Bingo Equipment

Most bingo halls have 1-2 bingo blowers and 1-2 flashboards. The blowers all have four features, a chamber to blow the balls from, a tube to permit 1 ball at a time, a master board, and a way to return the balls from the board to the chamber.

Most modern blowers have a simple computer, that can be programmed to display certain games, in a certain order, called a session. Some new blowers run off standard household computers, and have their own GUI or Graphical User Interface, to operate the blower.

The flashboard is connected to the blower and will display up to 4 things, which numbers (if any) have been called, the pattern being played, how many numbers have been called, and how much the game is worth. Every time a BINGO is called, the person will read a card number, which will be entered into the computer for verification.
