ABOUT MY THREE BINGO GAMES

(0)
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
