players are provided with the cards(which players can choose from hundreds of
cards), the caller calls the numbers. One should pay attention to listen the numbers
called by the caller and mark them quickly and accurately in the provided bingo
cards. The job of the caller is to keep on calling the numbers until one player
claims BINGO. To claim bingo a player should complete a bingo in a pattern such
as line with five numbers announced by the caller in horizontal, vertical or diagonal
row on the provided card and voila! he/she wins the prize.
