The first format used an apparatus resembling a giant bingo calling machine. A cylindrical cage hanging from the ceiling was lowered onto a chute. Inside the cage were 200 plastic balls that each had a letter printed on them. For each rotation the cage made, one of the balls was drawn and dropped into the chute. Giant Bingo is packed full of ginormous jackpots and colossal wins - along with fantastic roomies and loads of friendly chat.

This tutorial explains how to play a bingo game with our virtual bingo caller. It was designed to facilitate the organization of a bingo game, to reduce the necessary equipment and to easily validate the winning cards. You can play with virtual cards, and/or printed cards. The virtual bingo caller is linked to the bingo cards of a game, and thus allows to track when a card is a winner in the “Winners list”.
You can have one active caller at a time. The caller will be activated for 3 hours, and you can play as many games as you want by clicking “Restart the game”. If you want players to have multiple cards, you’ll need to distribute printed cards. Players can have only one virtual card per web browser. When you restart the game, the caller and the players cards will be reset, and they keep playing with the same cards.
At this stage, you should already have created new game, and you can see it on the main page in your Games List. Go in the line of your game and click the “Play” icon.

Let’s take a look at the game settings.

Giant Bingo Cages
Game Type
If you have a simulation with your project, you can select “Simulation” and the caller will make the draws in the same order previously selected in your simulation. When the selection is at “Bingo Caller”, the caller works as a regular bingo caller.
Bingo Caller: The bingo caller will draw the values randomly during the game as a standard bingo caller used in bingo halls (cage with balls). To print the bingo cards for the game, choose a card template, click “View” and print out the number of cards required. If you plan to play multiple games, print the same cards several times.
Simulation: This option is only available if you have done a simulation for this game. The bingo caller will draw the values like a standard bingo caller, but it will follow the predefined order to reproduce the results. The winning combinations will respect those defined during the simulation and will be displayed in the lists as the game progresses. Select from the versions the simulation you wish to play during the game. If you restart a new game, the bingo caller will replay the same simulation.
Display “Current/Previous draws” on virtual cards
This option can hide the current and previous draw fields at the top and bottom of the virtual card.
Winning patterns to get a bingo
Choose from 64 patterns how players will get winning lines during the game. The boxes are all checked by default. The results will be displayed simultaneously during the game in the winners list. Winning Line (s) is a vertical and horizontal 5 consecutive squares, Winning diagonal (s) is and / (don’t click those ones if you just want the X) 4 corners is quite easy to get because it consider only B and O column, and it’s a requirement in order to get the X. Just select the pattern you want for the game. You can modify the winning patterns every time you restart the game.

Description of the virtual bingo caller interface
We tried to simplify the bingo caller in order to make sure anybody can use it. The bingo caller was designed in order to make the random draws, and manage all the other aspects of the game. The host can follow the game on his side using the different lists, and easily validate the winning cards. You can display the flashboard to players on an external screen like the giant board in the professional bingo halls.
Game Information
Players can join your game at this link with your game name and password. You can see in real time how many players are in your game, so you can start the draws when most players have joined. The caller will remain active for 3 hours, and you can play as many games as you want.
Manual and automatic draw
To start the game, manually click on “Make Draw“. To use the automatic draw, select the number of seconds between draws and click “Enable”. To disable the function, click “Disable“. When the option “Stop the draw when a card is winning” is set to “Yes“, the bingo caller will be deactivated when there is at least one winning card. If the option is set to “No“, the bingo caller will continue without taking into account to the winners. Draws will stop when all bingo values are drawn or when all the values of a simulation are drawn.

When a player has the possibility of having a bingo in his virtual card, the card number and pattern will appear in the winners list (not crossed out). Once the player clicks all the squares and get the winning pattern, a pop-up message will appear on the screen “Bingo”. At that moment, the card will be crossed out in the winners list to indicate that it has been validated.

Tick Tock Clock is the fourteenth course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. To access the course, the player needs to open the Big Star Door on the third floor of the Mushroom Castle with 50 Power Stars. The entrance to Tick Tock Clock is the face of the large grandfather clock. Based on when the player jumps into the clock (rounded to the nearest quarter hour), the speeds of the internal clockworks change: Entering when the minute hand is nearest '12' will make everything stop, entering near '3' will make everything move slowly, entering near '6' will make everything move randomly and change speeds frequently, and entering near '9' will make everything move quickly. If time is not still, several platforms will turn, move, or flip; conveyor belts will move; and pendulums and the large hands will swing. Tick Tock Clock appears to be changed more than any other level in the DS remake, with many areas altered for easier difficulty, removing elements such as the triangular blocks and fog effects, and re-positioning several areas of the level. It is one of two courses with both a Switch Star and Silver Stars, the other being Shifting Sand Land. Tick Tock Clock is referenced to in various other games. It receives a racetrack in Mario Kart DS, which returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Mario Party 3 minigame Tick Tock Hop takes place on the clock's painting from Super Mario 64. In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in Minecraft, there is a painting of the entrance to Tick Tock Clock. Luigi's Top Gear Sentry weapon in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle references Tick Tock Clock, as the description mentions that the gear wheels on the weapon were taken from an old clock tower at Peach's Castle. Layout[edit]Tick Tock Clock entrance The player starts at the base of the clock's mechanics. In the DS version, there is additional ground around the base of the clock, and Bob-ombs will fall and attack the player in this area. To the left of the starting area are several green ascending platforms that spin if time is not still, along with a Spinning Heart below them; these green platforms lead up to the area with the first rotating hand and is where all of the Red Coins are placed. In front of the player's starting position is a large pendulum followed by a conveyor belt and a rotating block. Afterward is another pendulum followed by a ramp leading to three rotating blocks, followed by the platform that the earlier green platforms lead to; it has a large clock hand swinging around nearby that will bring the player to a Power Star. This platform has a ! Block with Coins, and a Keronpa Ball nearby. After the hand are a number of spinning platforms leading to a caged Power Star, followed by a small lift above then a pole with an Amp circling it. After the player climbs up the pole, the path will split: To the left is a Heave-Ho and an area with a spinning triangle platform and two pendulums, leading to the second Power Star. To the right of the pole are lifts leading further up the clock. Above the lifts are rotating blocks leading upward, with a mesh floor with Moving Bars behind them. Up the rotating blocks is a bending platform with Moving Bars placed under a cage that contains a ! Block full of coins. Afterward, a couple of conveyor belts lead to a long bending platform with several spinning platforms and blocks breaking it up and a large platform in the middle. At the top of the platform is another clock hand that can bring the player to an area with a Thwomp, which can carry the player to a Power Star. Missions[edit]
