Involvement of Kids in Bingo Games

Bingo games have been an integral part of the Britain’s culture. But, the games did not remain confined just to this place but expanded in various dimensions. The games have extended to various parts of the world. Bingo games have even travelled to the former colonies such as New Zealand and Australia. The most popular game in the country has been the 90 ball bingo game also known as housie in Australia. Although, bingo games have attracted players from all age groups but in Australia the games have lured people at a very young age. At local bingo clubs, children are entertained with bingo games and are also offered free meal and drinks. In Australian bingo clubs, children are handed prizes like gift vouchers at bingo events. Children just at the age of 5 are allowed to participate for these games!

Games featured here offer $360 dollars worth of gift vouchers from Toy’ R US. Cost for joining in for these games $10 and also includes free kids meal and drinks. The Club spokesperson Brad Smith stated that South’s Junior is not promoting gambling activities but is teaching children but is actually training the children to improve their skills on numbers.

These games along with the aspect of entertainment also formed a good source of entertainment and a tool for educating the kids.
