Example
Example: a 75-ball bingo game in a classroom, called automatically
Cards handed out, the laptop on the projector: choose 75 balls, tick Read balls aloud, set Automatic calling to every 8 seconds, then press Full screen and Start.
- Each ball is drawn from those left in the cage, so no number comes up twice, and it lights up on the board.
- Someone shouts Bingo: press Pause, check their card against the board, then Resume.
- A ball called by mistake goes back with Undo.
| Letter | Numbers | Read aloud as, for example |
|---|---|---|
| B | 1–15 | B, 12 |
| I | 16–30 | I, 22 |
| N | 31–45 | N, 40 |
| G | 46–60 | G, 51 |
| O | 61–75 | O, 68 |
Every 8 seconds, all 75 balls would take 10 minutes, and most games end well before. With 90 balls (UK bingo) the numbers are read without a letter, and at 5 seconds the whole cage takes 7 min 30 s.
How it works
- Choose 75 balls (American bingo, B-I-N-G-O) or 90 balls (UK bingo, tombola), and whether the balls are read aloud.
- Press Draw ball (or the space bar) for each call — or set automatic calling every few seconds.
- The board lights every number called; press Full screen to show it on a TV or projector. A refresh keeps the game.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the draw fair?
- Yes. Each ball is drawn from the ones still in the cage with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so every remaining number is equally likely and none comes up twice.
- 75 or 90 balls?
- 75-ball bingo is played in the US and much of Latin America, on 5 × 5 cards under the letters B-I-N-G-O. 90-ball bingo — UK bingo, Italian tombola, Spanish bingo — uses tickets of three rows and numbers 1 to 90.
- Why is there no voice?
- The numbers are read by your device’s built-in voices. If it has none for this language (some Linux browsers), the caller stays silent and says so; the board still works.
- Can I print bingo cards too?
- Yes — print cards with the bingo card maker, each one different, then call the numbers here.
- Which numbers go with B-I-N-G-O?
- In 75-ball bingo, B is 1–15, I 16–30, N 31–45, G 46–60 and O 61–75, and each ball is read with its letter (“B, 12”). 90-ball bingo has no letters: the number is read alone.
- How long does a game take?
- Calling every ball takes the number of balls times the interval: 75 at 5 seconds is 6 min 15 s, at 12 seconds 15 minutes; 90 at 5 seconds is 7 min 30 s. A line is usually won long before the cage is empty.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. It runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
