BINGO
A game of chance in which each player has one or more cards printed with differently numbered squares on which to place markers when the respective numbers are drawn and announced by a caller. The first player to mark a complete row of numbers is the winner.

Bingo, since it was played in different countries and during different occasions, has come out with rather strange and bewildering terms that are commonly used now. Some of the most common terms that are used in Bingo are

Blackout: This is when all the numbers on the card have been covered. A blackout usually happens when the 50 th number is called. In the rarest of cases the period may extend to the 60 th number too.

Buy In : This is to convert the money into bingo cards.

Caller : He's the guy who calls out the numbers.

Card : The 5x5 card containing numbers from 1 to 75 and with blank space in between.

Dauber : It's a pen or an ink-filled device used to mark the numbers on the card.

Jackpot: This is a huge prize given when a difficult pattern is achieved.

Pattern : Pattern is a design that the players have to achieve so as to win the game. The patterns can be simple and difficult too. Simple patterns are T, 6 pack, 9 pack, all ends etc.
