Players compete against one another to be the first to have a winning arrangement for the prize or jackpot. When a player finds that the selected numbers are arranged on their card in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, they call out 'Bingo!' to alert all participants to a winning card, which prompts the game host (or an associate assisting the host) to examine the card for verification of the win. The game host (known as a caller) draws balls at random, marking the selected numbers with tiles. In the United States and Canada, bingo is a game of chance in which each player matches the numbers printed in different arrangements on cards.
