Electronic “Linked” Bingo. Electronic “Linked” Bingo is much like the electronic pull-tabs. It will be played on a hand-held device that can play up to 36 bingo cards electronically. It will be played on a separate machine from the Electronic Pull-tab machine (described above). Electronic bingo games are quite similar to Class 2 slot machines. All machines are connected to a server, where all the money collected from them goes into a single pool. Then, a portion of it gets returned to a lucky winner who is a just random player. So, whatever amount of money you win, someone else loses it. The E-Max Express is our most popular bingo console, featuring an integrated design, intuitive operation, and the latest technology. The highly reliable E-max Express offers simplicity and sophistication with its ease of use, advanced programming capabilities, and multi-level security features.
eBingo is a new electronic way to play Bingo. Instead of using a dauber and paper cards, eBingo is played on an electronic touchscreen that automatically daubs the numbers for you. This makes it a great game for beginners just learning how to play. Play it instead of traditional paper bingo or at the same time.
Just like paper bingo, players must match the numbers on their electronic cards to those called. The first player to match all numbers in the requested pattern and yell “Bingo!”, wins.

Set your budget. If you’re playing eBingo in addition to paper bingo, remember to account the additional costs in your entertainment budget.
Enter your player ID. Touch anywhere on the terminal screen to begin.
Select the “BUY CARDS” button. You can play multiple electronic cards at one time.
Select the “PLAY BINGO” button. Numbers will automatically be daubed (be marked off) as they are called. All you need to do is follow along. Learn more about playing bingo.
Yell Bingo! The screen will let you know if and when you have a Bingo.
To play eBingo, you’ll need to purchase electronic credits from the Customer Service Representative at a point of sale counter. Plan how much you want to spend in advance, so you don’t go over budget. This will allow you to stay focused on having fun.
When you purchase your electronic credits, you’ll be assigned a player account. To access it, use the keypad on screen to enter your player ID (found on your receipt) and the password you entered at the point of sale when purchasing credits. Your player ID and password allow you to access your credits at any eBingo terminal.
You can view up to 12 eBingo cards at once. To purchase your cards, select the number of cards you wish to play from the “BUY CARDS” screen and hit “Buy”. Remember, the more cards you play, the more you increase your cost to play.
As numbers are called during the bingo session, the computer will automatically daub the numbers for you on all your cards. All you need to do is watch your cards to see if you have a Bingo.
While the eBingo screen will let you know when you have a Bingo, you must touch the BINGO button to acknowledge it. And like traditional paper bingo, you still have to yell Bingo! to alert your caller.

Check out Turbo Challenge Bingo. A modern, electronic version of the traditional shutter-style bingo game. Numbers are called every few seconds, so you better be quick with your shutter finger.
The term bingo machine can have several different meanings – it all depends upon what you are looking for. It could be that you are looking for a simple ball cage for playing at home or for your local village charity event. Or something a little more complex – bingo display boards, blowers or electronic bingo devices. Lets take a look at a few various bingo machine options…..
This is the most basic level bingo machine. You place all your bingo balls inside the cage and turn the handle. One numbered ball will drop out and you call this number (using traditional bingo calls!) before turning again and repeating the process. Simple! The beauty of these is not just the cost but the simplicity of use. No electric connections and practically nothing to break.
Bingo cages are available in a number of different styles and sizes and make great bingo gifts!
This term will cover pretty much all the equipment you would find at a larger venue. Examples of these bingo machines would include basic display boards or blowers, right up to complex machines which organise and run the whole game.
Some of these may be perfect for if you run a regular local village or charity event. Particularly some of the cheaper number display boards which make the whole game that much easier for those who are hard of hearing or if you have a large gathering. They also add that touch of professionalism to the event.
These are simply portable PAs. They are small and compact and certainly perfect for taking from venue to venue. Even the loudest of bingo callers need a little help at times. And it can be a long evening if the game is being played in a large hall with no microphone or PA system!
These are not the kind of bingo machine for small clubs or village bingo organisers. These are the necessary tools for the major bingo halls who are turning more and more to electronic bingo gaming sessions. They may be in the form of a handheld device or a screen / terminal. As a bingo player you would be provided with these when you opt in to play – we certainly wouldn’t suggest the need to purchase one!
