BINGO

Bingo is a game of chance played with randomly drawn numbers which players match against numbers that have been pre-printed on 5x5 matrices. The matrices may be printed on paper, card stock or electronically represented and are referred to as cards. Bingo is a beautiful game of luck, which involves patience, rapid coordination between hearing and searching out the numbers and lots of fun. As all gambling it is totally addictive.

            Here each player will get a sheet, which has six cards with a total of 90 numbers. On each one of these cards, we will find 27 spaces grouped in 9 columns x 3 rows format. Each number is unduplicated; hence, it will not be repeated anywhere else in the sheet. The coordinate numbers that are called out by the host with what we have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading BINGO. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so we have to be careful to know what pattern we are looking out for. The bingo cards have the B-I-N-G-O letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which we would have to mark on our sheet. Our aim would be to cover the prescribed pattern with the BINGO letters, by coordinating the letters and numbers called. The patterns can be anything like, U shape, T shape, etc, though it usually is horizontal or vertical. As soon as we get the pattern, we should shout ?BINGO? and he will get the prize. In case there are others who shouted at the same time as he, the prize will be shared among all winners.
