How the Game is Played

1) You buy a card (or more) with numbers printed on it.
2) Numbered balls are drawn out of a machine and called out loudly.
3) You cross off each number on your card that was called out.
4) The first person crossing off a certain pattern this way (a straight line or similar) shouts "Bingo" and wins.

The Cards

Generally, on arrival at the bingo hall, you buy your card, a few cards or a book of bingo cards at the book-sales counter. Each book usually consists of five to eight colored bingo tickets, each color corresponding to a different game.

Of course you can buy books with six or 12 or more tickets, as well. Bingo cards are usually the "throwaway" type but you may find the "permanent" type as well: hard-plastic or cardboard with sliding windows over each number.

How To Play BINGO

Patterns

Bingo games are played out in many patterns, the most basic being a straight line in any direction: vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Other patterns include the four corners of the bingo board, or shapes such as the letter T.

A coverall bingo game is one in which bingo players win when all of the numbers on their bingo card have been selected. The bingo caller will announce the selected pattern for each bingo game before it starts.

The Numbers

There are 75 lightweight bingo balls, each printed with one of the letter/number combinations. They are encased in either a ball cage or a glass blower where they can be spun around to ensure that each pick is random and fair.

Some gaming houses may forgo this process and use a computerized random bingo number generator. After a bingo ball is selected, its number is announced by the bingo caller and displayed on an electronic board for all of the bingo players to see. The bingo caller then places these called bingo balls into a separate tray to ensure that they will not be selected again.

This process of selecting and calling bingo balls is repeated until one or more bingo players cover the selected pattern for that bingo game and shout out, "Bingo!" A floor person or checker is then responsible for verifying that the pattern is correct and that the numbers on the bingo card match the numbers that have been called.

If these numbers correspond, then the bingo game is closed and the winner is declared and the prize is paid out. If more than one bingo player has won, the prize money is split up into equal parts.

Online Bingo

When playing online, your bingo cards are randomly selected for you. Most online games give you 3 or 4 cards. Other games let you take more. Every online bingo game has a caller or a display board for the bingo numbers. The game pattern is also displayed. Some games automatically mark the numbers on your card for you.
