ABSTRACT:
A bingo card is provided having a matrix of seven columns and seven rows. Play is conducted according to the conventional manner of play of bingo, but using the seven-by-seven matrix. Because the size of the matrix has been increased, additional winning combinations are available and players can be paid for being the first player to achieve a four spot bingo, a five spot bingo, a six spot bingo, a seven spot bingo and so forth. This permits multiple winners during each round of the game of bingo and the amount of the payouts can be based on the relative difficulty of obtaining each type of winning combination. An alternative bingo card and method of play includes the designation of the sixth and seventh row and the sixth and seventh column of the seven-by-seven bingo card as distinctly demarcated sections of the bingo card, for example by using a different color or colors for these rows and columns. Players achieving a winning combination in certain specified sections of the bingo card could be paid varying amount as the payout. A progressive feature can be added to the method of play of bingo in which the player makes a separate, additional wager to be eligible for the progressive jackpot payout.
