Benefits of technology

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for playing a bingo-type game which overcomes the above-described shortcomings associated with the known forms of both electronic and non-electronic bingo games, by presenting the player with a strategic decision for at least a portion of the bingo balls that are drawn and that may be daubed on the player's card. It is still a further object of the present invention to provide visual indicia familiar to a large number of gaming patrons that will quickly and easily convey the strategic decisions available to the players of said bingo game.

Problems solved by technology

Also, because a computer or other electronic device is used to monitor the bingo game, far more complex bingo patterns can be used than with non-electronic bingo games.
Thus the amount of player interaction in non-electronic bingo is very limited.

In the typical non-electronic form each player purchases at least one bingo card (but often more than one card) that is good for a specified drawing of bingo balls, e.g., the nine o'clock drawing. Each drawing uses a predetermined number of bingo balls, t...
