Start your AltAways Client and log in.. if your client is not up and running, BINGO95 may fail to to detect the Worlds Window by itself even if you start the Client later…

Chance to the file BINGO95 and run Bingo95.exe by double clicking the file:

The Programm will pop up and shows a simple card

If the Size of the card is ok for you.. you are ready to play!

Resize a tiny BINGO card

Resize is done in the Preference sub menu

Select the scale factor that matches your needs most.

Playing the game

Start your AltAway Client and log in, it is important that your client is already running before you start the BINGO95.exe because the Bingo software scans for a running client to connect to via DDE-API (a Windows interface for programs to exchange data) The card will not work if this connection is not detected.. typical indication for this is no detection of a Bingo Game Host call for register.

There is a host asking to register your bingo cards? See the host name in the Host field appear? CLICK the Register Button … that will send all your activated cards to the host and you will get an ESP telling you to be registered.

The Host will announce that the time for registration will end real soon.. and he will close registration. After this happens, you can't register any longer for that round.. so keep an eye on the hosts messages.

Next the host will fire up the draw.. telling a lot of numbers..

You have to check the numbers either by yourself and click a matching on on your card my mouse or use the AUTO button that will auto fill all numberers that have been announced by the host already. AUTO does not continue to work for new numbers! So you have to click AUTO each time a new number is called.

Seeing your card fill up, check yourself against the Bingo Play pattern asked to win. There is NO autodetect for BINGO nor for JACKPOT!

So you have to click BINGO Button or JACKPOT Button by your own.. hell.. that is near to real life Bingo, isn't it?

After the first Bingo the game may go on for the JACKPOT … so keep your focus…

No luck this round? .. Don't worry… try the next game: Click the Clear button to initiate new random cards for the next game..

Now you are ready for the next registration call of your game host..

GOOD LUCK!

ref 1) to register your card software send your cardnumbers as a set to the game host, so the host knows your card… The Host will confirm your card by a ESP.. this may take a moment, if the host is busy with other players in the room.. but take care that the host gets your card! (if not.. just register again.. till register time is not closed)

ref 2) click Auto will check all Numbers already send by the host.. you have to click AUTO again if there are new numbers announced by the host!

ref 3) The clear button is used to reset your bingo card and generate a new random card. So this may be used on a new game.

ref4) BINGO and JACKPOT are the winner buttons you have to click if you meet the requested pattern for BINGO or JACKPOT. There is NO auto call in BINGO95!
