The essence of the game
First you need to consider what is included in the standard game set. Usually it includes:
- kegs, on which numbers from 1 to 90 are indicated;
- a bag of dense fabric for storage;
- cards with 3 lines, 9 cells in them, 5 of which are occupied by numbers.
Also, the set includes special chips for closing numbers on cards, but instead of them buttons, coins will suit.
Now we need to figure out how to play the Russian lotto at home, what are the rules of the game. To begin with, you need to decide on the lead, which is to pull from the sack of the keg and call the fallen numbers. Also it is necessary to distribute to all participants of the card. Rules of playing lotto at home can differ in every family, company. Some believe that the presenter can not participate in the game. Others allow a variant of his participation on an equal basis with all.
The leader must pull the kegs blind, and all players carefully look at their cards and close the matched numbers. This continues until someone wins, but it depends on the kind of game participants prefer.
Lotto games options
This entertainment does not get bored for a long time, if each time to introduce variety into the process. There are several possible options for the game, which are interesting to see:
- A simple lotto. Each participant receives 3 cards, but the game is played until one of them is closed. When someone completely fills one of the lines, he should loudly say "flat".
- Short lotto. Here it is assumed that each player will receive one card. The rules of the game in the home bingo in this version require the closure of just one line. It is worth noting that in this case, participation of a large number of people is possible.
There is another option for lotto when each participant determines the number of cards he needs. The more cards, the more likely to win, while keeping track of the numbers on all cards is not so easy. In addition, if the game is played for money, then each card is worth its contribution.
Each number on the keg can be given its own name, so it becomes much more fun to play. It is often possible to hear that the number "13" is called "The Devil's Dozen" and so on.
For preschoolers, there are childish interpretations of the game. Back in the 50s of the last century, a lotto was developed in Germany, which helped children learn the multiplication table. Since then, this game has become an entertainment not only for adults, but for children. Usually in this lotto instead of numbers there are bright pictures. They can be depicted various fruits, animals, transport, as well as options with alphabet, geometric figures, figures. The rules of the table lotto for little ones differ little from the adult version. The presenter takes out a picture from the bag and names what is depicted on it. The guys are looking for the right drawing on their cards. Entertainment helps to broaden the horizon and develop memory, and also fosters assiduity in small fidgets.
