A bingo card printed on heavy cardboard material usually with shutters to cover each
number as it is called. A bingo card contains 24 numbered spaces and one "free
space." The numbers are arranged in five rows or columns of five numbers each. The
numbers in the "B" row contain five numbers between 1 and 15, picked at random.
The numbers in the "I" row contain five numbers between 16 and 30. The numbers
in the "N" row contain four numbers between 31 and 45 and the "free
space." The numbers in the "G" row contain five numbers between 46 and 60.
The numbers in the "O" row contain five numbers between 61 and 75. Players have
thousands of unduplicated cards to pick from. Some manufacturers print unduplicated series
of 6,000 cards. There are also series of 9,000 cards available. Hard cards and
"flimsy" cards have a series number printed on them. Card number 1252, for
example, will always have the same numbers in the same spaces. Hard cards are fast
becoming a thing of the past. Soon they may even be collector's items!
