Bingo is a very simple yet exciting game of chance. Bingo Island is based on the American version of the Bingo game. Each player gets a 5x5 matrix card with 24 random numbers on it, ranging from 1 to 75. A Random Numbers Generator (RNG) produces balls with numbers of the same range and those announced numbers. If the announced numbers match the numbers on the card, the player will mark them with a daub (a saucer shaped red icon). The first player to mark all the numbers on his cards calls "Bingo!" and wins the game.

Bingo Island allows you a bit more than the basics, though. First things first - different rooms provide you with different ways to win. The classic Bingo game requires you to fill all 24 numbers, also known as "Blackout" or "Full House" patterns. On top of that, some rooms generate a random pattern for each game session. If you fill in the pattern you can claim Bingo, making the game much more interesting and fun to play.

There are all kinds of patterns, such as the Letter shaped patterns (I.e. L, Y, E), roving columns (any column), roving rows (any row), roving stamps (any 4 numbers in one of the card's corners), plus (+), roving small plus (like a plus, but clipped by one square at each end, anywhere on the card), etc... There are many more and we keep on adding more to them.

Each bingo room also has a different time interval between each ball the RNG announces. Faster rooms are quite challenging to play, with new numbers dropping very fast. If you want a more relaxed game, join the slower rooms.

The earliest recorded pseudo-bingo appeared in Italy at about 1530 under the title "Lo Giuoco Code Loto", which was actually more of a lottery game rather than the cards, daubs and balls used nowadays. These appeared by the 18th century in France and in the early 19th century in Germany for tutoring children mathematics, spelling and animal names.

The birth of "Bingo" as we know it today is reserved to Edwin Lowe. In 1929 Lowe noticed a game called Beano being played at a carnival in Atlanta. The players, using dried beans, a rubber numbering stamp and cardboard, were so engrossed in the game that only the intervention of the Carnival manager asking them to "leave or else..." stopped the game from going on beyond 3:00 AM. Lowe took the idea back to New York where he organized a few private games to friends, also using beans, rubber stamps and cardboard in the demonstration. The legend tells that one of his friendly players was so enthusiastic about winning the game that he yelled "Bingo" instead of "Beano", and so the name stuck. When Lowe saw the success of those small gatherings he decided to organize public sessions, selling a 12-card set for $1 and a 24-card set for $2. He also allowed competitors to thrive, asking them to pay a $1 annual fee for conducting the games and using the "Bingo" brand. It took only 10 years before the entire U.S. was officially swarmed with Bingo parlors.
