Are you ready to turn your living room into a bingo hall and unleash your inner bingo caller extraordinaire? Look no further than the Ideal Electronic Bingo set! I decided to take this game for a spin (or should I say, for a dab) and boy, did it deliver a night of hilarious fun.
First off, setting up was easier than finding a seat in a packed bingo hall on a Friday night. The electronic bingo caller does all the heavy lifting, so even if you’ve never called “B-14” in your life, you’ll sound like a seasoned pro. Just press a button, and voila! The numbers are called out with all the drama and suspense of a real bingo game.
Now, onto the players. We had everyone from Granny Mabel, who’s been dabbing since before bingo was cool, to little Timmy, who barely knew what a bingo card was before tonight. The game is suitable for ages 8 and up, but let me tell you, the competitive spirit is ageless. Granny was out for blood (in the most loving way possible, of course), and Timmy was yelling “Bingo!” so loudly, I think the neighbours might have joined in.
The best part? No need to worry about losing those tiny bingo balls under the couch. This game keeps everything neat and tidy with electronic cards that you can reuse over and over again. It’s eco-friendly bingo, people!
As for the atmosphere, well, let’s just say we had our own bingo hall ambiance going on. The tension during those final calls, the gasps when someone almost shouted “House!” too soon, it was like being transported to a high-stakes casino, except we were in our pj’s.
Overall, Ideal Electronic Bingo is a must-have for any family game night or when you just want to spice up a Tuesday evening. Whether you’re a seasoned bingo veteran or a newbie looking to learn the ropes, this game guarantees laughs, competitive thrills, and maybe even a few friendly arguments over who called “Bingo!” first. Go ahead, give it a try, you might just find yourself yelling “Bingo!” louder than you ever thought possible.
Rating: 5 out of 5 dabs!
So glad I went ahead an ordered this, I didn’t really expect it to be any good. But really is a great little device for great family fun!!!
I printed off alot of extra bingo cards to use, you could just make your own by hand by just copying the card number and the bingo numbers down on square paper.
Only fault I can find with this game is it says you can play one line then follow straight on to full house but you can’t it starts the game all over again once you’ve checked the card for one line, so we just play straight full houses.
But overall for the money it’s fab!
We as a family often have bingo nights but the way we were having callers left an easy way for cheating lol. This is fantastic. Could be a little louder but good value for money.
Bought a few weeks ago for our disability group session where we play board games, draw and now play a few bingo games for small prizes. We laminated the paper bingo cards and we bought see through 19mm counters to place on numbers when called. This saves the faff of having to use markers and rub cards off and the paper bingo cards which are now laminated are now strong. Do this and you will have a great time with the electronic bingo game which you can play at home with friends and family too.
It’s clear and fun for children. Only problem is you can’t do one, two and then continue on to the full house. Each time you need to start again if using the card recognition. As others have said the cards that come with it are recognised by the machine. So you need counters or something so you an use repeatedly, I have laminated them and we use white board pens and clean them after we’ve played.
