There are a lot of things to love about Bingo. One of our favorite elements of the game is that 8️⃣ anyone can play—yes, anyone. But other fun aspects of Bingo are that it’s inclusive and that there isn’t too much 8️⃣ strategy involved. So if you’re feeling lucky, what are you waiting for?! Let’s get started!

Bingo Basics

When you arrive for Bingo, 8️⃣ you’ll order as many Bingo sheets as you want to play. Or, if you prefer to play electronically, you’ll receive 8️⃣ a PHD machine that has as many Bingo sheets as you’ve loaded onto it. Most people increase their odds of 8️⃣ winning by purchasing more than one sheet. If you’re new to the game, it might be easier to play just 8️⃣ a couple at first. Just be sure to keep your sheets straight!

These sheets list 25 randomly generated numbers that range 8️⃣ from 1 to 100. The caller will announce randomized numbers one by one. Simply mark the number on your sheet 8️⃣ with your dauber! (That’s that jumbo-sized marker, which you can purchase if you left yours at home.) If you’re playing 8️⃣ on a PHD machine, the device will search your sheets for the number that has been called. Easy, right?

In classic 8️⃣ Bingo, the first participant to cross out a line of 5 numbers horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins a part of 8️⃣ the prize—or, depending on the game, the whole prize! Depending on the Bingo variation, you might be looking to complete 8️⃣ your sheet with a random pattern of numbers. This may be creating an “X” on the sheet or marking off 8️⃣ the four corners of the sheet. The biggest payout usually comes when you’ve been lucky enough to cross off each 8️⃣ number on your sheet.
