How to play electronic bingo

What is electronic bingo?

Much like traditional bingo, electronic bingo follows the same basic rules. Players buy a credit slip from the cashier however instead of dabbing numbers on paper, players log on to electronic bingo terminals and “dab” at cards on a touch screen.

The best part about electronic bingo terminals is the “self dab” tracking feature. As numbers are called, players select the corresponding keys on the electronic bingo screen. The “self dab” tracking feature will automatically scan the player’s bingo cards to check if the player has the number.

This tool is a way to try and help players from missing out on a potential “Bingo” win.

If a card wins a Bingo, the player will still need to call "Bingo" and verify their winning card. Players still need to ensure that the caller hears them call “Bingo” and stop the game.

Step by step of how to play

Open your account

  • See cashier to arrange a credit slip.
  • Enter your own two to four numerical PIN to activate your credit slip.
  • Do not share your PIN.
  • You will be given a credit slip with a random five digit number on the bottom. Do not lose this as you will need this to log on to the electronic bingo terminal.

Signing onto a terminal

  • Enter your 5-digit number followed by your PIN.
  • Select the ‘Menu’ button to get to the main menu screen.

Playing bingo

  • Purchase drop-in cards or a package once you are logged in and before the caller starts the game.
  • Note: Players cannot purchase cards once a game begins.
  • Begin dabbing the cards once the game starts.
  • The numbers called will appear highlighted in yellow on the screen.
  • Begin to dab the cards on the touch screen or touch the Easy Daub button on the top right corner of the screen.
  • The Easy Dab button will change to the ‘Best Card’ button during play. This will always show the best card the player has during game play in case players are playing more cards than fit on one screen
  • IN ORDER TO REGISTER A BINGO, YOU MUST DAB YOUR CARDS. You can do this either by touching the screen or using the Easy Dab function.
  • A blue ‘Bingo’ screen will appear and you must touch this box to register your bingo. Winnings will be credited directly into your account.
  • Sign out of your account and go to the cashier to collect your money.
