Reality TV Pushes the Boundaries
A new reality TV concept means that at home viewers could win prizes, cash, and
more just by watching and playing a new bingo reality TV show. Reality TV is the
new craze for television networks, and SkyVegas, an online casino television
station has proven successful in the UK. So as a result, ABC has designed a new
reality show that centers on an online casino Bingo-type game that involves both
the studio audience and at home viewers in a Bingo competition.
And though online casino gaming through the internet is illegal in the United
States, this concept is completely different. All players have to do to qualify
to win the prizes is participate through ABC’s Web site, and watch the show. Now
that players are unable to gamble at the online casinos, studio executives are
betting that they are just itching to get back into the swing of things, even if
it isn’t really gambling.
Basically, the shows concept pits the at-home player against the studio
audience. The players, online and from their television, are watching the show
and trying to accumulate a certain number of predetermined points before anyone
in the audience get Bingo. There are also options for winning additional prizes
such as guessing the next bingo number and so on, but that is the gist of this
new reality show.
Then of course, the network gets an added boost when players visit the online
Web site to print out the weekly bingo cards.
