There are many patterns on which you could win a bingo. If the particular game you are playing stipulates that you need to have a "horizontal bingo" in order to win, you must form a straight, horizontal line on your bingo card. This will entail having five numbers align horizontally across your bingo card. So, when the bingo balls are called out, watch for a horizontal line going from left to right across your bingo card!
Horizontal bingos aren't hard to get. If you get one across the middle line that includes the free space then you only need 4 numbers to win! A high percentage of single line bingos end up being horizonal. Good luck to you on your next game!
Make sure to pay close attention when playing for a horizontal bingo. For some reason players miss horizontal bingos more often than vertical or diagonal ones. Who knows why... it must be the magic of bingo! But even if you miss one and you're frustrated, make sure to mind your bingo chat etiquette!
