There are a lot of things to love about Bingo. One of our favorite elements of the game is that 😄 anyone can play—yes, anyone. But other fun aspects of Bingo are that it’s inclusive and that there isn’t too much 😄 strategy involved. So if you’re feeling lucky, what are you waiting for?! Let’s get started!
Bingo Basics
When you arrive for Bingo, 😄 you’ll order as many Bingo sheets as you want to play. Or, if you prefer to play electronically, you’ll receive 😄 a PHD machine that has as many Bingo sheets as you’ve loaded onto it. Most people increase their odds of 😄 winning by purchasing more than one sheet. If you’re new to the game, it might be easier to play just 😄 a couple at first. Just be sure to keep your sheets straight!
These sheets list 25 randomly generated numbers that range 😄 from 1 to 100. The caller will announce randomized numbers one by one. Simply mark the number on your sheet 😄 with your dauber! (That’s that jumbo-sized marker, which you can purchase if you left yours at home.) If you’re playing 😄 on a PHD machine, the device will search your sheets for the number that has been called. Easy, right?
In classic 😄 Bingo, the first participant to cross out a line of 5 numbers horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins a part of 😄 the prize—or, depending on the game, the whole prize! Depending on the Bingo variation, you might be looking to complete 😄 your sheet with a random pattern of numbers. This may be creating an “X” on the sheet or marking off 😄 the four corners of the sheet. The biggest payout usually comes when you’ve been lucky enough to cross off each 😄 number on your sheet.
