THE BASICS

Despite the game looking confusing to new players, Bingo is actually reasonably simple to understand. The aim of Bingo is to complete a set pattern on your card. The Bingo caller randomly draws numbers from a machine. If the called number is present on your card, you mark-off that number. In British Bingo games you typically must mark-off the four corners of the card, and or a single line. Finally, a player marks-off all the numbers on their card to complete the full house!

HOW TO MARK A BINGO CARD

You can mark-off your cards in several ways. Initially, when Bingo was first played, people would use a small bean to cover their numbers. Obviously, this has several problems, the biggest being a clumsy player could knock the beans off mid-game.

Today the most popular way to mark-off numbers is using a specially designed Bingo dauber. This is a type of ink-marker with a circular tip. You use it by pressing the whole tip over the number. It leaves a neat little coloured circle over the called number, and importantly, the number can still be seen underneath – allowing the caller to check a winning card.

GOOD LUCK IN BINGO

Bingo is a game full of superstitions, and players have all sorts of lucky charms, lucky numbers and even lucky chairs to sit on.

Bingo Clubs will often reserve specific tables for regular players. God help you if you sit in Maureen’s ‘lucky’ seat! Lucky charms are another stable of the seasoned bingo player. It could be a rabbit’s foot (not too fortunate for the rabbit!) or a lucky Bingo pen/dauber.

NON TRADITIONAL GAMES

In Britain, 90 Ball Bingo is the most popular type of bingo game. It follows the four corners, single line and full house format. Nevertheless, you can play 100s of different varieties of Bingo online. These games are classed as Non-Traditional. At Mecca, you can play ‘Britain’s Got Talent Bingo’ or ‘Mishapes Bingo’ and at Jackpot Joy you can try ‘Crystal Maze Bingo’ and ‘Mega Ball Bingo’.
