Before you can start playing a bingo game and win bingo, you must first buy a bingo card. A bingo card has numbers on them in a 5 x 5 grid corresponding to the five letters in the word B-I-N-G-O. Numbers are then drawn like B-2 or N-55; numbers are always drawn at random to give everyone a fair chance to win. In American bingo number can range from 0 to 75 and in British and Australian bingo numbers can range from 0 to 90, all depending on the game or the internet site. You win the prize by completing a bingo pattern, such as a line with five numbers in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row on one of your cards in play. There are many patterns for bingo; it all depends on the game you are playing.
A bingo card contains 24 numbered spaces and a free blank space. Every number is assigned at random on each of the cards, meaning there are no duplicate cards. The numbers are arranged in five columns of five numbers each by five rows, 5 multiply by 5 equals 25 including the blank square.
The numbers in the “B” column are between 1 and 15, in the “I” column between 16 and 30, in the “N” column (the “N” column only contains four numbers and the blank square) between 31 and 45, in the “G” column between 46 and 60, and in the last column, the “O” column, between 61 and 75. This pattern varies form place to place, but it is usually standard.
Manufacturers print unduplicated series of 6,000 cards or there are also manufacturers who print series of 9,000 unduplicated cards. When you are playing an internet bingo game you can select from as many as 50,000 cards. Depending on the software, some software randomly selects cards for you. Most of the internet bingo halls allow a maximum of between 32 to 50 bingo cards in one play. Some internet bingo halls automatically assign all the players playing a specific game the same number of cards, to eliminate the advantage that other players have when they are playing with the maximum number of bingo cards.
