As you probably know, the object of the game is to be the first
person to fill in a specific pattern of letters and numbers on the bingo card.
What you may not know is that there can be different patterns with which you can win.
Each bingo card has 25 squares on it, each containing a number between 1 and 75. Plus,
one free space in the center. At the top of each line are the letters…B-I-N-G-O
Bingo is often played with a Bingo Book, which is multiple sheets of bingo cards
bound together to be played in a single session. BINGO includes being able to play paper bingo and
electronic bingo. You can play one or both styles when you play. Just keep in mind,
if you’re gonna play more, you’re gonna pay more! When you arrive at one of the Charitable Gaming
Centres, make sure you ask a Customer Service Representative for a ‘session program’. This
is a guide to help you keep track of the games that will be played on that
day and, the patterns required to win. There are two main prizes you can win:
“fixed prizes” and “progressive prizes.” A ‘Fixed Prize’ is a set prize amount that
can be won by a single winner or split amongst multiple winners at the end of every game.
As for ‘Progressive Jackpots’, these are prizes that grow each time a game is played.
If no one wins the progressive jackpot it gets rolled into the next time the game is played.
Last, but not least, you’ll need to use a dauber. As the numbers are called out as a number letter
combination, you will mark the cards. NOW you’re ready to head to any one of
the Charitable Gaming Centers to dab fast & play smart!
