One of the most popular games is bingo. Originating as an entertainment only for the rich, today it is available to everyone. In this post we will talk about what is the secret of success and how to play the bingo lottery correctly.
The first mention of this entertainment dates back to the 16th century, when council elections were held in Genoa by drawing balls with numbers. Although it later appeared in Europe, it became more popular in its modern form in the United States in the early 1900s. Italians played bingo at town fairs by filling in number cards using beans. The actual name of the game comes from the fact that the winner had to shout “Bean Go!”.
Edwin Lowe, a bankrupt entrepreneur, started the active development of bingo by setting up the production of cards with unique numbers with the help of knowledge of math.
One of the advantages of this game is its simplicity; the rules of bingo bingo are easy to understand even by beginners.
At first, each participant chooses one or more cards with numbers that are not repeated. To calculate the numbers that have fallen out, a bingo box or barrel is used. One by one, the host pulls out the balls or kegs and announces the number that has fallen out, which they must find on their tickets and cross out.
When a player fills in a certain shape on the coupon or crosses off all the correct numbers, they shout “Bingo!”.
The winner receives the winnings after the coupon is verified.
This lottery has several main varieties:
- Bingo-90 (British version)
- Bingo-75 (American version)
- Russian Bingo-80.
The British version uses a lotto machine and balls with numbers from 1 to 90. The game coupon consists of three rows of nine cells, each containing fifteen unique numbers, each with five rows. The drawing consists of three steps. First, the one who completely filled in any row wins. The one who has crossed out all the digits in two rows follows. Whoever does not have any digits left on the card will get the main prize. If several participants have the required combination at the same time, they will share the prizes equally.
Bingo cards for ninety balls
The American version includes seventy-five balls. The game coupons consist of a five by five square with an empty center square. In most cases, the letters B I N G O are above each column. One by one, balls with numbers and letters fall out of the lottrotron. Those who win cross off the matching numbers. Another difference in the American version is that the winner gets a prize if he or she is the first to paint a certain figure on a card.
