Bingo is a popular game that is enjoyed by many. It is a simple game that is played with a group of people. The object of the game is to fill a card with numbers from 1-21. When someone drAWS a number, they yell out the corresponding number and put the card with that number on the table in front of them.
If someone has the same number as the number drawn, they can “bingo” and collect a point. Bingo games usually last for around 20 minutes, and the first team to win 10 points or more is declared the winner.
How Does a Bingo Work?
A bingo card typically has 26 numbers on it, numbered 1-25 in ascending order and 1-26 in descending order. Numbers are printed in two columns, with the column on the right containing numerals smaller than 5 and the column on the left containing numerals larger than 5.
Numbers 1-19 are in column one, 20-29 are in column two and 30-39 are in column three.

How Does a Bingo Game work?
Basically, when somebody drAWS a card from the bingo deck, it will have either one or two numbers written on it (depending on whether it’s an even or odd bingo). These numbers will correspond to one of the numbers printed on that particular bingo card – for example, if somebody drew card #2 and it had a 2 written on it (in column two), then they would yell out “bingo” and put this card face down on top of their existing cards (which would now all have either 1 or 3 written on them), since 2 corresponds to both of those numbers.
The next person then drAWS a card from the deck, looks at its number(s), and if any of those numbers match what was just yelled out by somebody else, they also yell out “bingo” and put this new card face down on top of their existing cards (this continues until somebody either doesn’t yell out any more bingos or until all 52 cards have been used). At this point, whoever has collected all their cards (including any new ones that have been added since the last round) is considered to have won that particular round of bingo – congrats!.
