There’s also an absence of a caller, as the numbers are marked automatically for you.įor you to form a “one-line” pattern, the numbers marked off on your game screen will have to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line. In contrast to the caller in a traditional brick-and-mortar setting, the ball numbers are generated by an engine known as an RNG (random number generator). In online bingo, once you “buy cards or tickets,” the game screen opens to a grid of numbers, depending on the game version.
The online version is a bit different, with the use of random number generators and a computer to mark your numbers. The primary objective is to match a set of numbers to give you “one line”, “two lines”, “three lines” or a “full house.” In a traditional brick-and-mortar bingo house, you’ll get a bingo card, and you then take a seat to hear the caller announce numbers for you to mark and form patterns. There are different variations of bingo online games, but the rules are quite similar and simple.
