Does it help to play multiple cards?
Playing multiple cards increases your odds to win, but also increases the cost to play.
If there are 100 Bingo cards and you increase the cards you play from 1 card to 5, your odds go up from 1 in 100 to 5 in 100.Your cost of play also increased by 5 times without any guarantee of winning. Whether it’s worth it is up to you, and may depend on your budget.
Go ahead and play a few more cards for the fun of it, but not because you think it will guarantee a win.
Does avoiding crowds help my chances?
Yes, but there’s a catch. Here’s how it works: There are more players in peak hours, from Thursday to Sunday evenings, which means lower odds of winning, but much higher prizes if you win.
Fewer players in off-peak hours means better odds, but smaller prizes. Choose your play time based on preference: a better chance of winning small vs. winning big.
Do certain patterns help my chances?
Since the balls are always drawn at random, the odds that the numbers on your card will be called are exactly the same as every other card. Different patterns are simply designed to create fun and variety.
Does more experience give me an edge?
Whether you're an old hand at Bingo or new to the game, the level of experience makes no difference to the chance to win. Odds are the same for every card. But if you're practiced at the game, you may be less likely to miss a chance to yell Bingo!
Should I start with fewer cards?
If you’re a beginner and find it a challenge to keep up with the speed of the calls, you may be playing too many cards. Try not to play more cards than you can manage.
You won’t want to miss out on a single number or a completed pattern for a Bingo!
Stay Focused
Be sure to pay close attention to the caller and the screens to catch the numbers as they’re called.
Remember to take breaks – at intermission – to help keep up your concentration.
