Question
How do I play Three Eyed Bingo?
Answer
Three-Eyed Bingo is a free, massively multiplayer game with chat where you can win up to $4,999 (four thousand nine hundred ninety nine U.S. dollars)!
How to play:
- To win, check off the specified pattern in LIGHT TAN color on all three bingo cards, then click the "Bingo!" button. The pattern spells a three-lettered word. The first valid claim wins. Do not accidentally check off the inverse of the pattern (that is, the DARK BROWN)--checking off numbers that are not in the pattern will not prevent you from winning, but they don't help you win either.
- The specified pattern is pictured under the bingo cards, next to the words "CURRENT PATTERN". In the example below, the pattern spells "SOS".
- One new bingo ball is available and automatically displayed every seven seconds.
- The game ends after 60 bingo balls have been dropped, whether or not there is a winner.
- Use your mouse to check off the numbers on your cards that correspond to the numbered balls shown on our bingo board.
- When you click on a square on the bingo card, it will display a daub mark to show it has been checked.
- You can remove the daub mark by clicking on the square a second time.
- Win bonus GV Rewards by daubing numbers that match the gold bingo balls!
- You do not have to check off the numbers that are not needed to complete the special pattern. But be sure the winning numbers are all checked off before clicking "Bingo!"
- When a game ends it is followed by a brief intermission, then a new game begins.
Please note that Lycos Gamesville operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The times found on the winners page are based on the GMT time zone, and not the winners respective time zone. Please be sure to read the official rules for each game for more details.
