Casino School: How to Play Bingo

One of the more well-known casino games that you can play and have a lot of fun with is Bingo. This is not only for grandmas that want to sit inside of a bingo hall to enjoy as you can do so at the comfort of your own home by signing up at Slots Paradise and depositing into your account and redeeming your bonus. 

Objective of Bingo

For those of you unfamiliar with the game of Bingo, the objective is to get a bingo by having the numbers on your card be called. There are different patterns that could give you bingo and win some cash.

How to Play Bingo

There are a few options to begin playing bingo but there are a few options that you can choose to get the ball rolling:

• New Cards: This should be self-explanatory but clicking this will give you a new card with different numbers on it to give you a chance of winning
• Auto Play: This will play with the settings you already have selected and will begin the game for you
• Bet One: This will bet one token and give you the opportunity to get into the action in an attempt to win some cash
• Bet Max: This will increase your wager to the maximum amount of tokens, which will multiply your winnings if you obtain a bingo during the game

How Do You Get a Bingo? Different Bingo Rules

Now that you understand the settings and how to start up a game, it seems that we should discuss exactly how to win a game of bingo. There are a few different bingo rules to win so we will discuss each one here. 

• Straight-line pattern: this is the most common way to score a bingo. This means you have five numbers in a row going either vertically or horizontally and can be done using the free space in the middle of the board. 
• X Pattern: this is making two diagonal lines on your bingo card to form an X. This will not include any N’s as the free space occupies that portion 
• Four corners: This should explain itself but you are trying to get the four corners of your bingo card to hit. Nothing else on the board matters except those four corners so the letters I, N, and G are not going to affect you here
• Full Bing Pattern, Coverall, Blackout, and Full Grid: These are all the same thing so I lumped all the terminology for you here. This means that your bingo card needs every single number called in order to win

Number of Balls 

Depending on which game type you are playing, there could be a different amount of balls in the game. This doesn’t change much of the gameplay except which letter contains which number. 

• In 90 balls, the B’s are 1-18, I’s are 19-36, N’s are 37-54, G’s are 55-72, and O’s are 73-90.
• In 80 balls, the B’s are 1-16, I’s are 17-32, N’s are 33-48, G’s are 49-64, and O’s are 65-80.
• In 75 balls, which is typical Bingo, the B’s are 1-15, I’s are 16-30, N’s are 31-45, G’s are 46-60, and O’s are 61-75
• In 30 balls, the B’s are 1-6, I’s are 7-12, N’s are 13-18, G’s are 19-24, and O’s are 25-30. 

Make sure you are aware of how many balls are in play for your game because that can really help you understand where to look on the bingo strategy card in order to get your numbers marked off. 

Bingo Strategy, Tips & Tricks to be More Successful at Bingo

One major strategy I would give is to play more than one Bingo card at a time. This keeps you more in the game instead of virtually waiting as everyone marks their cards. This also gives you more chances of hitting a Bingo as you have different numbers and you have more ways to win and waiting on different numbers to hit. It keeps you into the game and really helps. I suggest with three being your maximum amount as a beginner and if you feel you can manage more go from there. Remember that each card is going to increase your wager as well. 

Another important tip I would recommend is to play easier patterns. Blackout could be difficult because if you miss one single number, then you are screwed. However, if you play easier patterns like four corners or X pattern, this will make it easier. You also can play more cards at one time since you are not looking for too many different numbers and some letters will be entirely wiped out from the game. 

Make sure to take regular breaks as it could take a lot of mental anguish when you are focusing on your cards. It also can be a bit stressful if you are waiting on a particular number to be called and it does not get called for a little while. Make sure to play in moderation because if you do not, it could wipe out your bankroll and cause you to lose money in the long term relatively quickly.
