How to Play
Online Bingo Games
Bingo cards are of 5 x 5 grids. There are specific squares in the
bingo cards. Each square other than the center square has a number.
The center square is the free space. The card contains any numbers
between 1 and 75 in American Bingo. Australian and British Bingo cards
have numbers from one to 90.
Columns have headings with the alphabets B, I, N, G, and O. Numbers 1 to
15 are in column B, 16 to 30 in the I column, 31 to 45 in the N column,
46 to 60 in the G column and 61 to 75 in the O column. Called numbers
appear as B-12, I-20, N-34, G-52, and O-69.
You have to purchase a bingo card to start with your game of
Internet Bingo. You can select your bingo cards from 50,000
cards. Sometimes, bingo sites present random selection of the cards with
the help of special software.
You can buy with either real money to play real money games or with fun
money to play fun bingo games. You can buy as many cards as you
can manage. However, most internet sites allow a maximum of 32 to
50 bingo cards for a single player. Few other sites automatically
allocate same number of bingo cards to all players to do away
with the advantage of players having more number of bingo cards.
The winning pattern for the game session appears on the screen. Such
winning pattern could be five numbers in a horizontal, vertical, or
diagonal alignment. Coverall or Blackout is to match all available
numbers on the bingo card.
Numbers appear on the screen according to random selection. You have to
mark the numbers on your card that match with the called numbers.
Markings should be accurate and swift as called numbers appear within an
interval of ten seconds. Some bingo sites automatically mark the
matching numbers on your cards. You do not have to search for the
numbers.
Manual or automatic marking continues until someone completes matching
all numbers with the called numbers in the necessary pattern for the
session. Player matching numbers on the bingo cards according to
the pattern calls out "Bingo" and is the winner of the game for
that particular session.
The game site verifies all called numbers with the numbers on the card
and thereafter declares the player winner of the session. If there is
more than one winner, they split the winnings among them. After awarding
the prize, a new bingo game starts on the Internet all
again with new cards.
