How do you play bingo on the Golden Hearts Bingo website?

Each individual bingo game is a promotional game with a set cash prize and a set bingo pattern required to achieve a bingo and win. (The amount of each game’s cash prize and the bingo pattern needed to win are displayed on screen at all times during game play. Golden Hearts Bingo also publishes a prize schedule of game times and winning cash payout amounts. To review that prize schedule click here.

For example, in a “Coverall” game players need to correctly match all 24 numbers on any one bingo card (plus the Free spot in the center position) they have in play in that “Coverall” game to be eligible to win.

When a player enters each game, they have a set number of bingo cards based on their subscription level or “Week Pass” status, and/or based on how many (if any) additional bingo cards they purchased with their bonus Golden Hearts Virtual Currency just prior to entering that game.

Each bingo card has 25 spaces (typically, but not always, 24 spaces with numbers plus one FREE SPACE in the center) in a 5x5 matrix. Each bingo card column is headed by a letter: B, I, N, G and O, with five randomly selected numbers, from 1 to 75, in each column under each letter, with numbers grouped according to the following table:

Letter	Number Range
B	1-15
I	16 -30
N	31 – 45
G	46 -60
O	61 – 75

When a bingo game commences, a letter-number combination (from the table above) is randomly selected by the Golden Hearts Bingo electronic computer system and is then immediately displayed on screen for all players to see simultaneously. (If your audio is enabled the bingo number also will be  simultaneously audibly announced). After each letter-number combination is called, players should click the “Daub” button on their game screen, in order to automatically mark off that posted letter-number combination on any and all of the bingo cards they are then playing in that game. When the “Daub” button is so clicked or tapped, then that letter-number combination is automatically crossed off – “daubed” –  wherever and whenever it appears on any or all of their bingo cards in that game.

In Golden Hearts Bingo, players do not need to worry about falling behind, or missing a letter-number combination, or a chance to click or tap the “Daub,” button: Golden Hearts Bingo games have been designed to be as fun and friendly as possible, so every time any player clicks or taps their “Daub” button, the system automatically checks to make sure all previously called letter-number combinations in that game (up to that moment,) are correctly daubed (that is, if the player’s bingo cards contain any or all of the previously called letter-number combinations.) This feature is also helpful when a player enters a bingo game after it has started, but there is no winner yet. In that case, when that late-starting player first taps or clicks their “Daub” button, that player is instantly, completely, caught up in that game.

Throughout games, the Golden Hearts Bingo system displays the status of the player’s various bingo cards (for example, what pattern is needed to win, and which letter-numbers have been “daubed”) and also displays how close a player is to achieving a win on one or more of their bingo cards, taking into account the current bingo pattern in play in that game, and what letter-number combinations have been called so far. If a player achieves a valid bingo win claim on any one of their bingo cards, the message bar at the top of their game screen will indicate that, and the “BINGO” button on their game screen will become highlighted, and active to make a win claim. But players must click or tap the “BINGO” button on their game screen to actually claim a win. The system does not automatically make win claims for players, even if they have an eligible win claim on one or more of their bingo cards. If a player does not click or tap the “BINGO” button on their game screen, that player will NOT be eligible to win, regardless of the status of their bingo cards.

In the event another player in a game (not you) achieves a valid win and taps or clicks their “BINGO” button, then that game immediately stops calling new letter-number combinations and all other players in that game are given 15 seconds to tap or click their “Daub” buttons if they choose to do so (to catch-up on any numbers they may have missed) and/or also to tap or click their “BINGO” buttons to also claim a win in that game. When that 15 second period is concluded, if a player has not made a valid win claim, then their game screen will indicate that that game is officially and finally concluded and will invite them to queue up for the next bingo game. (Golden Hearts Bingo games begin every 15 minutes around the clock, on the hour, quarter hour, half hour, and three-quarters hour.)

Unless specified otherwise as part of a particular game’s organization, if more than one player successfully claims a win in any one Golden Hearts Bingo game, then the prize for that one game is equally split between all valid win claims. If the prize amount cannot be equally split due to the number of winners in that game, then each winner’s win amount will be rounded up to make all win amounts equal.

When a Golden Hearts Bingo game has officially and finally concluded, all winners in that game are informed of how many winners there were in that game, as well as how much of the prize they are entitled to.

All determinations of game rules, game outcomes, game winners and prize win amounts are final, and are made at the sole and exclusive discretion of Golden Hearts Gaming Inc.
