HISTORY OF BINGO:

Bingo first began in Italy in 1530. France became interested in 1778. They played the game with a deck of cards. In the 1800's Educational Lotto games became popular. In 1929 a New York salesman first saw the game at a carnival, it was called BEANO ~ because players placed a bean on their card. When he returned home he introduced it to his friends who became avid fans of the game. One of his friends became so excited when she won she stuttered ...............

B-B-Bingo - hence the name BINGO was born.
TODAY - Online Bingo has become a very popular form of gambling.

HOW BINGO IS PLAYED.

Traditional BINGO is played in person in a large hall. Players meet at the hall, pay a fee to get in, then the games begin. A night of BINGO consists of many BINGO games played continuously, one after another. A single BINGO game proceeds like this:

You will note that there are 75 possible 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 BINGO number. An announcer spins the bin, reaches in a selects a ball, and a 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 BINGO (5 in a row, column, or diagonal), he or she calls out BINGO.

The game pauses while the card is verified. If indeed a winner, the game stops and a new game begins. If the card wasn't a winner, the game proceeds where it left off. Each BINGO game proceeds until someone wins (there's always a winner). Chances of Winning Every 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 he/she 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. You now can play multiplayer bingo online.

BINGO CARDS.

Each player has a number of BINGO cards (players can usually play any number of cards). Each BINGO card has 5 rows and 5 columns thus providing 25 spaces. The columns are labeled from left to right with the letters: 'B', 'I', 'N', 'G', 'O'. With one exception (the center space is "free") the spaces in the card are assigned values as follows: Each space in the 'B' column contains a number from 1 - 15. Each space in the 'I' column contains a number from 16 - 30. Each space in the 'N' column contains a number from 31 - 45. Each space in the 'G' column contains a number from 46 - 60. Each space in the 'O' column contains a number from 61 - 75.

Furthermore, a number can appear only once on a single card. Here's a sample BINGO card: B I N G O 10 17 39 49 64 12 21 36 55 62 14 25 FREE SPACE 52 70 7 19 32 56 68 5 24 34 54 71 The number of unique BINGO cards is very large and can be calculated with this equation: // the B, I, G, and O columns * the N column (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11) ^ 4 * (15 * 14 * 13 * 12) While perhaps interesting to a statistician, the number of possible BINGO cards has nothing to do with player's chances of winning.
