Computers have changed the way we do so many things. Even bingo is being played differently in bingo halls. A person can keep track of a large number of cards that were not possible in the traditional way. More and more people are turning to electronic bingo and online bingo where they no longer need paper cards. They are beginning to enjoy using handheld, portable electronic bingo devices. These devices allow electronic bingo players play dozens of cards at the same time without putting in too much effort.

Electronic bingo minders allow you to double, or even triple, the number of cards you can play with. As many as 20 percent of bingo players use electronic bingo devices in bingo halls. The tracking mechanism of these electronic bingo makes sure that you never miss a bingo even if you are playing with a dozen cards. As soon as the caller calls the number the computer automatically scans the bingo cards of the electronic bingo player to see if there is a match. While many people felt that this way of playing the game gives more chance of winning huge money, thereby boosting the economy, players playing the traditional way are sceptical about it.
