3 The GameTech EDGE Bingo System is a comprehensive operational software platform that enables bingo management and staff to efficiently run, monitor and report bingo games in real time. Players can play with traditional bingo paper, use electronic client devices that receive real-time data from the server, or use both simultaneously. The devices immediately display such information as called bingo balls, winning cards, and a variety of other bingo data. Our electronic bingo daubers enable players to play substantially more bingo cards than they can play on paper cards, typically leading to a greater spend per player and higher profits per bingo session for your hall.
