The first thing the players need to do is to register with an online bingo site. Players need to download the software either before registering or after registering. Every player should check if his system meets all the minimum requirements for the software to download. Majority of the bingo sites just like any other online casino site allows the players to play through the web browsers using the flash player. Players having their own computers are suggested to download the software and play the game.
The site provides random bingo cards to the players. When it is online, the players are allowed to play more than one bingo card. There are also sites that allow players to play with 20 bingo cards at a time. This is permitted as those sites have a feature called auto-daub. Auto-daub automatically daubs the numbers helping the players. Few sites have manual option; players are allowed to daub the numbers manually with a click of the mouse.
Bingo sites having rules are displayed on the screen. Also the count of the bingo cards selected in that particular game is listed. Screen names of the players are also displayed on the screen. Also the numbers that have already been called are posted on the screen. This is important for those players who have chosen manual option.
The computer software called Random Number Generator (RNG) calls out the numbers. Players who have chosen manual option will compare the numbers that are called with the numbers on their bingo cards. If the number matched, they mark it off. Every Bingo game has a pattern for the players to win. All the patterns will be shown on the Bingo site. Player who gets any of the mentioned patterns is declared as a winner. The patterns of the Bingo game differs based on the bingo variation. Players should complete the said pattern for them to win. For instance, sometimes, they need to cover an ‘X’ pattern and sometimes just a line.
The player who completes the said pattern first and who shouts out ‘Bingo’ by pressing a button with the mouse wins. One should press the button as quickly as possible.
