**Guest Post** A New Way to Take Five

  by  MyTudut 

There are often times in the day when you’re at home with the kids when you just want five minutes to yourself. But, if you’re like almost every other mum at home on the planet, the last thing you do with spare time to hand is spend it on yourself. There’s always something more useful to do, such as putting a load of washing on, doing the ironing or sorting out the arts and crafts cupboard.

But taking a selfish break can really do you the power of good now and then, and one way to do that is to do something that’s fun and entertaining for five minutes instead of doing something useful. A new way that I’ve discovered to do this is to play online bingo. Now bingo isn’t a game I’ve ever really played until recently, and to be honest, I had a few preconceived ideas about it. I thought it was dull and designed for old ladies – until I actually tried playing it.

But I was wrong! It is great fun and I’ve met some really interesting people playing bingo online. The great thing about playing bingo online is that you can play it at any moment, so it’s perfect for those times when you suddenly find yourself at a loose end. There are so many bingo sites and all of them have game schedules that run round the clock. For example, you can have a game of online bingo at bgo – and in the time it takes to log onto the site, there’ll be a game about to start. bgo is a site that also has lots of other games to play, like Vegas slots and casino games, and there’s a great welcome bonus of 200% when you make an initial deposit. What this means is that if you open an account with £10, you actually get £30 to play with, so you can be off to a winning start even before you’ve chosen which game to play!

Part of the fun of playing online bingo is that it’s so easy. The format is the same as the original game – you have a card with a series of numbers on it and as the game is played numbers are called out. The aim of the game is to be first to get all your numbers on your card marked off – to be in with a chance of winning all or some of the jackpot. And when you play online there’s no need to concentrate on the numbers as you would in land-based bingo halls – as the software marks your numbers off automatically. 

This leaves you to have the chance of winning a great cash prize, but free to chat with other players at the same time. With millions playing bingo every day online, there are always interesting people to chat to in the online bingo chat rooms. Everyone’s excited and cheerful, as there’s the possibility that any of them might win a life-changing amount of money at any moment. And if not, well, so what? You’ll still have had a few minutes of fun and socialising in the process!
