75-ball and 90-ball bingo
75-ball: numbers 1 to 75 in five columns: B (1 to 15), I (16 to 30), N (31 to 45), G (46 to 60) and O (61 to 75). Cards are 5 by 5 with a free space in the middle.
90-ball: numbers 1 to 90. Cards have 3 rows of 9 columns, and players usually win for one line, two lines, then a full house.
Is it random?
Yes. At the start of each game, the whole order of the balls is shuffled with your browser's cryptographic random number generator. Each press of Call reveals the next ball, so no number can come up twice and every order is equally likely.
Questions
Does it print bingo cards?
Not yet. It calls the numbers; use your own cards.
Can it read the numbers out?
Yes, using your device's built-in voice. Turn off Read numbers aloud for a silent game. Some older browsers have no voice.
Can a number come up twice?
No. Each game uses every number once, in a random order.
