Paper Bingo is the traditional way to play the game that we all know and love. Once you’ve got your dabber, all you need to do is choose the games that you want to play!
Before you start playing, take a minute to learn about Regular Games and Specials.
Regular Games are gathered into a Bingo Book, which you are required to purchase in order to participate in most Bingo sessions.
A Special is a game that could be part of a Bingo Book and/or sold separately.
Check the session program to see which games you will be playing (games are usually listed by colour), or listen to the caller to announce the game and pattern being played.
Dab the free space in the centre of the card.
Mark the numbers that are announced by the caller.
If you complete the pattern in play, yell “BINGO!”
For House Rules and prize claiming information, please see a customer service representative.
Full Card/Full House/Blackout/Coverall – A pattern that requires you to cover the whole card to win.
Pattern – Games are often divided up into “patterns” that need to be completed to win the prize. Examples include covering the 4 corners, one line, a letter pattern (“T,” “H,” etc.), or an outside square.
Pay As You Play – A “come and go” format that allows you to dictate when and how long you play.
Progressive Jackpot – A jackpot that builds by session, daily, weekly or monthly and is usually won if “Bingo” is called before a predetermined number of balls are drawn.
Session – A Bingo program consisting of regular and special games. A session usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours.
Strip – Bingo paper that contains 3 cards (or faces), vertically aligned.
Super Jackpot – A Bingo game that is based on completing a specified pattern within a designated number of balls drawn.
