Bingo calls are a type of gambling game played with paper balls. Players mark off numbers on the balls in the hope of matching one or more numbers drawn from a bingo card.
Bingo calls are specific instructions given to players before the game begins, telling them which numbers to mark on their balls.
Players can make calls either individually or in groUPS. Calls made individually are called “private” calls, while group calls are called “congregation” or “battery” calls.
Private calls are usually made by the player who is nearest to the number being called, while congregation and battery calls are made by all players in unison.
Some common bingo callers include “one-two-three”, “seven-eight-nine”, and “ten-eleven”. Different bingo halls have their own unique call signals, which vary depending on the game being played.
