What you need |
|
 |
Many kinds of markers
exist and have greatly
evolved over the
years. Originally
beans where used to
mark called numbers,
now days special bingo
markers filled with
colored ink are sold
along with cards at
bingo halls and
special markers can
even be bought over
the internet. Finally
the method of drawing
numbers must be
random, but as long as
it is you can use just
about any method to
draw them. For small
games just for fun
drawing numbers out of
a hat works fine, the
most common way for
smaller paid for games
such as those at
churches is a machine
that us spun and
randomly spits out one
of 75 balls marked
with a different
letter and number on
the bingo card. Larger
bingo operations have
switched to using
large electronic
boards that can be
used to not only show
which numbers have
been called but
randomly generate the
numbers themselves.
Not only does this
make it easy for
players to manage
their cards, but it
makes calling numbers
simple and removes the
chance to cheat.
