Playing bingo is fun but if you do not know the Las Vegas Casino Bingo Rules, bingo can get confusing. In fact, the popularity of bingo is growing so much that is fast becoming one of the most played games online.

          In bingo, there is a caller whose task is to pull out the numbered bingo balls, and then call the corresponding number. Bingo balls are numbered from 1 to 75. The calling happens quite fast and players are given just a few seconds to locate the number on their cards and mark them off. In online bingo, there are automatic daubers which mark the numbers on the player’s behalf.

         A typical bingo card has five rows and columns. Each row and column has a random selection of numbers. The columns are labeled B, I, N, G and O. Column B has numbers from 1 to 15, I from 16 to 30, N from 31 to 45, G from 46 to 59 and O from 60 to 75. Numbers in each column are randomly inserted and the N column has a free space in the center.

          In order to win at bingo, a player needs to mark all the called numbers and then yell “Bingo!” to get his card checked and claim his prize. There are many patterns used based on the bingo hall and one needs to know these in order to accurately mark the numbers in the pattern and win.

          In online bingo, the computer selects the card for the player. Bingo sites allow players to choose the number of cards they would like to play with and the pattern for each game is displayed on the screen making it easy for the player to follow the pattern.

          Some patterns are easy while others are difficult. Based on this, it depends how many calls are made to complete the pattern. The most common bingo patterns are straight lines and this can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
