Know Your Bingo Lingo

So you have your online Bingo software running and now you are raring to play your game (after placing your bet, of course). Before the game starts, another player chats with you and…uh oh. You're stumped. He typed out something that you couldn't understand.

 

Before you check if there's something wrong with your online Bingo software or contact that developer friend of yours for some translation help, check out these Bingo terms that are often used in online bingo chat.

As you can see, Bingo lingo is composed of abbreviated words and acronyms (usually a combination of letters, numbers and/or symbols). These were invented in order to send a shorter message, considering the time and space limitations of the chat room.  There are more than a hundred of them and probably they're growing by number in every day.

 

Bingo lingo becomes easier to decipher and understand as you play more of the game and chat more often. Online Bingo players are coining up new and more creative acronyms and abbreviations every day. You don't need an expert to comprehend Bingo lingo. Even online Bingo software developers don't know some of the words. Only the hardcore chatters do!

 

Maybe one day some developer might make a compilation of online Bingo and casino games lingo and produce a Wiki of some sort. But until then, there is only one way to learn them. Just play the game and chat away!  Have fun!
