How it works
This bingo spin wheel holds the 75 balls of American bingo, B 1 to O 75. It shows 24 at a time, and every spin picks from all the balls still in play. A called ball leaves the wheel.

Call a game in four steps
1. Hand out cards from any 75-ball set. This page prints none. 2. Spin, then read the result aloud, letter first: G 52. 3. Spin again for each call. When a player shouts bingo, check the marked line against the numbered results under the wheel. 4. For a new game, open More options and press Clear results. Every ball goes back on.
Which numbers sit under each letter
B covers 1 to 15, I 16 to 30, N 31 to 45, G 46 to 60 and O 61 to 75. The letter tells players which column to search, so nobody scans the whole card.
Tips
- The results list keeps the newest 50 calls. To cover a whole card, write the first calls down too.
- The Show only menu narrows the wheel to one letter. Leave it on all 75 for a normal game.
Questions and answers
How do you play spin the wheel bingo?
One person is the caller and spins once per call. Players mark the called number if it is on their card. The first to mark five in a line, across, down or corner to corner, shouts bingo.
What is the free space on a bingo card?
It is the center square, in the middle of the N column. It counts as marked from the start, so a card carries 24 numbers and a line through the center needs four calls.
What bingo patterns can we play besides a line?
Two common ones are four corners and blackout. Four corners needs only the corner squares of the card. Blackout means covering all 24 numbers, so it takes many more calls than a line game.
