Bingo Master

Bingo Master is a customised version of Soleau Software's Bingo Buddies.

This game is played using the US version of bingo cards, i.e the cards are a 5x5 square with just the central square being 'free'. Games are played won by completing a variety of patterns, whereas in the UK games are generally won by just lines, corners or a full house.

The player starts by competing with some AI friends in small time bingo games to win a bankroll, they then compete against up to forty unseen AI players in one of the themed games, all games are identical but the backgrounds are different. As with real bingo there are bonuses awarded for winning a round in a specified number of calls.

Players can play up to three cards in a game and can choose between marking their cards manually or having the game do it for them, when played manually the CTRL and ALT keys are used to 'shout BINGO!'

Also available here are in-game rules, a history of the game, and the option to have the game call out numbers so the player can play at home with friends using pen & paper.

A 'Special Edition' of this game with a reduced number of locations was included in a number of eGames' compilation CDs.
