 Sweet Sixteen

 Did you know Arrow Games and Bazaar & Novelty developed different winning lines? The “Sweet Sixteen” lines were created in response to survey results, in which many players expressed displeasure for having so many winners in a single game during traditional bingo paper games. These were created to statistically decrease the number of winners that occur in a single bingo game. In order to make games more enjoyable and give some variety, these four variations were introduced:

1. Four Corners: The four corner squares
2. Inside Four Corners: The four squares diagonal to the free square (2^nd and 4^th “I” squares, 2^nd and 4^th “G” squares)
3. Inside Diamond: The other 4 squares around the free square (3^rd “I” square, the squares immediately above and below the free square in the “N” column, and the 3^rd “G” square)
4. Diamond: The 3^rd “B” square, the top and bottom “N” squares, and the 3^rd “O” square

Sweet Sixteen adds interest and variety to the standard 12-line Bingo game, and is an excellent way to increase the player satisfaction through fewer shared smaller pots and giving them more potential ways to win, generating more excitement in your bingo hall!
