On
land, bingo games are played usually in an evening
and consist of a session of about 30 games. Not at
BingoCafé! Here the
games never stop! You can play bingo and chat to your
friends 24/7. That's right... at BingoCafé
the fun never stops!
What is a Bingo Card?
Each player has a number of BINGO cards (players can
play 3 - 25 cards). Each BINGO card has 5 rows and
5 columns thus providing 25 spaces. The columns are
labeled from left to right with the letters: 'B',
'I', 'N', 'G', 'O'.
With
one exception (the center space is "free")
the spaces in the card are assigned values as follows:
Each space in the 'B' column contains a number from
1 - 15. Each space in the 'I' column contains a number
from 16 - 30. Each space in the 'N' column contains
a number from 31 - 45. Each space in the 'G' column
contains a number from 46 - 60. Each space in the
'O' column contains a number from 61 - 75.
How the game unfolds
There are the 75 possible
Bingo numbers painted on 75 balls in a large rotating
bin. The announcer spins the bin, reaches in, selects
a ball, and announces it to the room. Traditionally
the players check all of their cards to see if that
number appears on their card. If it is, you mark it
off. However, at BingoCafé, the computer will
mark off your numbers for you, so you can concentrate
on chatting with your buddies. Once all the numbers
in the games particular winning pattern has been marked
off, you will WIN BINGO! The game pauses while the
card is verified. If it is indeed a winner, the game
stops and a new game begins.
At BingoCafé - there's always a winner!
To make things easier for you, when you have 3 numbers
to go, the outside of your bingo card will change
color to red just to let you know you getting close!!!
At 2 numbers to go it will go yellow, with 1 to go
it goes dark green and when you have bingo it goes
purple! That means you're a winner.
Your chances of winning depend on the number of cards
in the particular game and how many cards you are
playing.
