Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting a bingo-style game with player interaction. Once a winning bingo pattern is pre-determined, players select bingo numbers equal to the number of spaces required to achieve the winning pattern. The system randomly assigns the player-selected bingo numbers to the spaces forming the winning pattern. The system then randomly selects and assigns bingo numbers to the spaces not forming part of the winning pattern. Upon generating each bingo card comprising the player-selected numbers and system-selected numbers, the system compares the prospective bingo card to all previously generated bingo cards to confirm no identical matches. If a match does exist, the system generates a new bingo card such that the issued bingo card does not match any previously generated bingo cards. Various levels of prizes are created and awarded based on a number of bingo ball calls needed for a first player to achieve the winning pattern.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for playing games involving numbers or symbols, including but not limited to the classic game of BINGO. More particularly, the methods and apparatus relate to games involving matrices or arrays of numbers or symbols and different techniques and/or equipment used when playing the games, which help define how the games are won.
