Free bingo for Ottawa tonight, online

Free bingo in Ottawa tonight doesn’t depend on a hall’s schedule. In Anubis City the Hall of Seshat runs 75-ball games all evening and all night: buy one to four cards with free debens, and a game starts 20 seconds after the first card is sold. The first line wins 30% of the pot, the full card 70%, and none of it can be turned into money.

Ottawa sits on Eastern time, so a 7 p.m. game here is 2 a.m. in Kyiv for most of the year. Family in Ukraine is easier to reach on a weekend morning: at 11 a.m. in Ottawa it is 6 p.m. there, a good hour for a private poker table or a few bingo cards together. One thing for a bilingual capital: the game is in English, Russian and Ukrainian, not yet in French. Across the river, Gatineau keeps the same clock but is a separate city in the game’s list, with its own score.

Pick Ottawa under My city — the list also has an entry for Ottawa South, which counts separately. The capital’s score in the City of the Week race is the experience of its ten best players over seven days, and it races Toronto, Montreal and every other city on equal terms. Bingo cards earn experience just as poker hands do.
