What happens during a game of bingo?

Although it might seem complicated and fast, bingo is actually very simple to learn and will be a lot of fun once it's mastered. It is always a good idea to arrive early when playing bingo. It's important to be on time, as you won't be able to play until the next round if you are late. You'll need to buy your bingo cards once you get there. A bingo card is a 5x5 grid of numbers from 1 to 75. Each card is unique and the middle box will always be blank. The bingo caller informs players at the beginning of each round which boxes they must mark on their cards to win that round. This is the 'winning pattern' and can vary from one game to another. The bingo caller will then start drawing numbers one at a time and shout them out. If you have the number, mark it on your card. To declare their win, the first player to mark all of the boxes for the winning pattern must shout BINGO!
