Professor, I think this is for actual online Bingo Halls.
While I have run a free Bingo Hall for a couple of years now, I much doubt it qualifies.
There are some really neat Bingo Halls out there. Wager Junction’s Bingo software is what my players like best – it has walking, talking avatars and a very nice chat function.
You can walk into the hall, sit down at a table and talk to your neighbors, or talk to anyone in the hall via the chat.
It has nice slots too, with more coming, and video poker coming too!
As far as design goes, I see Party Bingo and Bingo Knights as the most popular. But there are a lot of the older big Bingo halls I have never visited – like Gala and Glamour.
As far as profitability – it doesn’t always go with looks or features. It depends a lot on whether the players establish a nice community that welcomes newbies with open arms.
Some of the nicer Bingos have hostesses the same way poker rooms have resident players.
The bingo industry is just starting to emerge – it has been around for a long time and free halls were mostly run to sell traffic.
Phil from Whichbingo has been on the forefront of this for a long time, and he is very knowledgeable.
I remember going to his site years ago to learn more.
Bingo is just coming of age I think…. and once people realize that bingo doesn’t have a casino audience, and that most of those male designers do a lousy job trying to appeal to the ladies, I think it will do very well for all.
