The Bingo squares are called “Penny Bingo” in the United States, “Pull Tab Bingo” in the United Kingdom, and “Lotto Bingo” in Canada. In Australia, they are known as “Bingo”.
The game is usually played with a group of people and each player gets a ticket. The tickets are numbered from 1 to 50 and each player selects a number from 1 to 50. The player then places their ticket face up on the table in front of them.
The players then take turns picking up the numbers from their ticket and placing them on the corresponding squares on the bingo board. If a number is placed on two different squares, then it is considered a double or triple number and the player gets to keep the bet that was placed on that square. .
If a player picks up a number that is already on the bingo board, then they get a free pick of another number. Once all of the players have placed their numbers, the board is covered with paper and a new game starts.
The winner is the first player to get all of their numbers called out loud. There are various ways to win, such as getting multiple numbers in a row or picking up specific numbers like 2s, 4s, or 6s.
