The Broke Bingo Addict Shari Flaugher

As has been mentioned before, today's bingo is not your grandmother's bingo. It's more than just a bunch of little old ladies in the church recreation room.  It's made up of all kinds of people, including men, women and children. One of my favorites is Don, who goes by @datdammdaddiii on TikTok. He has such a fun, joyful personality and it's great to learn more about him.

Everyone loves to yell bingo, but sometimes it's not in the cards. No pun intended. So what to you do when you're riding a losing streak. Do you take a break from playing or do you just keep going? Check out some of the ways Bingo players try to change their luck.

Whenever there's a large group of people, it includes a large group of personalities. This is definitely the case in the bingo community, particularly when it comes to making noise. Some people like to yell bingo loud and proud, some people like to get rowdy when certain numbers are called, while others like to stay on the mild mannered side. No matter what the style, we all love bingo and need to be respectful of one another. Just saying. 

As one of the most popular games across the globe, a British website called hityah.com compiled a list of 50 bingo facts. Some of them are specific to online bingo, but they are all interesting. Some of them are even surprising. Wait until you hear #47. 

Pulltabs, pulltabs and even more pulltabs! That's one of my takeaways from the recent Bingo Palooza 2024 held at H-Town Bingo in Houston. Another one is fun, fun, fun! More than just bingo, these types of events are also about traveling to new places, meeting new people and finding new ways to enjoy bingo.  Check out some more details in this episode.

It never ceases to amaze me how much there is to still learn about the bingo community. Going up North to play was an eye opening event. During that trip, the multi-talented Crystal Rice brought some interesting differences to my attention. In this episode,  we chat about her experience with bingo, including her explanation of "Bingo Math."
