Is determining whether the ball that drops is required/not required trainable (beyond the trivial matter of knowing the rules), or is it something that good players can do straight off?
I've watched 70 year old women plough ££££'s into em. These women can run 12 bingo cards at one go so I guess the answer is it's easy until you have to rely on the things actually dropping....
In my humble opinion the makers should be done for misrepresentation.

I played this a while back, and thought the skill was learning the card so you could accept or reject really quickly. After many plays I now have a certain Skill Ball Bingo card engraved in my mind, and can accept/reject the numbers in my sleep.
How pleased was I when I stumbled onto a new machine in Blackpool with exactly the same card? Happy days you might think?
40 seconds left, with only three balls left. One for each of the three winning lines. None bounced in, and after 40 seconds of wasted time I won nothing.
