{{work|wppage=Bingo (American version)}}
B-I-N-G-O is its name-o and it's one of the more continually popular board games in North America. (There's [[w:Bingo (British version)|a different version with more numbers]] played in the UK; that version is called "Kinzo" in Quebec.) Weekly gatherings for it are still found in many churches and community centers.
Overall, '''Bingo''' is a game of chance. Each Bingo player gets one or more cards, each with a 5×5 grid marked with various numbers. The center cell of each card is often designated "free" and may be covered first. While a "caller" draws numbers, the players mark off the numbers on their cards. The first person to accurately mark off a certain pattern of called numbers on his card (usually five in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally), and shout BINGO! is declared the winner.
Stereotypically, it's known as a game that old people like to play. Because bingo is a game of chance with prizes offered, how gambling regulation would affect it tends to be a talking point for politicians looking toward the older demographic.
