Electronic bingo is the latest addition to bingo games, introducing the world of high technology and computers in a user-friendly manner to bingo. They enable a person to play more bingo cards that is manually possible, increasing the chances of winning.

Electronic bingo games are played just like paper bingo games, except when a number is called the user may play in "Manual Mode" (enter the number & change games) or "Smart Mode" (simply touch the "enter" key) instead of marking the number on a paper card.

Sunset Bingo uses electronic machines called PHD'S (not pictured). These are full color touch screen handsets that track all of your bingo cards in play each game.  They also track the different colors on the Planet Bingo games.

PHD'S are easily played by all bingo players. It doesn't matter if you're a bingo expert or a first time player. PHD'S are played by all types of bingo players.

The minimum cost to play the PHD'S is $20.  Prices will vary somewhat depending on the session and how many cards you wish to play. The PHD'S allow a player to play up to 750 cards per bingo game.

The prizes for electronic bingo are the same as regular bingo.

Here's how to play the PHD'S:

1. Pick up a list of packages that can be played on a PHD and decide which one you want to play or you can build a PHD  just the way you want it ($20 minimum).

2. Ask the bingo cashier to load the package into a PHD machine.

3. Choose to either play in "Manual Mode" or "Smart Mode." 

4. In "Smart Mode" simply touch the "Enter" key after each ball is called.  The games will change automatically.

5. In "Manual Mode" touch the number keys then "Enter."  You must change games manually.

6. Sit back and prepare to yell BINGO!
