Ever wonder what it would be like to be a Bingo detective? A super bingo sleuth perhaps? If you've a keen eye and the passion for bingo then the state of South Carolina has a job offer for you!

The state is currently recruiting players to take part in bingo inspections by acting as undercover bingo players. Folks are being asked to go undercover as players to reside in games and help ensure all bingo games are in compliance with state regulations. For any Gamesvillers who reside in South Carolina this may be another opportunity to get paid to play:

Bingo daubers. What are they? Where do they come from?

If you're an online bingo player only (and who would blame you?), you may not be familiar with bingo daubers.

Basically, the dauber is used to mark the numbers on your bingo cards. Prior to the inclusion of daubers as a marking system for bingo, plastic chips were used to mark numbers for bingo cards.

When daubers hit the scene in 1989, they became a very popular choice for players because daubers stamp or paint the number called, where as chips present the risk of being moved or misplaced on the bingo sheet. Daubers come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes and can be special ordered and customized to a player's liking.

Serious bingo players consider all aspects of a dauber to help their game play.

TIP: The ideal dauber must fit snug in the players hand to ensure speed and dispense the correct amount of ink on every daub to create a clean look to the card. But of utmost importance is that a dauber must also display a color that matches a player's mood and personality. After all, it's said that the right dauber can deliver the right amount of luck!

In our very own Bingo Zone players can customize their dauber to sleect what color they'd like to daub bingo cards. Which color do you use? Is it a reflection of your personality?

Everyone knows the song Bingo:

There was a farmer, had a dog, and Bingo was his name-O!
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-O!

Most people assume that Bingo is the name of the dog. But, if you pay careful attention to the lyrics, you'll see that Bingo could be the name of dog OR the farmer!
