Bingo Dabbing

Bingo is a national treasure, not only in the UK but across the globe. An important aspect of bingo that goes hand in hand with the game is bingo dabbing. If you enter a land based bingo hall you are likely to see many people sitting in silence and focusing on dabbing their bingo cards. Novices, who are not practiced at the art of dabbing, are likely to buy too many cards or expect to be brilliant at spotting the numbers and are unable to keep track of the numbers called out. In cases such as these, many people could miss out on the bingo jackpot.

People who are established bingo players know very well how many cards they can manage at once. This number often increases with dabbing practice. In order to keep bingo cards in check and to ensure that they do not slip off the table, many bingo players will bring masking tape along with them to a bingo game. The tape is used to stick strips of tickets together so that they can maximise dabbing time without the problem of cards slipping.
Bingo dabbing is something of an art form, with each bingo player having a specific dabber requirement. Some might just use a pen, whereas others will use dabbers made specifically for bingo playing in a colour of their choice. The choice of dabber is often based on whether the player has won previously with that dabber or considers a specific coloured dabber to be lucky.

When a mistake is made during bingo dabbing, it is important to highlight this mistake – otherwise you might be caught out shouting ‘house!’ when you actually need one more number. A mistake is usually highlighted by experienced bingo players by dabbing over with another colour. However, most well practiced bingo players very rarely make mistakes when they are dabbing!

Land-based bingo involves an element of skill; all of the above variables mean that it is possible to miss the possibility of winning bingo. In other words, it pays to be a quick-witted bingo player. In the online version of the game, it is different. Although you are able to manually dab your cards, most online bingo websites like Mecca Games will automatically register the winning cards. At the end of the game, even if you’ve missed a few dabs, you won’t miss out if you have the winning card. Another perk of online bingo is the sociable aspect to it.

Playing online bingo with an automatic dabbing function means that there is more time for chatting in the chat rooms that internet bingo sites often provide. Bingo has become less about technique and more about a way to win big and meet new people.
