Each player then places a maker on the center "Free Space" on his or her Bingo card.
The Caller spins the spinner and calls out the letter & number the spinner points to.
The Caller places a marker on the tally card for this letter & number.
Players then look for the letter & number on their cards. If the number appears on a player's card, a marker is placed on that square.
End of the Game
When a player has placed 5 markers in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, the player calls out "Bingo!"
When a player calls out "Bingo!", the Caller checks the player's card against the master tally card to make certain that the letters and numbers marked, have been called.
If the letters & numbers are correct the player who called "Bingo!" is the winner.
