Bingo!!!

Everybody loves bingo. It's one of those games that you learned how to play when you were a child, and unlike Candyland or Chutes and Ladders, bingo is as much fun to play as an adult as it was when you were a kid. Some might argue that it's MORE fun playing the game as a grownup because you can win cold, hard, cash.

Bingo is also a relatively affordable way to gamble. $20 - $40 at a keno machine is usually gone in a matter of minutes, whereas you can play bingo for a couple of hours with your low-stakes buy-in.
