Bingo is no longer the preferred pastime for overzealous retirees. This game of luck is an enjoyable and exciting activity suited to all ages.
If you've never played before, the rules are easy to follow. Players are given a card marked with randomly selected numbers. One person, acting as the bingo caller, selects numbers from an anonymous draw. Players mark the numbers off on their card if they are called out and when they have marked off all their numbers, they call out, "Bingo!" The first player to do so is the winner.
Bingo games are often part of the schedule at pubs and clubs around town. To find out where your next game of bingo is being played, try your local community hall, leagues club or
RSL club.
Otherwise, you can organise your own games at home. Visit
this website to print out the cards, brush up on your
bingo slang and then invite your friends to join you.
