“Free Money” Bingo game on Colors TV one more Pappu banao game
If you are a regular viewer of ColorsTV serials like Balika Vadhu etc, you might have seen Amitabh Bachchan promoting his son Abhishek Bachchan’s game show BINGO (sponsored by idea). It looks like Tambola game, which I have seen and played once or twice in festival fairs here in Chandigarh. I don’t why, but I feel some good will association with network18 (TV18) and I became one of the earliest registrant of Bingo game show. A day before the first telecast of show, I received sms from Abhishk (proudly calls himself “Aarami”; sounds like) . I was informed that my tickets were ready to be downloaded from the website http://www1.bingo.colorstv.in. Reading this sms, I promptly logged onto internet. As usual, I forgot the password and was in a lurch, since password retrieval system was not available on Bingo website on that day (now it is available). Somehow, I got my tickets and viewed the show in between swaps, along with other tv serial (already have doubts about tv game shows’ credibility).
On viewing the game show, I noticed the procedure of drawing numbered balls from the big transparent dome. It looked too fishy to be an honest process. The girl who grabs the ball is shown standing behind the slide. From where she picks up the ball? is a mystery. Does someone under the stage hands the prefixed ball to her? Yes, it is possible. “The Criss Angle idiotic tricks effect”. The second glitch is the numbers released on tickets. Numbers can be calculated through permutation and combination with computer and released in a way (by omitting some numbers) to prevent any Bingo win. See how game shows make pappu of viewers.
