American bingo evolved a little differently than its British counterpart. The game is played on pieces of papers called Bingo cards. The cards come in different colors for different free casino games. The American version is a seventy-five number game. The letters B, I, N, G and O are printed across the top of the card. The numbers are listed under the letters.
B has number one through fifteen; I has numbers sixteen through thirty; N has number thirty-one to forty-five; G has numbers forty-six to sixty; and O has numbers sixty-one to seventy-five. Most players use plastic chips to cover the numbers as they are called. Most of the chips have a metal threading through them or a metal border so that they can later be removed by use of a magnetic wand.
The object of the game is to complete a specified pattern by covering the numbers that make that pattern. Most regular games have patterns of a horizontal or a vertical line, a diagonal or four corners. Special bingo game consist of other patterns that are announced before the game.The numbers of cards each player plays is a matter of personal choice.
Different UK casino establishments sell different kinds of card packages. Most people play about thirty cards, or whatever they can handle. Regular players bring their own scotch tape and stick glue. They glue the cards together into a big square or big rectangle and then tape them to the table so they don’t slide around during the game. |
