Randomly chosen numbers, usually up to 75 or 90, are called out by a banker. The first player to achieve a card (or a line) in which all of the numbers have been called shouts bingo or house and collects the entire stake money, usually less a specified percentage, if that is permitted by local law.
Up to 15 players are randomly issued a number from 1 to 15 which corresponds with the top row of the bingo flashboard. Numbers are then drawn and the first person to have all five numbers in their column be drawn wins.
