General Gameplay
Playing Bingo is actually quite simple. You can receive a set of up to eight Bingo cards depending on which room you join. Each Bingo card is a 5 x 5 grid with the letters "B," "I," "N," "G," and "O" at the top of each column. Under each letter are five numbers, except the center space. This is always considered "marked."
Some spaces may be darkened depending on the current game pattern, which is shown in the upper left-hand corner of the game window. To win, you must match the pattern by marking off the numbers as they are called before another player does. If you have completed the pattern you can claim Bingo by clicking the button. If another player has Bingo first, the game is over, that player wins, and a new game will start.
A number is "called" every 2 seconds. If you have the "Enable sound" box checked, you should hear the number being called. It will also be displayed, in large text, in the box directly above the left Bingo card. Directly to the right of this box, all the previous numbers already called in the game will be displayed in rows.
