Bingo is a game of numbers, not unlike Keno or other lottery games. The game is run by a caller, who draws numbers at random, from 1 through 75 (each accompanied by one of the five letters in the word "bingo"), and calls them out to the players. Each player pays for one or more game cards. This is known as a buy-in. Each of the cards consists of a five-by-five grid of numbered squares, with the center square marked as a free space. In the traditional game, you are supposed to get five numbers in a row, column, or diagonal covered to win. Now the object is to fill in squares in any of a number of patterns identified by the caller before the game begins.
As the caller announces each number drawn, the players check their game cards for that number. Whoever has that number marks the square. The caller continues to announce numbers until someone fills in a pattern and shouts, "Bingo!" At that point an employee - called a floorperson, or a checker - will inspect the winning card for two things: to make sure that the numbers marked form the correct pattern for that particular game and that the numbers marked have been called. If the pattern and the numbers are right, the game is over, and the winner receives the prize. If more than one card wins, the prize is distributed among the players with winning cards.
It's just that simple, at least for the basics...
