Electronic Bingo (eBingo)
eBingo is a new electronic way to play Bingo. Instead of using a dauber and paper cards, eBingo is played on an electronic touchscreen that automatically daubs the numbers for you. This makes it a great game for beginners just learning how to play. Play it instead of traditional paper bingo or at the same time.
The Object of the Game
Just like paper bingo, players must match the numbers on their electronic cards to those called. The first player to match all numbers in the requested pattern and yell “Bingo!”, wins.

1. Set your budget
To play eBingo, you’ll need to purchase electronic credits from the Customer Service Representative at a point of sale counter. Plan how much you want to spend in advance, so you don’t go over budget. This will allow you to stay focused on having fun.
2. Enter your player ID
When you purchase your electronic credits, you’ll be assigned a player account. To access it, use the keypad on screen to enter your player ID (found on your receipt) and the password you entered at the point of sale when purchasing credits. Your player ID and password allow you to access your credits at any eBingo terminal.
4. Play the Game
As numbers are called during the bingo session, the computer will automatically daub the numbers for you on all your cards. All you need to do is watch your cards to see if you have a Bingo.
5. Yell Bingo!
While the eBingo screen will let you know when you have a Bingo, you must touch the BINGO button to acknowledge it. And like traditional paper bingo, you still have to yell Bingo! to alert your caller.
