How to Play Bingo
A Bingo card contains 24 numbered spaces and one free space (blank),
with which you play Bingo. The numbers are assigned at random on each
card and are arranged in five columns of five numbers each by five rows
(5 x 5 = 25 in total including the blank square).
The numbers in the ‘B’ column are between 1 and 15;
The numbers in the ‘I’ column are between 16 and 30;
The numbers in the ‘N’ column (containing four numbers and the free
space) are between 31 and 45;
The numbers in the ‘G’ column are between 46 and 60;
The numbers in the O column are between 61 and 75.
When playing online, bingo cards are randomly selected for the player.
Most online games give you 3 or 4 cards. Other games let you take
more. Every online bingo game has a banker or a display board for the
bingo numbers. The game pattern is also displayed.
Most online bingo rooms have an "auto-daub" feature, which
automatically marks the numbers on your card for you.

Bingo Strategy
Bingo is entirely a game of chance. The balls are drawn at random and
so are the cards. At the start of the game every card has an equal
chance of winning.
However, there is some element of skill involved in playing bingo,
because players have to mark their cards correctly as the balls are
drawn and keep track of how close all their cards are to Bingo.
With this in mind, here are 3 online Bingo strategy tips:
When playing Bingo online, the risk of not marking correctly or failing to
spot a winning card is completely removed by using the 'auto-daub'
function.
Increase your chances of winning by buying more cards! Some games
allow you to play as many cards as you like. Weigh up the total cost of
all your cards against the amount you stand to win and the number of
cards being played by other players.
Most online bingo rooms give you the chance to change your cards if
you don't like the look of them. At first this may seem pointless since
since every card has an equal chance of winning at the outset. However,
consider the fact that your cards will tend to have numbers in common.
The more numbers in common, if those numbers don't come up, then
those cards can't win. So, if you have time to make a comparison of the
cards you have been offered it's probably worth making some swaps if
it means you can avoid too much duplication of numbers.

75-BALL BINGO
This is the most popular game, played throughout the US and North
America. 75 balls can be called and these are in five columns of 15
balls.
Each column "belongs" to the BINGO letter at the top - a feature that
is used in many chat games.
In 75-ball bingo, the cards have 25 squares, five across and five down
- each column marked with a letter B-I-N-G-O. The card is filled with a
random selection of numbers from 1-75. Every card also has a unique
identifying code for support purposes.
The objective of each game is to match the pattern for that game with
the balls called. Patterns can be static, in which case the pattern is
shaded on each card to help you. Patterns can also be animated in
which case "bingo" can be achieved on any of the patterns used in that
game. There are over 6000 pattern combinations possible varying
from a simple "4 Corners" to a coverall or blackout pattern.
The game prize goes to the first player(s) to achieve the pattern. Each
game also has a "balls to jackpot" number. If the winner achieves the
pattern within this number of balls, then he wins the jackpot - usually a
progressive prize.
