A short guide about what is and how to play bingo, the game in US and United Kingdom, and its major variations.
Since its invention in 1934, modern bingo has evolved into multiple variations, with each jurisdiction’s gambling laws regulating how the game is played. There are also nearly unlimited patterns that may be specified for play. Some patterns only require one number to be matched, up to cover-all games which award the jackpot for covering an entire card and certain games award prizes to players for matching no numbers or achieving no pattern.
Bingo is often used as an instructional tool in American primary schools and in teaching English as a foreign language in many countries. It became increasingly more popular across the UK with more purpose-built bingo halls.
Keno is an important variation of bingo game, often played at modern casinos, and also offered as a game in some state lotteries.
Scratchcard is another major variation. The scratchcard is a small token, usually made of cardboard, where one or more areas contain concealed information: they are covered by a substance (usually latex) that cannot be seen through, but can be scratched off.

The aim of this paper is to identify possible regulatory, policy and program measures to address gambling harm to bingo players and their communities, and in doing so extend existing public health approaches to gambling to better include bingo. Study design: This was a qualitative case study of three populations in Victoria, Australia where bingo was popular and structural disadvantage common: Indigenous people in the state's east, Pacific people in the north and older people on low or fixed incomes in the capital, Melbourne. Methods: Our study investigated experiences of bingo, including gambling harm and recommendations for change. Data were generated through interviews with 53 bingo players and 13 stakeholders as well as 12 participant observations of bingo sessions. Results: Five broad drivers of and influences on harm to bingo players are identified: technological, regulatory and commercial changes eroding bingo's protective factors; bingo being used to bolster other forms of gambling; promotion of gambling interests over people's wellbeing; not recognising experiences of different communities and; external structural influences such as racialised poverty. We identify recommendations from bingo players and stakeholders to address harm arising from bingo involving wagering. Based on these recommendations and available evidence, we propose five sets of measures to mitigate against gambling harm to bingo players and their communities, and so extend existing public health approaches to gambling to better encompass bingo. These sets of measures are: safeguarding bingo's protective features; delinking bingo from the gambling ecosystem ; dismantling political protection of the gambling industry; tailoring strategies for sub-populations and preventing oppression and abuse. Conclusions: In the face of significant regulatory, commercial and technological changes to bingo that risk increasing and intensifying harm, a public health approach to bingo could help mitigate gambling harm.

Bingo is a distinct, enduring but understudied form of gambling. It provides comfort and pleasure to many of its players while also causing harm to some. While traditionally seen as low harm, it is being reshaped by technological and regulatory change. Despite this, there is no recent overview of the literature on bingo. In response, this narrative review explores the development of literature on bingo since the 1980s, first providing a chronological overview of writing on bingo and then a brief account of major themes in the literature. The literature reviewed was primarily identified through searches of academic databases using search terms such as betting, bingo, electronic and gambling. We find that bingo research makes a number of important contributions: it allows better understanding of groups of overlooked gamblers, corrects biases in gambling literature against bingo as a site of study, highlights the importance of social and structural factors in understanding gambling and employs methodological approaches that are congruent with the people and practices being studied. Additionally, it provides new perspectives on gambling in terms of skill, affect, harm and control and offers a distinct viewpoint to analyse gambling and other phenomena.

O presente estudo tece considerações acerca das consequências advindas de uma eventual reabertura da exploração privada de cassinos no Brasil. Os ordenamentos jurídicos contemporâneos internacionais são, em sua grande maioria, favoráveis à regulamentação dos Jogos de Sorte e Azar, sobretudo através de cassinos, tendo em vista os benefícios sócio-econômicos decorrentes de tal atividade. Para tanto, todavia, a atuação do Estado é indispensável diante de seus efeitos negativos: o vício no jogo e a associação ao crime organizado. Neste sentido, portanto, buscamos apresentar, com base no sistema internacional, ideias e modelos que demonstram ser possível erradicar a criminalidade do setor e reduzir, e muito, as consequências sociais da ludopatia, maximizando, assim, os impactos positivos oferecidos pela atividade, quais sejam: fomento ao turismo, a geração de empregos e o desenvolvimento sócio-econômico regional.

