Bingo is a Fun Game
There is little or not mental or physical strain on the player. The most straining thing the player has to do is to sit in front of her personal computer, if she is playing online. there is no playing skill or strategy involved in the game. The player wins because she is lucky, not because of the way she plays the game. The game of bingo is basically mechanical. A randomly selected number is announced and the player, or the software if the player is playing online, marks the numbers where they appear on the tickets, hoping to be the first to complete the required pattern and win the game. There is no skill or playing strategy that the player can use to improve her chances of winning. If she plays online, she can sit and watch the software mark the numbers and rearrange the tickets as they become closer to bingo.
This leaves the player free to play the side games or to take part in chat room activities, both of which add to the fun of playing at the site. Side games can include various slots games, video poker, instant games, table games and arcade games with the selection and number varying from site to site. Not only are they fun to play, the provide the player with additional opportunities to win. Many bingo sites have players who score big wins on the side games.

Bingo is a form of entertainment and the cost of playing is treated as the cost of entertainment. Any winnings help offset the cost of playing and they play the game because it is fun.
