Bingo Call-Outs are the nicknames associated with all of the numbers (1 – 90) called during live bingo games. These nicks are usually derived from history, or they can also be simple rhymes going with a specific number. For instance, the number 21 is called the Royal Salute, referring to 21 Gun Salutes performed to honor national heroes or events.
However, in recent years the new generation is deriving new nicks and slangs as bingo call-outs. Therefore, there is an all-out war of words going on between Generation X and Millennials – play your favourite slots and casino games.

Do the New Rhymes or Bingo Call Outs Make any Sense?
Well, the answer depends on who you are going to ask. For Millennials, the answer, of course, is yes because some of the previous call-outs might be offensive for this century. For instance, ” Two Fat Ladies or Fat Lady with A Stick” are not funny at all; therefore, changing them does make a lot of sense.
