There are many different variants of bingo, but they all come down to the same basic idea: players take turns drawing numbers from a drum and calling out corresponding numbers on a card. When someone calls out a number matching one on their card, the player next to them gets to draw a number from the drum and call out a corresponding number.
The game continues until all the players have called out all of their numbers or the drum is empty.
Some popular bingo games include American bingo, Chinese bingo, French bingo, German bingo, and Spanish bingo. American bingo is the most common type of bingo played in North America. It uses a standard 52-card deck with both red and black jokers. Players compete by calling out numbers in sequence from 1 to 52. If two or more players call the same number at the same time, that number is called out as “bust.
” Chinese bingo is similar to American bingo, but with different rules governing how many spaces each number can occupy on the player’s card. French bingo is similar to American bingo, but with special rules governing whether or not a number can be called as “bust” if it appears twice consecutively on a player’s card. German bingo is similar to American bingo, but with different rules governing how many balls are drawn at each game turn. Spanish bingo uses a unique 52-card deck containing only two jokers – one black and one red – which makes it easier for players who know how to read Spanish words.
