Article 3: Identifying the Important Squares on the Card

Every bingo card consists of 24 numbers and the free spot in the middle. Those 24 numbers occupy 16 essential squares, the remaining numbers covering the dead squares.

The clear majority of all winning bingo combinations consist of numbers occupying essential squares. The only time the dead squares are involved with a winning bingo combination is when the bingo is made the "hard" way, 5 straight vertical numbers, or five straight horizontal numbers. All number selections for the regular and most of the special games require the use of only the essential squares. Only in jackpot games, however, you will need to consider numbers in the dead squares.
