patterns available. Once you find a pattern and wish to play, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to make your selection. Now, as the numbers are called, try and fill the pattern. Once you've filled the pattern, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to claim your bingo.
WILD BINGO 1 & 2
Just as before, choose WILD 1 using MODE SELECT and the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button. This game is just like Standard Bingo except for one key difference. At the beginning of the game, a "wild" number will be called. When this happens, you will have 15 seconds to daub any number on any of your cards that has the same LAST DIGIT as the number called.
EXAMPLE: If the wild number called is B12, then you may daub B2, N32, G52, O72, etc. The "2" at the end of B12 is what you're looking for.
But things aren't going to be that easy. You also have to claim TWO Bingos instead of one in order to win. They can be in any direction as long as FIVE numbers are connected in each. Once you have two Bingos, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to claim them.
In Wild Bingo 2, another "wild" number is called immediately after the first one, and you have to get THREE Bingos to win.
MULTI-PLAYER BINGO
Multi-player Bingo has the same rules as Standard Bingo, except this time, you and your friends use the included BINGO CARDS and CHIPS to play as the main unit calls out the numbers.
After selecting MULTI-PLAYER BINGO, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to begin your new game. Now pass out the included Bingo CARDS and CHIPS to all of the players. When everyone is ready, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button again to begin the game.
The Main Unit will now begin to call out Bingo numbers. As the numbers are called, everyone must check their cards to see if they have one. If you do, mark it by placing one of the CHIPS over the number.
NOTE: If a player wants to double-check the numbers that have already been called, simply press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to pause the game, then press the SCROLL LEFT / RIGHT buttons with the DAUBING STYLUS to scroll through all of the called numbers.
The game is over when one player gets BINGO. If a player thinks he or she has Bingo, press the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button to pause the game and verify the numbers. If there was a mistake and the player doesn't have Bingo, press the
BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button again to continue play. If a player
DOES have Bingo, hold down the BINGO / START / ENTER / NEW GAME button for 2 seconds to begin a new game.
