¿Alguna vez has jugado Bingo? / Have you ever played Bingo? [ESP/ENGL]

in VisualBlock2 years ago

Saludos nuevamente hoy Domingo 26 de febrero, a la comunidad de Visualblock. Para hoy he querido compartir un juego de mesa, que poco a poco, en su versión original, ha quedado en el olvido, y se trata del BINGO, el cual se jugaba muchísimo cuando yo era niña, y aún hoy se juega tanto en línea, digital, como en los casinos, pero quizás ha perdido el encanto de su versión original, que es el bombo que se gira con la mano y se van extrayendo las bolitas enumeradas.

Greetings again today, Sunday February 26, to the Visualblock community. For today I wanted to share a board game, which little by little, in its original version, has been forgotten, and it is BINGO, which was played a lot when I was a child, and today it is still played both online, digitally, and in casinos, but perhaps it has lost the charm of its original version, which is the drum that is turned by hand and the numbered balls are extracted.

Cuando era pequeña, como a los 6 años, era normal que algunos niños y muchachos de la urbanización, nos reuniésemos en alguna casa para jugar diferentes juegos de mesa, tales como bingo, ludo, monopolio… eran horas y horas jugando y riéndonos, a veces peleando porque alguno hacía trampa, o quizás otro no estaba conforme con el resultado. También era un tema jugar, porque éramos muchos y algunos juegos sólo aceptan un número reducido de jugadores, como es el caso del Ludo, por eso nos gustaban otros juegos más amplios como el Monopolio y el Bingo.


When I was little, around 6 years old, it was normal for some children and boys from the urbanization to meet in a house to play different board games, such as bingo, ludo, monopoly... hours and hours playing and laughing, sometimes fighting because someone was cheating, or perhaps another was not satisfied with the result. It was also a matter of playing, because there were a lot of us and some games only accept a small number of players, as is the case with Ludo, that's why we liked other larger games like Monopoly and Bingo.

Con toda franqueza, al principio yo me perdía en los cartones y lo cuando “cantaban” las bolitas que iban sacando del bombo; sin embargo, mi papá viendo mi incomprensión del juego, me explicó. Él de pequeño también jugó Bingo, puesto que era normal en esas épocas de mediados del siglo XX, y además en cierto período de tiempo, su familia tuvo una situación económica muy dura, por lo que mi abuela se las ingenió para ganar algo de sustento: Colocó una venta de empanadas, café y refrescos y como atractivo adicional se compró un Bingo y entonces la gente iba al final de la tarde, y jugaban, pagando por cada jugada o cartón, y a la vez consumían lo que vendía mi abuela. Fueron unos pocos años con este negocio, así que mi papá sabía muy bien cómo jugar Bingo, y él me explicó.

Frankly, at first I got lost in the cardboard and when they "sang" the little balls they were taking out of the bass drum; however, my dad, seeing my lack of understanding of the game, explained it to me. He also played Bingo when he was little, since it was normal in those times of the mid-twentieth century, and also in a certain period of time, his family had a very difficult economic situation, so my grandmother managed to earn some livelihood: He set up a sale of empanadas, coffee and soft drinks and as an additional attraction he bought a Bingo and then people went at the end of the afternoon, and played, paying for each play or card, and at the same time consuming what my grandmother sold. It was a few years with this business, so my dad knew very well how to play Bingo, and he explained it to me.

