Article: How to Call and Check for Winners in Bingo Games
Introduction
Bingo is a popular game that can be played online, and in this article, we will guide you on how to call a bingo game and check for winners on myfreebingocards.com. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, our step-by-step instructions will help you understand the process and make your bingo game experience enjoyable.
Choosing and Customizing Bingo Cards
Before starting the game, you need to choose the number of bingo cards based on the number of players. You can customize the cards if desired, and we have a separate video explaining how to do that. Once you have selected the cards, you will be taken to the Bingo Game Manager.
The Bingo Game Manager
The Bingo Game Manager is the central hub where you can initiate and manage your bingo game. To start the game, simply click on "Call Game." The system will generate a random call sequence for you to read out to the players. It is important to note that the system does not send the calls out to the players, so you must choose a platform to communicate the calls.
The Caller
Calling the Bingo
As the caller, your role is to announce the random call sequence generated by the system. You can use platforms like Zoom, Facebook Live, or other streaming platforms to communicate the calls to your players. The players can respond by shouting out "bingo" when they believe they have won.
Platforms for Communicating the Calls
Choose a platform that suits your preferences and allows seamless communication between you and the players. Zoom calls, Facebook Live, and email are common methods used by players to receive the calls and respond.
Verifying Bingo Claims
Once a player claims to have bingo, you need to verify their claim. Ask the player for their bingo card ID, such as "ID 55." By viewing their card through the system, you can check if it matches the winning pattern described before the game started. Our system allows you to check for any winning patterns without prior information, as you can immediately see if the claimed pattern exists on the bingo card.
Different Winning Patterns
Before the game starts, inform your players about the winning patterns you will be using. You can choose patterns like "five in a row" or "ticking off the whole card." It gives players a clear understanding of the rules and expectations before they start marking their bingo cards.
Call Sequences
Each game uses a call sequence to announce numbers randomly. Default call sequence number one is used for the initial game. However, if you wish to start a new game with a different order of calls, switch to call sequence number two or choose from the available call sequences. This feature allows players to come back to the game over multiple days or weeks without repeating the same call order.
Restarting the Game
Once the current game is over, you have the option to restart the game. If you want to maintain the same call sequence order, choose "Call Sequence 1." However, if you want a different order for each game, select "Call Sequence 2" or any other available call sequence.
Manual Caller
If you prefer to use your own ball cage to pick random numbers instead of relying on the system's call sequence, the manual caller option is available. You can mark the numbers off manually and still use our winner checker to verify if a player is a winner. This option is useful for those who have their own physical means of selecting numbers.
Word Bingo
Apart from traditional number-based bingo, our system also supports word bingo. In word bingo, the call sequences comprise words instead of numbers. This is beneficial if you want to tick things off in the order they appear or are seen, such as while watching a movie. The winner checker works the same way for word bingo, allowing you to quickly verify if a player has achieved the desired pattern.
Conclusion
Calling and checking for winners in bingo games on myfreebingocards.com has never been easier. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can confidently host a bingo game online and ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. Remember to communicate the rules and winning patterns before the game starts and use the available features like call sequences and manual caller to customize your game.
