It has been a long accepted fact that bingo keeps the mind agile. This has been well researched and well documented. In fact many aged avid bingo players who enjoy the land based version of the game have also said that a regular game of bingo is what keeps their minds young and active. The University of Southhampton conducted research in their Psychology Department that proved staying focused in a game of bingo works synapses in the brain that might otherwise fall into inactivity.
Part of the appeal of playing bingo is the hand eye coordination challenge of the game. Bingo players who have been at it for years know exactly where to find what number on their bingo card, and are able to play multiple tickets in one game. Online bingo brings these skills even more into play, it is the ultimate multi-tasking game, especially if the auto-daub is switched off. Just think, you have to dab your tickets, take note of the online chat going on, and perhaps even play a scratchie or slots game at the same time. Although conducting all these activities concurrently might sound impossible to some of you, there are many people who do just this when they play online bingo. And they do it quite comfortably!
The brain has to process all the information it is receiving at the same time, to keep up with the game, hand-eye coordination becomes a finely tuned skill. The game is lightening fast and the brain receives all the work-out it needs to stay young and agile.
