Bingo is certainly one of the games that is easy to play on the planet; what you need are bingo cards and chips, the ability to know the numbers, fast eyes and a prize, even children can do it.
Game Objective:
The object of the game is to accomplished the pattern called for in a certain game with the minimum number of calls. Before the game, the pattern to be formed is first determined, it can either be a full vertical, a diagonal, an X, or a box, or or what is called a block out, where all the numbers in the card should be filled.
Bingo Card
The card Bingo uses has five letters (B, I, N, G, O) at the the top indicating five columns. Each of the column has its own set of number combinations ranging from 1 to 75.
The B column has numbers from 1-15, the I column has numbers, 16-30, the N column has numbers from 31 – 45, column G has numbers from 46 to 60, while the O column has numbers from 61 – 75. Each column Each of the column may only have five numbers from their respective range.
The card forms a grid in which the middle grid, the third row of the N column is labeled free, this box doesn’t need to be filled.
The Bingo Game
First you need a Bingo card, which you can have more than one, depending on your labeling ability.
The game starts when the host tells everyone the pattern to be formed.
Listen for the first ball, the host will call out a letter, either B, I, N, G or O, for the column and then a number, e.g. G-56.
See if you have this in your bingo card, then label it at once.
The host continues to announce numbers until someone accomplished the pattern required.
The person accomplishing the pattern should immediately yell bingo! To inform everyone that she has finished the pattern and has won the game.
The host will then verify if all the numbers forming the pattern in the card had been called, either by taking your card, or by you shouting out the numbers that made you form the pattern.
Another bingo game may resume afterwards, aiming for a different pattern or just the same, with same or different prize.
The prize should be immediately given after a Bingo.
Tips
Never shout BINGO if you haven’t accomplished a pattern yet, this stops the games and annoying for other players.
