Just what sort of chances and odds does the average UK online bingo player enjoy when it comes to winning the jackpot?

I refer you to an article on one Dr. Oliver Johnston in which he claimed that people participating in the 2002 UK National Bingo Christmas game had about eight times more chance of winning the £1million jackpot than if they bet the same £10 on Lotto. Dr. Johnston’s assertion was based on pure mathematics and showed bingo was a far better bet for scooping the big prize than even sports betting.

Since his 2002 assertions, bingo as a game has been revolutionised in the form of online bingo. People not only get to go for huge jackpots, but they also get to play more often. So the odds for winning in free online bingo games simply gets better due to the more times you can play.

One caveat by the good doctor in making his mathematical observations back in 2002 is that his calculations do not take into account the element of gaming skill. This brings to mind the famous quote by golfer Gary Player who once remarked: “The more I practice, the luckier I get.� Maybe it’s a matter of practice through regular playing that determines who does well at winning at online bingo?
