The balls or other designators in the selection device are numbered in the same manner as the possible numbers on the bingo cards, from one (1) through seventy-five (75).

Upon approval of the Bingo-Raffle Advisory Board there may be other forms of bingo games allowed, such as, but not limited to, Blackouts, Bonanza, and "U-Pick Em" games. The game begins when the first number is called and ends when a player has covered the previously designated arrangement and declares a bingo.
