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.
