If you notice two numbers later that you had Bingo, you may no longer claim it.
(While most people mark their cards correctly, it is not unheard of for someone to yell Bingo without having followed the directions precisely.) Keep in mind, you can only win if you complete the required shape on the last number called. The spaces marked correspond to letter-and-number combinations randomly chosen and announced by a person known as a 'caller.' The first person to form the required shape yells, 'BINGO' and wins a prize (usually cash) if he or she has marked all spaces correctly. Unless you live under a rock, you'll know that bingo is a game in which players aim to form predetermined shapes - lines, squares, Xs, four corners - on a card by marking spaces on the card's grid. In general, the jackpots would start at around 500 and go up to more than 12,000, depending on the amount being played. Want to know more about how it works, how much it costs and what you can win? Check out our bingo breakdown below. Bingo has been a part of the cruise ship experience for decades, bringing complete strangers together as they purchase what they hope will be the luckiest cards in the room. 'BINGO!' One excited shout and multiple frustrated grumbles in the crowd mean someone has likely won a prize.