Recuerdo esos momentos con alegría, tanto cuando me explicaba mi papá el juego, como cuando yo lo jugaba. Por eso es que años después, ya siendo adulta, ví este juego en una tienda que queda cerca de mi casa y me lo compré. Debe tener conmigo unos 12 años, y realmente lo hemos usado pocas veces en casa, por eso se ve intacto, pero las veces que hemos jugado es súper divertido. Si observan bien en las fotos, este juego tiene: Un bombo, en el cual se introducen las 75 bolitas plásticas numeradas, para luego girar el bombo y extraer la bolita que queda atascada en la cesta, o sea, es algo absolutamente aleatorio. Las bolitas tienen una letra que corresponde a alguna de la palabra BINGO y abajo tiene un número. En cada uno de los 100 cartones que trae el juego, hay 25 posibilidades de acertar, ya que debajo de cada letra de la palabra BINGO, hay un número, entonces si coincide la bolita extraída con lo que se tiene en el cartón, se marca; para lo cual por lo general se usan piedritas, o granos de maíz o frijol. Se gana cuando el jugador cubre o llena en el cartón una línea horizontal, vertical o diagonal; es decir, cinco casillas consecutivas; en ese momento se grita BINGO, se detiene el juego y quien acertó con su cartón, cobra el monto que está reunido, al cual se le llama pote. También trae un cartón grande, que sirve de guía a la persona que “canta” el Bingo, para saber qué bolitas han salido ya.

I remember those moments with joy, both when my dad explained the game to me, and when I played it. That's why years later, as an adult, I saw this game in a store near my house and bought it. It must be around 12 years old with me, and we've really used it a few times at home, that's why it looks intact, but the times we've played it, it's super fun. If you look closely at the photos, this game has: A drum, into which the 75 numbered plastic balls are inserted, to then turn the drum and extract the ball that remains stuck in the basket, that is, it is something absolutely random. The balls have a letter that corresponds to one of the word BINGO and below it has a number. In each of the 100 cards that the game brings, there are 25 chances to hit, since under each letter of the word BINGO, there is a number, so if the extracted ball matches what is on the card, it is marked ; for which generally pebbles, or grains of corn or beans are used. It is won when the player covers or fills a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line on the card; that is, five consecutive cells; at that moment, BINGO is shouted, the game stops and whoever hits their card collects the amount that is collected, which is called a pot. It also brings a large cardboard, which serves as a guide for the person who "sings" the Bingo, to know which balls have already come out.

No sé si ustedes han tenido la oportunidad de jugar Bingo así, en su versión original, porque sé bien que es un juego muy popular en los casinos, (yo he jugado en varias oportunidades), y también hay la versión digital; sin embargo, nada sustituye la emoción de jugarlo así, entre amigos o con la familia. Y tú, ¿has jugado Bingo?

I don't know if you have had the opportunity to play Bingo like this, in its original version, because I know very well that it is a very popular game in casinos (I have played it several times), and there is also a digital version; however, nothing replaces the excitement of playing it like this, with friends or family. And you, have you played Bingo?

Aquí finalizo mi post de hoy, en el cual quise compartir un recuerdo de mi infancia, un juego único, en su versión original. Saludos.


Here I end my post today, in which I wanted to share a memory from my childhood, a unique game, in its original version. Greetings.

You've brought back some early memories for me. I just remembered as a kid in school we played bingo. Then many people used to go to a bingo hall to play. I went a couple of times. I never won. Then the hall closed down and nobody ever thought of it again haha.

Nice to here your childhood stories of fun times.😊

Hello, I'm glad my post brought you good memories. Bingos used to be very famous in my country (decades ago), but they have been forgotten. Before they even did danceable bingos, which were like parties where there was music, food (paying entrance and plate, of course), and bingo was played (paying for the cardboard too), and people had a lot of fun. Now it is only possible to see them online or in casinos, which is also a digital version. Greetings and happy week.

Yeah, i played them all, and a lot more. i think i liked Monopoly most. i've seen a bunch of boxed games in my Mum's garage, unused for many years. i think i'll take a lot home when i go if tjere's space in the car.

Good thing you played bingo too!

I also really liked Monopoly, and we could also play several people at the same time, it's not the same as Ludo or Chess.

Those games that are in your mom's garage are sure to be great, hopefully you can take them with you and also share them with us in your posts.

Greetings and happy week!

And thank you very much for the chips, you are always very generous. A hug.
