message: ??? Bunco Squads of the 1930s were certainly not about parlour games. In this meaning, Bunco is synonymous with Confidence trick, ie, organized fraud, swindles, cons, scams, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.46.26.166 (talk) 14:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited reference from the world bunco association says otherwise; I have cleaned the text up to make it clearer (I hope). If there are other references citing different origin of the "squads", bring 'em! -- B.S. Lawrence (talk) 01:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: bunco squads

message: "It is especially popular among Mormon women, presumably because it is complete chance and therefore less insidious as a form of gambling." - Is there a source for this statement?  I recommend it be removed if a source can't be provided. 67.186.240.199 (talk) 20:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the article at least provide some semblance of a description of the game, or a rough overview of the rules? -- 92.231.117.179 (talk) 09:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rules overview? 

message: Current ref #3 is to http://www.pginvestor.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=104574&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=815622 (see above), where one reads:
In the past year, over 59 million women have played Bunco and over 27 million play regularly.
Note, the source claims not that over 27 million people play regularly, but that 27 million women do. I am changing the text in the article accordingly to reflect the claim provided in the source, not the political or feminist convictions of the earlier editor.101.163.7.168 (talk) 02:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Number of women who play Bunco (in the USA)

message: In the paragraph, "Renewed popularity" it says, "As it is played today, bunco is a social dice game involving 100% luck and no skill (there are no decisions to be made)".
Then in the last pargraph, "World championship" the article describes someone as being "one of the premier players in the Northeast."
But logically and sensibly, how can there be "premier players" in a game "involving 100% luck and no skill", unless cheating is taking place ?   Sincere serious question. Darkman101 (talk) 00:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Premier Players" ? 

message: I just wanted to disclose that I am an employee of Yapping Moose and I added a link in the external links section to a place where you can play online for free.  This is my first time using Wikipedia, so please forgive me if this is questionable.  Our intention at Yapping Moose is to grow the online Bunco community. My initial edit pointed directly at the game on facebook.com, but a bot removed that so I linked to the game via our website, which is probably better anyway as there will soon be versions available on several other platforms.  In making the game free, we believe we can help many people learn the rules and how to play Bunco.  Eburnside (talk) 19:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
