Bingo
A bot-run Bingo (Tombola): buy a card of numbers, then claim each one the moment it is drawn.
Group game
How to play
- A moderator opens the game with
!bingo open. The bot says how many numbers a card needs and the range. - Each player buys a card by typing
!bingofollowed by their numbers, for example!bingo 12 34 56. - A moderator says
!bingo startand the bot begins drawing numbers, one every few seconds. - When a number on your card is drawn, claim it right away by typing the claim word and the number, e.g.
bingo 71(or!bingo 71). Miss it before the next draw and that number is gone for you! - The first player (or first few, if the room allows more winners) to claim every number on their card wins. The room hands out any prizes.

Room settings (advanced - optional)
Bingo runs well out of the box, so you do not need to change anything. Owners who want to fine-tune a room can, in the panel under Edit Bot > Bingo System:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Numbers per card | 3 | How many numbers each card has (1-6). A player must get all of them drawn and claimed to win, so fewer numbers means quicker games. |
| Highest number to draw | 90 | The bot draws numbers from 1 up to this value (10-120). 90 is classic 1-90 tombola. It is the TOP of the range, not the lowest - draws always start at 1. |
| Seconds between draws | 12 | How long players have to claim each number before the next one is drawn (5-60). Lower is faster and harder; higher is more relaxed. |
| Claim word | bingo | The word a player types with the number to claim it, e.g. "bingo 71". |
| Max winners | 1 | How many players can finish their card before the game ends (1-10). |
| Allow duplicate cards | On | Whether two players are allowed to hold the exact same set of numbers. |
| Max cards per user | 1 | How many cards one player may buy (currently fixed at 1). |
