As compared to casino games, bingo is relatively easier to play. It is one game that requires very little skill or strategy to win. Bingo is usually a game of chance, admired by old and young alike. So, don’t be surprised if you see children playing games at birthday parties. Bingo is a game that knows no bounds.
No matter if you are playing bingo in a brick and mortar bingo hall or online, bingo games offer absolute fun to players. Imagine sitting in a bingo hall, with players attempting to match the numbers called with numbers on their bingo cards. While the beginners prefer to play with one or two cards at a time, you would find the most proficient bingo players managing 5 to 6 bingo cards per game.
A bingo card is the very essence of bingo and is usually made of a thin cardboard or paper. This square shaped card is arranged into 5 rows and 5 columns totaling to 25 squares in all. 24 of these squares carry one number each, except the centermost square which is usually marked free. Each column is headed by 5 letters of the term B, I, N, G and O. The B column carries number between 1 and 15, the I column between 16 and 30, the N column between 31 and 45, the G column between 46 and 60 and the O column between 61 and 75. Likewise, each column carries 5 numbers, except N, which bears 4 numbers plus a free space.
To win, you must cover numbers on your card that corresponds to a winning pattern. Typically, the winning patterns include any five numbers in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, besides 4 corners and the classic coverall. The more modern of the patterns may include a picture, a symbol, or may be an alphabet.
