Castledowns Bingo Number
Bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches numbers printed in different arrangements on cards which the numbers the game host (caller) draws at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles.
Players compete against one another to be the first to have a winning arrangement for the prize or jackpot. When a player finds the selected numbers are arranged on their card in the correct pattern for that game, they call out “Bingo!” to alert all participants to a winning card, which prompts a staff member to examine the card for verification of the win.
After a winner is declared, the players discard the cards for that game and the game host begins a new round of play.
The pattern that wins the current game and the numbers that have been called, will be displayed on the light up boards, located in four locations around the perimeter of the gym.

You can choose how many cards you’d like to play per game, and how many games you’d like to play in advance and then purchase more from the radio volunteers circulating around the hall by holding up the appropriate “waver” for them to see. You’ll also need to purchase a dauber to mark your cards, which can be purchased in a variety of colours by filling out your menu card for one of the servers to deliver to your table.
