I administer an online bingo site and just had a panicky moment whilst reading that headline. "Security, Bingo? Erk!"

I discovered this security hole years ago at our volunteer fire dept. hall.
I used to call out BINGO without actually having bingo, and at least one time in ten they gave me the prize without even checking my board.

Bingo is associated, at least with me, with an older crowd set. For the more youthful who would enjoy a faster developing game try setting up multiple dhcp servers in the same address range. It would ne the equivalent of Texas holdem.
Entertainment is the only reason I can think of why a sys admin at a clients chooses to set them up that way. Well maybe it is closer to beer pong and the guy is just an idiot...
