Despite some minor gripes, Bingo lovers will enjoy this.

A good deal of thought went into the production of this product. The design is attractive to the eye and shaped to be held fairly comfortably in most any size hand. The display is a nice enough size with differently shaded BINGO columns.The game unit is simple to use. Starting a new game is as easy as pressing the Bingo button, unless you want to play a different game variation by pressing the Mode button, cycling from Standard, Pattern, Wild 1, Wild 2 or Multi-Play. It defaults to one card to buy, but you can buy up to ten. One interesting innovation is the use of the dauber included, called the Daubing Stylus; The stylus is used to daub the numbers on the display, to cycle through purchased cards or to choose a pattern when starting a game using patterns. When not in use, it snaps securely in a chamber on top of the unit which won't come out easily so as not to lose it; an excellent touch. The instruction manual is well documented and detailed, but doesn't mention storing of the daubing stylus.The computer voice is audible, but a little tinny and could stand to be a bit louder. The voice calls out the numbers which also appear at the top of the display and exclaims "Bingo" when you have it, but make sure you do have it or it'll cost you! The sound effects are pleasant and are sometimes quite humorous, especially daubing a number or trying to daub a number that wasn't called. Music is surprisingly nice on the ears.The game variations are interesting, the patterns to me are more appealing than the Wild Mode; you will need more than one Bingo depending on which of the two wild modes you play. Multi-Play is good for families and friends; Bingo cards and markers are included for use while the unit calls numbers. Volume control has three settings versus on/off in single play. The included cards and markers are a bit flimsy; both made of cheap cardboard and the cards are a garishly lime green making the numbers not too easy to see. Except in Multi-Play mode, there is no record of what numbers were called in case you are distracted and miss one or more, but the Auto Daub button compensates; when pressed, it will not only daub a number just called but others that were called previously. Care must be taken to not accidentally press "Bingo" when pressing Auto Daub during play, lest you prematurely call Bingo and lose points. The unit is also limited to calling 45 numbers in all modes except multi-play, which operates the most like a regular Bingo game. Except for these few complaints, Talking Bingo is fun to play, but I recommend a different set of cards and markers for group play.

By Diane Lawerence
I bought this product to be used in a nursing home so they didn't have to listen to balls rolling in that cage. The caller loves it, the residents love it because they call different numbers each game and not the same numbers all the time. Overall it's great.Thank you.
