Have you ever played online bingo? If you have, you know that it’s a super fun way to spend some of your downtime. Online bingo is easy to understand, easy to learn, and there are loads of chances for you to take home a little prize money if you’re lucky. You can choose from so many different kinds of bingo; there are even options that offer you the feeling of being in a traditional bingo hall like you would in a real life game. It’s the perfect option for a remote games night with your friends, and a great time-waster while you’re sitting at the airport waiting for your flight to board, or while you’re kicking back and relaxing on the sofa.
The question we need you to answer is this: is it better to play online bingo on your mobile device while you’re on the go, or is it better playing on your home PC on a bigger monitor? Let’s check out the pros and cons and see if we can figure it out.
Playing bingo on mobile
Playing online bingo on your mobile device means that you can take the game with you wherever you go. Any moment of boredom that you may have during the day can be alleviated at the touch of a few buttons! All you need is a stable internet connection and you’re good to go. Since your phone goes with you literally everywhere you go, you’ll never be short of entertainment. We advise that you carry your headphones with you if you like listening to the sound effects when you play: people on public transport and park benches rarely like to hear someone else’s loud sound effects when they’re trying to enjoy their commute or a leisurely picnic! If you’re playing while you shuttle from place to place on the bus or during your lunch break in the park, for example, you might get jostled around from time to time and perhaps miss a number here or there. Another issue that you may face is that the screen on your phone might be a little bit small for a game that has so many visuals.
Playing bingo on PC
Playing bingo on your PC at home means that unless you live with friends or family you probably won’t be disturbed at all. That means hours of leisure time on the weekends that could be used for playing bingo or any other online game you choose! In your own home, sitting at your PC, you get to set the tone. You’ve got your air conditioner or heater, curtains that can block out the world or let the sunshine in, all the snacks that your fridge or local delivery guy can muster, and a super comfy chair to sit back and relax in. Also, there’s no one to complain about the music selection, especially if you don your headphones while you’re playing, and the drinks are all made to your liking. You’ll need an internet connection, of course, and your Wi-Fi should be smooth and uninterrupted. You’ll also have the advantage of a far bigger and steadier monitor to use for all the visuals, and you certainly won’t miss anything if there aren’t any TV shows or songs so distracting that they compete for your attention. Another plus is that you won’t have to worry about anyone bumping into you or snatching your phone out of your hands in a public space.
Conclusion
Though which of these options you ultimately prefer will depend on many things (such as your lifestyle, your home computer setup, how much time you spend at home versus how much time you spend out and about), we think that playing at home would be preferable. It seems a lot more comfortable, to start off with, and like there would be far less distractions that might make you miss things happening in the game. The sound and visual options that you would have at home also completely trump the options that you have on mobile! A game of online bingo can be enjoyed however and wherever you choose to play it, but our preference would certainly be taking it easy at home.
