About Bingo
Bingo is the game of the church hall and the seaside, and here the caller never gets tired: a number every few seconds, marked on your card for you, until someone shouts. Play for a line or for the full house, with two to four players against robots on one device or up to eight players online, where the server calls the numbers and keeps every card secret until the end. No prizes, no money, just the first to call it.
How to play Bingo
- Every player gets a card of 25 numbers in five columns (B 1-15, I 16-30, N 31-45, G 46-60, O 61-75) with a free centre.
- A number is called every few seconds and marked on your card for you. Watch for a full row, column or diagonal (or the whole card, when playing for a full house).
- The first player to tap Bingo! with a complete line wins. A false call simply does nothing.
- Pick the pace (quick, normal or relaxed) and the way to win. Results are saved on this device.
Tips & strategy
- Watch the diagonals as well as the rows and columns: with the free centre they need only four numbers.
- When a line lights up, tap Bingo! straight away. The robots pause for a moment before they claim, but not for long.
- Playing for a full house, the game runs longer and luck evens out; a line is quick and sharp.
- The quick pace is for a table that wants a fast game; relaxed gives everyone time to look at their card.
Bingo: questions and answers
How are the cards made?
Each column takes five numbers from its own range: B from 1-15, I from 16-30, N from 31-45, G from 46-60 and O from 61-75. The centre is free.
Do I have to mark the numbers myself?
No. Called numbers are marked for you, so nothing is missed; your job is to spot the line and call it.
What if two players have a line at once?
The first to tap Bingo! wins. Online the server takes the first claim it receives.
What happens if I call Bingo by mistake?
Nothing. A claim without a complete line is simply refused, and the game goes on.
