ABOUT MY THREE BINGO PROGRAMS
I go to Atlantic City New Jersey USA, a resort town
with gambling casinos. They have a free bingo game to
attract people. I played and got interested in Bingo.
Later, the bus I go to AC with, has a BINGO game and you can buy
as many cards as you like.
I wrote a program to keep track of ten cards and successfully
played with it. I call this BUS BINGO.
I wanted more than ten cards. I bought a set of 100 cards
and wrote a similar program. You sell cards or keep track on paper.
It picks the balls, marks the cards and announces a winner.
I call this CLUB BINGO.
Yet a bigger bingo game is CHURCH BINGO. It makes up 1000 cards.
Everything occurs in the computer.
This program gives a part of the winnings to the house (church).
While I never used it; I assume you can sell cards, giving a
raffle ticket as proof.
You then enter the ticket number and the number of cards the person
bought.
It runs several games, figuring the prizes and keeping track.
It announces the winner and keeps a running total of the prizes.
THE VALUE OF BINGO:
Bingo is a number game and subject to speculation about
probability. (I ran 500 million games looking for the best cards.
I made the conclusion that all cards win the same.) There
are at least two theories claiming otherwise.
By computerizing games, they can be done quicker, giving
more data on probability.
GAMBLING IS BAD:
Playing games with play money or pennies teaches the folly
of gambling. It gives an opportunity for parents to teach
about the evils of gambling. Bingo should return exactly
what you bet; if you play enough games.
THE END
This program has 100 cards for a small club setting.
It is a cover the whole card BINGO game.
You sells cards and keep track of who has which cards…
The computer picks the balls, marks the cards and
announces a BINGO.
The program has instructions.
Bingo is often an entre to numbers, statistics and probability.
Millions of people like bingo.
This is a computerized version.
With this program you can set up a charity bingo game.
You sell cards.
Enter the number of cards each person has.
Enter the percent that will go to charity from the prizes.
Automatically play a number of bingo games.
After each, the computer gives prizes to the winner(s).
and shows the cumulative totals.
There is advice against gambling and you should use play money.
Full instructions are included.
WHEN I USED MY CARD MARKER PROGRAM ON THE BUS, IT WORKED.
HOWEVER; IT WAS TOO SLOW BECAUSE I PUT IN SAN UNNECESSARY PAUSE
TO SHOW THE NUMBER OF HITS FOR A NUMBER CALLED.
I HAVE REMOVED THE PAUSE IN THIS VERSION.
THIS PROGRAM SETS UP A BINGO GAME FOR MULTIPLE PLAYERS.
ADVICE AGAINST GAMBLING IS INCLUDED.
IT ADVICES TO USE PLAY MONEY AND BE USED AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH AGAINST GAMBLING.
THIS PROGRAM IS A MATHEMATICAL AMUSEMENT.
NEWTON WOULD BE CAPTIVATED NO DOUBT.
PLAYERS BUY CARDS WHICH ARE MADE BY THE COMPUTER
INTERNALLY. EVERYTHING IS DONE IN THE COMPUTER.
YOU PLAY GAMES WITH THESE CARDS AND THE COMPUTER
CALCULATES PRIZES.

The very definition of a viable country is one that fabricates a profusion of goods.

We must abridge regulations and fire up the innate egotism of manufacturers
to get Made in America.
The picture of a living country is one that produces a lot of goods.
It is false to have a guiding principle that allows importing all your produces.
We must shorten regulations and fire up the native animal spirits of manufacturers
to get Made in America.

Manhattan island was prolific in providing wealthy people who could afford it a rich people enclave.

They were susceptible to ranting protests of the huddled masses.
This presented a knotty problem, solved by a pithy solution.
They lived protected by the own police force!
