You will see a caller or display board for the bingo numbers. Online bingo play frequently gives you 3 or 4 cards, although some online bingo games let you take more. The numbers need to create a pattern in order to win the game. In addition, the game pattern is displayed and it is important to concentrate on this. Some patterns are easier than others to complete. They follow a vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction. Periodically there is a "blackout" or "coverall" game where you have to cover the whole card.

How to Play:

1)  Choose to mark the numbers on the cards yourself or have the computer do it for you ("auto daub" feature). The system marks all numbers chosen for you, and the numbers are checked whether you have marked them in time or not.

2)  "Auto daub" routinely watches and marks all of your bingo cards and you can play numerous cards at the same time. To take a more active role in the game, turn "auto daub" off and manually mark your card by moving your mouse over the numbers. Don't worry, because the computer system marks your numbers at any rate.

3)  The numbers appear at 10 second intervals, so move quickly to mark them accurately on your cards.

4)  Once a player calls 'Bingo', the game ends and the numbers are verified. With several winners, the prize is divided between them.

Progressive Bingo Jackpots

In progressive Bingo, the cash prize grows with each game until there is a bingo winner. The more games that the jackpot remains unclaimed, the larger it becomes. For some Bingo games, a few Jackpot Rooms add another big prize, called the Super Jackpot.
