Bingo is probably one of the easiest game one can play on the planet; what you need are bingo chips and cards, the ability to know the numbers, fast eyes and a prize, children can even play it.
Object of the game:
The objective of Bingo is to accomplished a certain 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 a box, a full horizontal, a vertical, or a diagonal, or or what is called a block out, in which you’ll have to fill your whole card.
The Bingo Card
The card Bingo uses has the letters B, I, N, G and O at the the top indicating five columns. Each of the column has its own set of numbers ranging from 1 to 75.
The B column has the numbers from 1-15, while column I has numbers, 16-30, 31-45 are the numbers for the N column, the G column has numbers from 46 to 60, while column O has numbers from 61 – 75. Each column Each of the column may only have 5 numbers from their respective range.
With the numbers, the cards forms a grid which the middle, the third row of the N column is labeled free, this cell need not be filled.
The Game Proper
First you need a Bingo card, which you can have more than one, depending on how fast you can label them.
The game immediately starts after the host tells everyone the pattern to be completed.
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. I-30.
See if you have this number in your card, then label it.
The host continues to draw numbers until a person formed the required pattern.
The person with a finished pattern should shout BINGO immediately! To inform everyone that she has finished the pattern and has won the game.
The host will then verify all the numbers and their position in your card, either by taking your card, or by you shouting out the numbers that made you form the pattern.
Another bingo game may follow after another, aiming for a different pattern or just the same, with the same or another kind of prize.
The prize should be immediately given after a Bingo.
Note
Never yell BINGO if you haven’t accomplished a pattern yet, this halts the games and annoying for other players.
