bingo chat games are being played, how to play them and what the prizes will be. Prizes for bingo chat games are typically bonus dollars which are added to the bingo player's account. Bonus dollars cannot be withdrawn but can be used to play bingo.
The online bingo community has many similarities in its bingo chat games as well as some chat games that are individualistic to their own site. The objective to this article is to give the online bingo player some idea of the bingo chat games that are played.
Many online bingo sites play some form of Races. Some of the variations of bingo races are horse races, train races, snail races and ladybug races. The concept is the same. The object of the game is for the bingo player to pick a number from the first row (B row) or the last row (O row). Using the bingo ball called board, the number that completes the row of numbers called across from it wins. Most bingo sites will pay for the first 3 completed rows.
Another popular online bingo chat game is Keno or Lotto. To play either of these games, bingo players are required to submit a chosen number of numbers to the bingo site. These numbers are entered into a database on behalf of the bingo player. When it is time to play the bingo chat game of Keno or Lotto, the chat host will explain how many of the called balls will be used. The object of the game is to match as many of your numbers to the set number of balls called. An example: Using the first 20 bingo balls called; match 3 or more of your keno/lotto balls to win bonus bucks.
Some of the other common bingo chat games played at many of the bingo sites are games such as alpha bingo buds (all players with the same first letter as the bingo winner will win), nabors (using the chat list, the bingo players name above and below the winner will win bonus bucks) and lucky number (choose a number 1-75 and the first couple of bingo players that have their number called wins). There are many variations of these games as well such as double nabors; twisted nabors and birthday (use your birthdates instead of lucky number).
All online bingo sites have WebPages which contain their bingo chat game schedule. If you cannot find the schedule on their website, enter the bingo chat room and ask the chat host. Good luck and have fun!

Smoking ban still applies to bingo halls
A Jefferson Circuit Court judge has stuck down a district court order that prohibited the Louisville Metro Health Department from enforcing the city’s old smoking ban in bingo halls.
A district judge had ruled in April that the bingo halls are private clubs and exempt from the ordinance.
But in a Dec. 28 ruling, Jefferson Circuit Judge W. Douglas Kemper ruled that District Judge Sheila Collins exceeded her authority in striking down the ordinance as it relates to bingo halls.
He ruled that state law only allowed her to determine if the Louisville Metro Code Enforcement Board of Appeals acted arbitrarily.
The Jefferson County Attorney’s office only obtained a copy of the Circuit Court order this week.
Kemper effectively ruled that if the bingo halls want to challenge the ordinance, they must file a separate suit in Jefferson Circuit Court.
Kemper remanded the case to district court and ordered the judge to make a finding as to whether the code enforcement board acted arbitrarily.
Whatever the final outcome of the case, it will probably not matter in July, when a new smoking ordinance takes effect that bans smoking in virtually every work place.
