Online bingo is probably the most popular game of chance on the internet with millions of players globally. There are thousands of online bingo websites that offer an infinite number of bingo games. Many of these websites offer astounding jackpots compared to their brick and mortar counterparts. It is now possible to play online bingo from anywhere in the world with internet access.

Recent advances in mobile technology have made mobile gaming a reality and hard core bingo players can now enjoy a game of bingo on their cell phones. Online bingo is no longer confined to desktops and laptops and online bingo players may now play in their cars, (not recommended while driving!) on the bus, on the train, sitting in a café or coffeeshop, in fact almost anywhere there is a mobile signal.

Many online bingo sites are beginning to offer mobile bingo and in the UK mobile bingo is wildly popular. In the US the future of mobile bingo is uncertain due to the passage of the draconian Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The possibilities are endless—imagine sitting on a beach on vacation and winning a $20,000 jackpot by playing bingo on a cell phone!

In the UK many of the major players in the online bingo industry are taking advantage of new mobile technology and are offering mobile bingo to their bingo site members. The latest mobile devices that have higher download speeds and fast wireless broadband will allow players to essentially access the same features on their phones that are normally available on bingo websites. Along with online bingo players will also have the capability to play the various slot games many sites offer.

Rapidly changing technology is opening the doors to all kinds of new entertainment possibilities. Cell phone users have the ability to play poker, blackjack, and many other casino games along with online bingo. In the UK there are already several websites catering to the mobile gaming community and despite the economy bingo is a growth industry. Hopefully in the near future there will be legislation in the US that will allow US players to participate in this extremely entertaining pastime.
