Supplemental Details:


bingo - (noun), A game of chance played by selecting numbers randomly from 1 to 75 and attempting to match them on a 5 row by 5 column card, where each cell contains 1 number. Each column's cells are filled with 1 of 5 numbers randomly selected from a group of 15 assigned to each specific column. A live bingo game is run by a caller, who randomly selects numbers from the group of 75, reading them out to the players. This continues until a player wins, usually based on connecting 5 cells in a row, though many games require other numbers or patterns to win. Since the rise of the Internet, bingo has moved online, which has led to virtual bingo cards. These online bingo halls have replaced the caller with software that randomly selects and reveals the bingo numbers.
