With the growing presence of the internet, a lot of traditional activities can now be done online, even games. The traditional Bingo is a game that involves using balls that are numbered and cards that have numbers printed on them. One person calls out the numbers from the ball to the players who have the numbered cards, and each player checks to see if he/she has got the numbers.
