Bingo Strategy is very important in allowing you to understand how bingo is played
Each free bingo game card has 24 different preprinted numbers with a free spot in the center. Bingo game cards come in two forms, disposable paper sheets and hard permanent bingo cards.
Permanent bingo cards have little shutters or windows that can be slid over top of a number when it is called. These shutters are simply retracted at the end of each bingo game and the bingo card is reused. Bingo players are given the option of playing more than one bingo card at a time at an additional cost.
Each column on a bingo games starts with one of the letters in the word BINGO. The column letters are used to group and more easily identify the numbers contained in each column below.
column numbers contained number range
B five 01-15
I five 16-30
N four 31-45 ( because the center spot is always free )
G five 46-60
O five 61-75
Other patterns include the four corners of the bingo board, or shapes such as the letter T. A coverall bingo game is one in which bingo players win when all of the numbers on their bingo card have been selected. The bingo caller will announce the selected pattern for each bingo game before it starts.
