Straight line bingo is a popular game that is played at many casinos and online. The object of the game is to fill a row or column on the bingo card with the same number as the number shown in the ball. Bingo balls are numbered 1-49 and are drawn one at a time. When a ball is drawn, players mark off the numbers in front of them on the bingo card.
If two players mark off the same number, then the number shown in the ball counts as both players’ marks. If two players mark off different numbers, then the player with the lower number wins. There are also bonus rules that apply to straight line bingo games.
