Bingo For Beginners
Ace Blackwood
Bingo is probably one of the easiest games on the planet; all
you need are bingo cards, bingo chips, the ability to recognize
numbers, fast eyes and a prize, even children can do it.
Object of the game:
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
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.
The Game
First you 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 tells everyone the pattern to be
formed.
Listen for the fist ball, the host will call out a letter,
either B, I, N, G or O, for the column and then a number, e.g.
O-70.
Look for this number in your card and label it immediately.
The host continues to call out letters and numbers until
someone finishes than pattern required.
The person with a finished pattern should immediately yell
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 should be immediately given after a Bingo.
Tips
Never yell BINGO if you haven’t formed a pattern yet, this
halts the games and can be a bit annoying for other players.
