The players attempt to form patterns on their cards. The first player to have a complete pattern wins the game. Currently, there are different variations of bingo, and the desired pattern can change. For instance, players can try to fill a row or a column, fill the entire card, or form a specific predetermined pattern.
The way to play can be adapted to specific situations. For instance, in U Pick 'Em Bingo, the cards are always identical with all the 75 numbers that exist in the game, and the players cross out the numbers they will need to win the game.
