The easy game of bingo
August 28, 2008Bingo is one of the easiest games on the planet to learn and play. To play all you need are some bingo cards, bingo chips, the ability to recognize numbers, fast eyes and a prize, even children can do it.
The object of the game is to complete the pattern called for in a certain game with the lowest number of calls. Patterns are determined before the game starts, it can either be a full horizontal, or vertical, a diagonal, an X, a box, or what they call block out, in which you’ll have to fill your whole card.
The Bingo card has the letters B, I, N, G and O across the top indicating five columns. Each column hast a set of numbers 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, the G column has numbers from 46 to 60, and the O column has numbers from 61 – 75. Each column may only have 5 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 cell need not be filled.
To play you first need a Bingo card, you may have more than one bingo card at a time, depending on your labeling ability.
The game starts when the host or tells everyone the pattern to be formed.
Listen for the fist ball, the host or will call out a letter, either B, I, N, G or O, for the column and then a number, between O-75.
Look for this number on your card and cover it with your chips immediately.
The host continues to call out letters and numbers until someone finishes than pattern required.
The person with a finished pattern should immediately call out bingo! 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 patter.
Another bingo game may resume afterwards, either with the same or different pattern, or same or different prize.
The prize in most cases should be immediately given after a Bingo.