Feminist researchers have argued for a focus on ‘everyday gambling’ and domestic spaces as sites of women’s leisure. In this article, we analyse how culture, class and gender shape the consumer practices of migrant women from Pacific Islands countries (Cook Islands and Tonga) who play bingo in regional Australia. This intersectional approach examines the effects of bingo in the everyday lives of these women. We show how migrant women gamblers have a distinctive experience of ‘lifestyle’ that is located within a meaningful symbolic order that values both domestic responsibilities and community relations within extended families, even when distance from the homeland and economic precarity entail social and financial pressures. While much policy research focuses on gambling harms, including the impact of electronic gaming machines or online gambling, here we show how bingo is embedded in social relations that mitigate many of the ongoing financial problems and deeper existential anxieties for those in precarious economic circumstances.

Gambling, which is an area of concurrent national and provincial competence, provides a lens into South African federalism and co-operative government. Bingo machines may play a disproportionately important role in determining the fate of provincial powers in South Africa as s 146 of the South African Constitution, which regulates conflict between national and provincial legislation, threatens to become the subject of a defining court
decision. The substance of the dispute is that the old-fashioned game of bingo has given way to bingo machines which have the look, feel and sound of casino slot machines. Some provincial legislation allows for the licensing of these machines, an approach resisted by central government. This mirrors a battle in the United States, where the same machines
were used in order to get around regulatory distinctions in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988.

I just had my major breakthrough while listening to the white noise from the space for 10 hours.
A reverse Bingo game, the bingo game is when each have a card filled with letter then one cross the letters in turn in hope for those letters to be a complete and continuously vertical/horizontal or diagonal line.
Suppose each player get a letter card or a letter card which they recombine the letter via Tertris block or by throwing Euler's dice and moving the blocks of letter along. Then after every player finished with that all of them/or each draw a word card randomly or somehow randomly pick a word from the dictionary (or an algorithm or a rule card determine how the letters they move create a number/set of number/some sort of criteria to match some criteria in words from dictionary.... etc). Now they each denote the letter which match the order of appearance in that choose word and see if the shape made by those letters from the word make a specific (winning) pattern (Or from a list of pattern each has certain score).
Then they pick a number card so that continuous or discrete pattern is translated into numbers, then they are free to choose to partition those number into four partitions with some overlap (not exceeding the 20% of the total), again they do add/minus and cross out the operators from a card as they process the number (those operators had to be continuous). The four sum denote four parameters for the process cellular automata, thus it evolve according to those rules.
Now there will be next round of chosen letters, the game divide here into making specific pattern along with evolution of the original pattern or the evolved pattern match the pattern derived from the chosen word, or to have the goal of eventually reaching certain pattern that match certain word(s).... etc.

In our submission, we:  draw on qualititative research we conducted into bingo between 2018 and 2020 which included participant observation at Crown Melbourne and interviews with people who played bingo at Crown Melbourne;  describe bingo provision at Crown Melbourne, provide an example of gambling harm to bingo players at Crown Melbourne and highlight Crown's practice of 'loss leading', whereby no-charge bingo is used to draw people into the casino;  outline provisions in the Gambling Regulations Act 2003 governing bingo operations in Victoria, observing that it is unclear which provisions cover bingo as provided by Crown Melbourne;  noting that bingo in Victoria is treated in regulation as a fundraising mechanism for community and charitable organisations (CCOs), question whether Crown Melbourne's provision of bingo is in keeping with the Act, in particular whether provisions requiring bingo in this context to be run without those doing so receiving financial benefit to do so, and whether the provision of bingo by a large gambling corporation such as Crown is consistent with legislative intent;  suggest that that Crown Melbourne places bingo players at risk of gambling harm by using bingo to entice them to gamble on EGMs;  note that community bingo-providers cannot compete with the prizes Crown offers;  express our view that it is not in the public interest for Crown to provide bingo in Victoria.

Most of us know how traditional bingo is played, players sit down in a room with at least one 15-number bingo card or more with their bingo markers. They patiently and hopefully wait for their numbers to be called from a sequence of 90 numbers that are randomly picked by a bingo caller. Once they hear their number called, the bingo players mark it with an ink dabber. When they’ve achieved a straight line, a cross, a “T” shape, a box shape, or a full card, players yell “Bingo” and collect whatever the winnings for that round are. Often, there is more than one winner, so the pot gets split up between the winners.
