I'm
sure almost everybody in there lives at one point or another has
played bingo and had some real fun. Well online bingo is even better.
The beauty of the game is in its simplicity and it can be enjoyed
by anyone. We will give you some real basics of how to play and
will open up your chances of winning some real money
How to play
The aim of bingo is to complete a given pattern
on you game board before any other player does. If and when this
occurs, you have a "bingo" and are the winner.
When you
play online your bingo cards are randomly selected for you, however
on certain games you may have the option of choosing another game
board. In most games you will get 3 or 4 cards but depending on
the game type you can take as many as you like. We suggest no more
than 4 as it might become difficult to follow with to many cards
unless of course the numbers are automatically crossed off.
Most online
bingo games have a caller or a display board with all the numbers
and the game pattern will be highlighted. There are usually 75 numbers
but a lot of the games have 90 numbers.
It is important to pay attention to the pattern for a given game
so you are always aware of which numbers you need to win a game.
Some patterns are easier than others but in general all the patterns
are relatively easy to follow. Some of the most basic patterns are
straight lines in a horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction.
Another popular game is the "blackout" or "coverall"
where you have to get every number on your board.
The numbers
are called out fairly quickly, usually 10 seconds apart but sometimes
even quicker so make sure you are paying attention so you can mark
off your numbers, some games mark them off automatically but that
takes the fun out of it but on the flipside it makes the game even
easier.
The game
continues until one or more players have bingo, then the game is
stopped and the numbers are verified. If there is indeed a winner,
the prize for that game is awarded to that player but if there is
more than one winner the prize is shared out equally.
Once a game is over, players get new cards, a new pattern is displayed
and a new game begins.
