Bingo Glossary: G-Z
One of the most enjoyable parts of playing Bingo is the strong sense of community that players develop with one another. A key factor in binding the Bingo community together is the common use of Bingo terminology. Though at first it might sound strange, using the Bingo language is a great way to become a true member of your favorite online Bingo site.
