How to play?

Traditional BINGO is played in a large hall. Players meet at the hall, pay a fee to get in, then the games begin. A night of Online Bingo consists of many Online Bingo games played continuously, one after another. You will note that there are 75 possible Online Bingo numbers: B1, B2, B3, ... B15, I16, I17, I18, ... I30, N31, N32, ... O557, O75. Each of these numbers is represented by a ball in a large rotating bin. Each ball is painted with its unique Online Bingo number. An announcer spins the bin, reaches in, selects a ball, and announces it to the room. The players check all of their cards to see if that number appears on their card. If it is, they mark it. When a player has a Online Bingo (5 in a row, column, or diagonal), he or she calls out Online Bingo. The game pauses while the card is verified. If indeed there is a winner, the game stops and a new one begins. If the card wasn't a winner, the game proceeds where it left off. Each Online Bingo game proceeds until someone wins (there's always a winner).

Chances of Winning: Every Online Bingo game has a winning card, so a player's chances of winning depend on the number of cards in the game and how many cards s/he is playing. For example, if a player has 12 cards in a game with 1200 cards, the chances of winning for that player is 1 in 100.

Fast Action Bingo, is one of the types of Bingo machines found nowadays in the market. Only 24 numbers are entered into the machine for the day and the computer's chores are to choose those numbers at the beginning of each day. A "deck" of 76,000 unique card combinations is determined by the computer, which appear only once on the 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, or $1 level. Prior to hitting on with the game, a player must set himself in front of the video screen, choose the number of cards, between one and four that he wishes to play and choose the size of the payout. Next step is to touch the "continue" button on the screen, which activates the game.  If a winning pattern lights up, a straight bingo line, four corners, a diamond or other image, the consolation amount is displayed specifying player's old balance, card cost, subtotal and balance. The game continues till the money runs out or till a player cashes out.
