Bingo cruises have been around for some time. In fact, they came in before the rise of online bingo websites. Moreover, even if there are already millions of people who decide to shift their loyalty from social halls to the Internet, there are still thousands who would like to go on a bingo cruise for the following reasons:

1. You get luxury with it. You are not just playing bingo, but you are also able to tour to different places. Simply put, you can have a grand holiday, where, in the end, you can bring home thousands of money with you.

Moreover, bingo cruises are always well-organized. When you are on board the ship, you will have your own accommodation, as well as have the opportunity to use the other facilities. You are not just tied to the bingo halls.

2. You can definitely win. Since the number of bingo players in bingo cruises is definitely fewer than those who are logging in to bingo websites, you have more chances of winning at least a round of bingo. The prizes do not come small as well. Some could even give you thousands, especially if you win the progressive jackpot.

Also known as bingo bonanza, progressive jackpot means that the pot would increase as long as there is nobody who wins a bingo round or once the time allotted is already over. By then, the amount would go back to the minimum, which, fortunately, does not go less than a thousand.

One of the highest prizes that you can win on board a bingo cruise is $80,000. That is onboard the ship known as Splendor. In here, you can participate in the world bingo championship. Every player will be given 9 cards all printed in one sheet. The title “grand prize winner” will be given to the one who can win the most number of bingo regular games. Along with the money, you may get free tickets for the next cruise schedule.

3. You still have time to roam. These bingo games are played when you are out in the open sea, perhaps as a way of having another alternative besides eating meals or looking out on the waters. This way, once you are already on your port of call, you can still have the opportunity to immerse yourself on the sceneries.

How to Become Part of a Bingo Cruise

You have to know that not all cruises have bingo games. Thus, check the ship first if they have one before you decide to book a ticket. You can also go to search engines or their respective websites to determine who among them has one. While you are at it, read reviews to know the best cruise ships these days.

You also have to confirm if their cruise schedule would include bingo games. Others do not have one. Lastly, know the schedule of tournaments, the potential winnings, and the ways on how to get your own cards. You do not want to miss out any of these engaging bingo games.

A lot of bingo halls in the Pittsburgh area have watched their profits go up in smoke following Pennsylvania’s new smoking ban, saying the effect happened almost instantly.

Scott Perkins, of the Holy Spirit Parish, calls the numbers at Wednesday night bingo at the Millvale facility. He said the smoking ban has taken its toll and there have been a drastic drop in players.

“We’ve been losing attendance from 100, down to 30 and 50 people,” said Perkins. “They just lowered the admission fee because of smoking ban. Only nonsmokers are coming right now. That’s what’s supporting us, nonsmokers.”

Local churches and volunteer fire halls said they are also losing bingo money since Pennsylvania’s smoking ban took effect in September. Now, state Rep. Joseph Petrarca, of Vandergrift, is working on a bill to make bingo and other fundraisers exempt. “It does put a crimp in the budget,” said the Rev. Dan Whalen of the Holy Spirit Parish.

Whalen said there’s no denying the dramatic drop in attendance. “There was such a connection there in terms of time,” he said. “You have to believe in some sort of connection. We have to get them back.” Down the street from Holy Spirit at the Bauerstown Volunteer Fire Department, bingo night was canceled after years in existence.

Fire hall officials said it was likely the economy, combined with smoking ban, that led to the fall in people attending bingo night. “But if I know bingo players, it’s probably the smoking, because bingo players will find a place to play bingo,” said Whalen. “They’re pretty adamant about that.” Holy Parish has introduced lower admission fees and smoking intermissions to try to win players back, but now it also hopes Petrarca’s proposed ill will help answer their prayers.

When Platinum Play Bingo player ‘barb40′ submitted her chosen Bingo Ball for Life number, she was not to know that just 6 minutes later she would become the second player to hit this impressive jackpot. She won the bingo game in play for a full-house prize of 10.64 PLUS an incredible 1 000 Bingo Ball for Life jackpot. She hit the full house on her chosen lucky number 8, in 69 calls.

Bingo Ball for Life is an exciting innovation from Platinum Play Bingo, allowing players to own their very own lucky bingo number and even customise their own bingo ball with a chance of winning as much as 50 000 in cash.
The Jackpot started off at 1 000 in week one, and since it was not won in the first week, an additional 1 000 was added to the pool. ‘Xnikkixmk’ was first to hit that Jackpot when her lucky number 47 was the last number called to complete her full house win, she banked 2 000. ‘Barb40′ is the second lucky player to strike it rich.

The prize-pool again sits at 1,000 and will remain at 1 000 for the week, if it is not hit the pool will be increased by another 1 000. Up to 50 000 in cash can be won; and should the prize-pool reach 50 000 without being won, it will be paid out to those that came the closest and then start over.
