How to play

Divide the plastic counters equally among the players. Each player takes a turn being the caller.The caller inserts all the balls into the large Ball. Each player selects the same agreed number of Bingo cards. The caller (or by agreement) decides the game play for each round.

There are 3 choices

• 1 Line: The first player to cover all the numbers on 1 line of his/her Bingo card is the winner.
• 2 Lines: The first player to cover all the numbers on 2 lines of his/her Bingo card is the winner.
• Full House: The first player to cover all the numbers on his/her Bingo card is the winner.

Note: One round may also consist of a combination of e.g. 1 line line & full house etc.

The caller turns the handle – first anti-clockwise to mix up the balls and then clockwise.
A ball will automatically be dispensed. The caller removes the ball from the chute, calls out the
number on that ball to all the players and places the ball in the corresponding numbered hole
in the tray.
The players look for that number on their cards and if they have it, they place a plastic counter
on it.
The caller continues to call out the numbers until a player calls ‘Bingo!’. This means a player has
covered all the numbers required to win that game. The caller then checks that all the numbers
covered correspond to the numbered balls in the tray. If correct the player is the winner.
If not - play continues until a winner is declared by the caller.
The caller then returns all the balls to the cage, collects the cards, and passes the ‘Ball’ & Bingo
cards to another player who becomes caller for the next round.
