In order to play bingo online, you have to first pick a bingo room. Then you need to select the number of cards you want to play with. Each card has a grid of randomly chosen numbers between 1 and 75. Then simply sit back and watch the numbers get called out.

How keely observed of you! Bingo isn’t the same as the lotto, but it’s certainly based on the same concept. Both involve numbers being selected at random. But while in the lotto it doesn’t matter what sequence your numbers come up or how fast you cop it, in bingo that can make all the difference.

Both modern day lotto and modern day bingo evolved from an 18th century French game named, believe it or not, le lotto.

The big difference between online and in-person bingo is that during online bingo all the hard work is done for you. You don’t have to pay too much attention to watch if you’re numbers come up. Meanwhile, in in person bingo you need to be sharp so that you don’t miss anything. You mark your numbers off yourself and you have to call bingo when you get a pattern. It’s tougher than it looks! Both are good fun, but online bingo is more fool proof.

In bingo, the aim of the game is to get a specific pattern on your sheet. Much like paylines in slots, if you achieve a pattern, you get a prize.
