Bingo Chips

Choose your Bingo Chips

Bingo is a popular game that can be played with any number of people. Purely banking on luck, players assemble in large numbers to select numbers on a 'bingo card' that has numbers appearing in 5x5 matrices. Bingo chips are chief accessories in the game, used in place of markers and daubers. The objective of the Bingo games is to mark out all the numbers that are called out on the card. The announcer draws a ball with the letters B-I-N-G-O on it, with corresponding numbers. As each of the numbers is called out, players cover the numbers with bingo chips on their cards.

It's a 'bingo' for the first one who manages to cover all the squares in the pattern with the bingo chips. The card is checked by the conductor of the game before announcing the winner to the group. At large gatherings of players at VFW halls and church halls, magnetic or plastic chips are more convenient than the markers or bingo daubers. These are made from transparent plastic, and can be magnetic too. Re reusable, they can also be used to mark numbers on the card with them.

The popularity of the game has led manufacturers to come up with quite a striking assortment of the plastic chips sold in tubs and packs. The magnetic chips ones are preferred by some for the convenience they offer in clearing up the bingo card. A magnetic wand is another accessory introduced by manufacturers that sweeps the magnetic bingo chips in one go. While the game remains the same, innovations in the equipment used is adding to the color and excitement.
