image001.gif

You can play bingo at the Bingo Halls located
in your area. The rules of the game, the payouts and the many ways the game
can be played may vary from place to place. You should be able to find a
brochure at the hall you are at, with the rules of the game.

The players can buy a five by five grid card that has the five letters
for B-I-N-G-O. In the card, the players will have numbers such as B-2
or O-68 (there are 75 numbers in American Bingo and 90 in UK Bingo and
Australian Bingo) The game consist in complete a Bingo pattern. The pattern
are: Five numbers in a row (Vertical, Horizontal or diagonal) But there
are another types of pattern. (Players should check the brochure)

The Bingo card has twenty-four numbers and a blank space at the middle.
The numbers are randomly printed at each card.

In the American version of Bingo the numbers for the B column are between
one and fifteen, in the I column between sixteen and thirty, in the N
column (which has the blank space) numbers between thirty one and forty
five, in the G column, between forty six and sixty, and, finally, the
O column, with numbers between sixty one and seventy five.





Players can choose from a large variety of cards, each one unique (because
cards are never the same). Some brands print up to six thousand cards
different from each other. There are others that print nine thousand cards.
Some brands print a serial number on the cards, so the card with the Serial
Nº 1636 will be always the same.
