Bingo Strategy

Bingo has long been a favorite game for people of every age, both young and old. And though it was once limited to traditional bingo halls for either purely entertainment purposes or fund-raising, bingo is now becoming hugely popular over the Internet as more and more people are discovering the thrills of playing bingo at online casinos.

Whether you're a newcomer to the latest bingo craze at online casinos, or an old pro, this section of Casino VIP Lounge explains the rather straightforward bingo strategies so that you may get the most enjoyment out of playing bingo online.

Bingo Strategies

As you may already know, each bingo card contains five rows and five columns for a total of 25 spaces. (For more information about bingo rules, click here.) Each column is labeled from left to right with the letters: B, I, N, G, O. The center space is marked ‘Free.' The spaces on each card are assigned the following values:

Every space in column 'B' includes a number ranging from 1 - 15
Every space in column 'I' includes a number ranging from 16 - 30
Every space in column 'N' includes a number ranging from 31 - 45
Every space in column 'G' includes a number ranging from 46 - 60
Every space in column 'O' includes a number ranging from 61 - 75

In a game of bingo there are 75 possible numbers: B1, B2, B3, etc., through to O74 & O75. And every game has a winning card. Therefore a player's chances of winning depend on the total number of cards in the game along with the number of cards a player is playing with.

For example, if a player has 10 cards in a game where 1000 cards are being played in total, the odds of that player winning are 1 in 100. Beyond that there really isn't much more in the way of bingo strategies that can be applied, other than playing with as many cards in each game as you can afford. But keep in mind, if you're playing with too many cards, you could run the risk of losing track of things and thus wind up hurting your chances of winning instead of improving them.

Beyond playing with as many cards as you can, bingo is simply a game of chance, period. Therefore your best bet is to set out to have a fun regardless of whether you win or lose.
