How To Play The Game Of Bingo?

Answer 1

Bingo is a very popular game. Many groups, organizations and churches use bingo games to raise money. There are also professional bingo establishments in some states. The odds of winning are not with the player, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to win.

If you are going to play bingo you need to know how to play the game. There are bingo cards and each card has the letters B I N G O across the top. Then each column has numbers. The number for the letter B are #1 through #15, the numbers under the I are #16 through #30, under the N the numbers are #31 through #45, The letter G’s numbers are #46 #60 and finally the letter O has numbers from #61 to #75.

There will be a machine that contains 75 ping pong balls. Each ball has a number on it from #1 through #71. The person in charge of the numbers, who is the caller of the game, will remove one ball from the machine at a time. He will call out the number. If he calls B12, then all the bingo players check their bingo cards to see if they have that number. If they do, each person covers that number with a chip. A chip is a round red plastic disk, but some people bring coins or corn to cover their numbers.

To win bingo you need to either get 5 numbers in a diagonal row, or a horizontal row or any combination of 5 in a row. Since each bingo card has a free space in the middle, you technically only need 4 numbers to be called in order for someone to win bingo. There are special games that are played throughout the evening, such as the four corners game. In that game you need to get the 4 corners on the card covered to win bingo.

The prices at various bingo sites are different, but basically you pay an entrance fee and that gives you one bingo card. You can then buy extra bingo cards once you are inside the bingo area. It is possible to win over $1,000 as one of the big money prizes.

If you are looking for a fun evening, where you and your friends have an opportunity to win money, try a bingo game. I am sure you can find one in your town.
