How to Play Online Bingo
Bingo has always been one of the easiest games to play. The object of Bingo is to match and mark off the numbers on your Bingo Card with those that the Bingo caller shouts out. The bingo caller will shout out random numbers one after the other until one or more players matches all of the numbers on their card and wins the game! In some games you will only have to match the numbers within a certain pattern on your card for example a diagonal or horizontal line. Don't worry if you're a newbie though, each game you play will tell you exactly what you need to do (and you can always ask the chat host for help at any time).
Helpful Hint: If you're nervous or unsure about how to play, you can join a game without actually buying any cards and just watch a few games being played by other people to get familiar with how it works first.
Here is a screenshot if a typical 75 Ball Bingo game in progress:
You'll see that the screen shows you everything you need to know as you progress through the game. The table on the left side of the screen show you which numbers have been called so far during the game. Your Bingo cards are in the middle of the screen so you can keep track of the numbers you've matched so far. You don't actually have to mark your Bingo Cards either - they will automatically be marked for you as your numbers match up, tell you how many more numbers you need and will also sort your cards for you so you always know which card is nearest to winning! How clever is that?
The top right corner of the screen shows you how much credit you've got available to play with. Top middle lets you know the jackpot amount, progressive jackpot amount (more on progressive jackpots later) and the Bingo pattern being used for this game.
Below your Bingo cards is the mini games section. As your Bingo cards are automatically being marked for you, why not play a quick hand of Blackjack or try your luck on the slots? Mini games are completely optional, you don't have to play if you don't want to.
The Right hand side of the screen is dedicated to the chat room - here you can type in messages for your fellow players, wish them good luck or gloat when you win J - its up to you.
You'll also notice the self explanatory "buy Cards" button at the bottom. And lastly, the menu across the top of the page lets you access your account information and the useful "help" screen which gives you instructions on how to play and help from support should you ever need it.
We have a winner!!
At the end of the game, a window will pop up and announce "BINGO!" and the winner (hopefully you!) with the amount of money they have won. Again, this is all automatic; you don't have to do anything. Occasionally there will be more than one winner. If two or more players complete their cards at the same time, the game pot is split equally between them. Winnings will automatically be credited to your Bingo account.
