ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) for monitoring and registering a bingo game includes an arrangement for entering and storing a game card identifier (32) associated with each game card (30) issued in a game sequence. The apparatus (10) also includes storage (16) for storing the card pattern of each card issued in the game sequence, along with all of the symbols drawn by a game operator during the game sequence. A winning pattern comparing arrangement is connected to the card pattern and drawn symbol storage (16) and operates to compare the potential winning symbol patterns of each card issued in the game sequence with each drawn symbol immediately after the symbol is drawn. The comparison is to determine each match between the drawn symbol and a card symbol and discover the winning card in the game sequence. The apparatus (10) further includes a display for displaying the card identifier of the winning card or cards to the game operator and players.
