Everything you always wanted to know about Bingo, from playing, to Bingo rules, from card variations to online Bingo.
The game of Bingo is played in a hall or in an online casino. Rules and payouts vary.

Bingo cards

Players buy Bingo cards that contain numbers: 5 across and 5 down. Cards contain 24 numbered spaces that correspond to the letters B I N G O + one blank space, for a card total of 25 spaces.

Numbers
• B column—1-15
• I column—16-30
• N column—31-45
• G column—46-60
• O column—61-75
Numbers are assigned at random

Let the fun begin

Numbers are drawn and are called out by a caller. Game participants have to pay close attention and mark their cards, when their particular numbers are called out. The caller continues calling out numbers until someone’s Bingo pattern is complete. The player then yells, “Bingo!” The game stops and the winning card is verified. If there are multiple winners, prize money is split among winners.
