◆ Our History ◆
B3 Promos has been part of the online gaming world since 1996 — before broadband, before smartphones, before anyone knew what online bingo would become. We launched and operated three of the early pioneering platforms: CyberBingo, BingoSky, and BingoFest.
Together those platforms served hundreds of thousands of players across North America and beyond, helping to define what online bingo could be: social, fair, and genuinely fun. We're no longer operating those platforms — the industry has grown far beyond what anyone imagined — but the passion that drove us then never fades.
Today B3 Promos lives on as a knowledge hub. Nearly three decades of first-hand experience informs every article we publish.
◆ What We Cover ◆
From probability to history — we break down the key concepts every casino enthusiast should understand.
The house edge is the mathematical advantage a casino holds over players. It varies by game — from around 0.5% in blackjack to over 5% in roulette.
Modern online casino games use certified RNGs (Random Number Generators) to ensure every outcome is statistically independent and fair.
Reputable casinos are licensed by regulatory bodies like the Malta Gaming Authority, Kahnawake Gaming Commission, or Gibraltar's GBGA.
Responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion, and reality checks — are standard features at regulated online casinos worldwide.
◆ Trivia & Curiosities ◆
Surprising, strange and fascinating tidbits from the world of casino gaming.
Playing cards were invented in China around the 9th century during the Tang Dynasty — over 1,100 years before the modern casino was born.
The first slot machine, "Liberty Bell", was invented in 1895 by Charles Fey in San Francisco. It had three spinning reels and five symbols.
The sum of all numbers on a roulette wheel (1–36) equals 666 — a coincidence that earned the game its nickname 'The Devil's Wheel'.
Blackjack is one of the oldest casino card games still played today. Its origins trace back to 'Vingt-et-Un' (21) in 18th-century France.
The odds of being dealt a Royal Flush in 5-card poker are approximately 1 in 649,740 — making it one of the rarest hands in the game.
The word 'casino' comes from the Italian 'casa' meaning house. The first legal gambling house, Il Ridotto, opened in Venice in 1638.
The modern six-sided die dates back over 5,000 years. Archaeological digs in Egypt and Mesopotamia have uncovered dice made from bone and ivory.
The four card suits — spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs — are thought to represent the four classes of medieval society: military, clergy, merchants, and peasants.
