Beginner's Guide in Bingo

Bingo, which was once a tool for churches to raise money for the marginalized sectors of their community has evolved into one of the world's most played games. Bingo has become a means of socialization and bonding time with the family.

Bingo consists of 75 numbers and a card which consists of a 5 rows and 5 columns grid containing 24 numbers. The 5 columns of the bingo card are labeled by the 5 letters of BINGO. The B column contains numbers 1-15 while the next column has numbers 16-30 and so on and so forth.

Numbers are then drawn out randomly until a player wins by completing the specified pattern and shouting out BINGO to inform the other players that the pot money has already been won. Players may choose to use more than one card per game. However, having too many bingo cards at a time may result to confusion since players are only given a few seconds to mark the numbers on their card.

Bingo patterns differ per game. There are some patterns that consist of only one row or letter. Others are more complex such as patterns that make up words. Some even deal with all the segments of the bingo card.

Winnings

The amount that a person takes home when winning a game varies depending on the number of players since more players is synonymous to higher pot money. The price of the bingo card and the place where one is playing also has bearings on the pot money. When the price of the bingo cad is higher, then, the pot money tends to be high as well. Also, when a player plays in high-stakes places such as Las Vegas, the higher the amount he or she tends to win or lose for that matter.
