(Probability Game)

Top of the Shop® is a bingo game published by Trimark®. The game brings the traditional, 90-ball bingo caller phrases to life as images on a deck of 90 playing cards. These numbered cards are used in place of the ball drawing. As each card is drawn its phrase and card number are called out. For example, "two fat ladies - 88, snakes alive - 55...".

Object of the game

edit

The object of the game is to complete patterns by matching the numbers on the player's tickets with numbers drawn from the deck of 90 playing cards.

Ticket Strips

edit

Top of the Shop® tickets are sold in strips of 6. This allows every number from 1 to 90 to appear somewhere on the strip so that every card drawn results in a number being daubed.[1] A strip of 6 Top of the Shop® bingo tickets is shown to the right.

Each ticket contains 27 spaces arranged in a 3 row by 9 column layout. Each row contains 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces. Each column contains up to three numbers as follows:

  • The first column may only contain numbers from 1 to 10,
  • The second column may only contain numbers from 11 to 20,
  • and so on, until the last column which may only contain numbers 81 to 90.

Patterns

edit

The game's winning patterns are: 1 Line, 2 Lines, and Full House (3 Lines).[2]
