How to Play Bingo bought to you by Jackpotjoy.co.uk and Bingos.co.uk
Bingo’s immense popularity is, in great part, as a result of its simplicity. Although the game has evolved slightly for an online audience, the basic principles remain intact.
In the first instance, you will be given a virtual bingo card, which will have a certain number of columns and rows, depending on which variety of the game you are playing. Often, the word ‘BINGO’ will be spelt out at the top of the card, with each of the five letters ‘naming’ one of the columns.
In traditional bingo, a caller would then randomly choose a combination of letter and number, for example B-2. At this point, you would look to your card. If you had a 2 in one of the rows in your B column, you would cross it off. Of course, in online bingo this process is rather more automated, although you will still be required to mark your virtual card yourself.
The ultimate aim of the game is to mark off squares on your card until you have achieved a set pattern. There are literally hundreds of possible patterns in online bingo, with some games assigning different arrangements to different cards. You will also have a ‘free’ square. This can be used as a wildcard, and marked off in order to help you fulfil the pattern.
Once you have matched the marks on your card to the pattern for which you are aiming, you can call ‘bingo’. If you are the first player to do so, you will win. Some sites will automatically call bingo for you if you have forgotten to mark a couple of squares, while others leave the responsibility entirely up to you.
