New Mexico Bingo
by Heath on Sunday, March 10th, 2024
New Mexico has a stormy gambling history. When the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was signed by the House in Nineteen Eighty Nine, it looked like New Mexico would be one of the states to get on the Native casino bandwagon. Politics assured that would not be the situation.
The New Mexico governor Bruce King appointed a task force in 1990 to create an accord with New Mexico Amerindian tribes. When the task force arrived at an accord with 2 prominent local bands a year later, Governor King refused to sign the bargain. He held up a deal until 1994.
When a new governor took office in Nineteen Ninety Five, it seemed that Indian gambling in New Mexico was now a certainty. But when Governor Gary Johnson signed the contract with the Native tribes, anti-wagering groups were able to hold the accord up in the courts. A New Mexico court found that Governor Johnson had overstepped his bounds in signing the compact, thereby denying the government of New Mexico many hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing fees over the next several years.
It took the Compact Negotiation Act, passed by the New Mexico house, to get the ball rolling on a full compact between the State of New Mexico and its Indian tribes. 10 years had been squandered for gaming in New Mexico, which includes American Indian casino Bingo.
The nonprofit Bingo industry has grown since Nineteen Ninety-Nine. That year, New Mexico charity game operators brought in only $3,048. That climbed to $725,150 in 2000, and exceeded a million dollars in revenues in 2001. Nonprofit Bingo revenues have grown steadily since that time. Two Thousand and Five saw the largest year, with $1,233,289 earned by the operators.
Bingo is apparently popular in New Mexico. All kinds of providers try for a piece of the action. With hope, the politicos are done batting around gaming as an important matter like they did back in the 90’s. That’s probably hopeful thinking.

Net Casinos vs. Gambling on Bingo
by Heath on Tuesday, March 5th, 2024
Bingo is an extremely beloved past time, in particular with the older generation. Although bingo can be fun at times, most of the time it’s somewhat boring, and the chances of succeeding are somewhat tiny. Bingo is a game of pure luck as you have no say over the outcome of the results. You are given a piece of paper with pre-assigned numbers, and the only thing you can do is pray for the best. That does not sound great does it? What’s a much better alternative to praying you might win competing in bingo? Betting on net casinos! Here are 3 reasons why web casinos are more superior than the game of bingo.
Reason One – Greater Control Over The Results
Bingo is a game of chance. If you are not given the winning numbers when you buy your bingo sheet(s), you will not come away with a win. Internet poker, for example, is the complete opposite. Web poker focuses on skill, and some luck. If you are skilled sufficiently, you will succeed a lot of the time playing online poker.
Reason 2 – A Monstrous Welcome Bonus
I love the concept of gettinga gratis five hundred dollar welcome bonus just for joining a net casino. How often does that arise when you go to wager on bingo?
Reason 3 – A Large Variety Of Engaging Games
Bingo is a very repetitive, and sometimes, boring game. Want to have some fun? The majority of net casinos offer more games than you can poke a stick at! Roulette, slots, poker, and numerous other blinking games with engaging sounds and colors.
If you prefer to gamble on bingo, then I encourage you to keep on playing it. However, if you are wanting a change, and wanting to possibly win a lot more money, then I recommend giving web casinos a chance. They are easy to access, exciting, quick, and very simple to use. Not just that, but you also have a lot of control over the results of your wagers!
