How to Play Bingo Games Online and what are Rules
Added: (Wed Oct 07 2009)
In the U.K, the 90-ball bingo games are popular. In this game, the bingo cards have three lines and nine columns. The game progresses as numbers are called out by a caller. The players pay attention to the numbers called and mark them quickly and accurately on their cards. The numbers are called continuously until one (sometimes more than one) player shouts “bingo!” At this point, the game stops and the winner is rewarded after number verification.
The bingo cards are available as single or multiple books. A single book usually contains ten cards each of which has different colours. A multiple book consists of six single books. Each page in a multiple book contains 6 cards, but they are of the same colour. These six cards can be separated along the perforations. A novice player may play one book or even a single card. Experienced players may play all six books. Single sheets of bingo cards are also available. They have 6 sections on six cards. They are called Flyers. The player may also buy just one section or the entire six according to his needs. The Flyers are costlier than the games on the books, but they are usually more rewarding.
In online bingo, the cards are randomly selected by the player. Usually there are three or four cards offered at a time, but sometimes, they are allowed to take more. The caller announces the number on a display board provided to all bingo players. The pattern is also displayed in advance. There is an automatic marking system available in some of the online bingo games. This makes the game faster than the conventional bingo.
As and when the caller pulls numbers, it is displayed on the screen. The players are given a fixed time to search that number and dab it out with a dabber. This is the crux of the game as it demands a lot of attention and swiftness from the part of a player. If you become the first one to cover up the pattern provided to you, you are announced as the winner. If there are two or more players who claimed bingo at the same time, the prize is shared among them. There are several custom patterns available, or the host may announce new pattern as well.
