Author: The Bingo Dauber is the one piece of equipment essential to a game of bingo. Once you have your dauber, you are armed and ready to mark you card and then hopefully shout out ‘Bingo!’ – You can read the latest games here and get some more useful information about Online Bingo games.
Bingo daubers or markers, come in all shapes and sizes. There are simple sophisticated ones, brightly coloured ones and novelty ones. I once had a Betty Boop dauber and it was definitely the talk of my bingo table!
The daubers are designed to be easy to keep hold of for long bingo sessions. So a curved shape is common, and you can even get ones that have a little luxury of padding. However, nearly all bingo markers need to be shaken before they are used so that the flow of ink is not stumped. The ink itself will tend to be a light colour so that the number being marked is still visible. The most common colours are red, green, yellow, blue and pink.
A great deal of research has gone into the bingo dauber. To many it just looks like a pen, but is far more than a pen. Many inventers have spent a lengthy amount of time finding the right flow of ink, the correct tip width, and the internal structure. All these things are essential in providing the best possible daubing device on the market.
The most important thing is the ink, as it needs to be a clear mark that can be done at a high speed. There should be no mess, so that there is no overspill onto other numbers and it has to be translucent enough to see the number underneath. Nowadays daubers do exactly that, as there have been people working on this pen for years and years. You can find them anywhere and they will all have a good flow of ink. These days it’s all about the outside of the marker, which will define your bingo persona.
