FAQ - Bingo Balls & Bingo Supplies
1. When is it better to use drawing tokens instead of balls?
Opt for drawing tokens if:
-
You are conducting a manual "bag draw" without a bingo cage.
-
You are looking for an economical, quiet, and easy-to-transport solution.
-
You prefer a simple and traditional game atmosphere.
2. What is the advantage of a ball with the number printed on multiple sides (2, 6, or 12 sides)?
The main advantage is the immediate readability of the number, regardless of the ball's angle. This offers three key advantages for the caller:
-
Considerable time savings with each draw.
-
Reduced risk of reading errors.
-
A faster and more fluid game pace.
3. What are the specific "Air Ball" balls for, and are they compatible with my bingo cage?
"Air Ball" balls are designed exclusively for air-powered machines (blowers).
Warning: They are not compatible with a traditional mechanical bingo cage (with a crank). Their lightness and size would prevent a proper draw.
4. Why is a masterboard essential for a reliable draw? A masterboard is essential for three reasons:
-
Tracking: It provides a public and orderly display of the called numbers.
-
Reliability: It prevents caller errors and facilitates the verification of a winning card.
-
Trust: It professionalizes the game and builds a climate of trust with the players.
5. What are the advantages of wooden balls compared to plastic ones?
Wooden balls are distinguished by:
-
Authenticity: A warmer feel to the touch and a softer sound during tumbling.
-
Superior Durability: Made of hardwood, with numbers that are often engraved and do not wear off.
-
The Ecological Aspect: Wood is a natural and renewable material.
6. What size of loto ball should I choose (18mm, 22mm, 38mm)?
The size must absolutely match your equipment.
-
18 mm: For small bingo cages.
-
22 mm: The standard size for most mechanical bingo cages.
-
38 mm: The standard size for air-powered machines (automatic).
Tip: If in doubt, always check the recommended size for your equipment before any purchase.
7. How can I be sure of the quality and longevity of a bingo ball?
We select our products for their robustness, even under intensive use. Our 90 loto balls 12-sided, for example, are available with black printing on a white background and are treated with an anti-shock varnish for a longer lifespan. Each bingo ball is therefore designed to guarantee a durable investment and optimal handling comfort, the same goes for the equipment.
8. Is the readability of each number guaranteed even at a fast game pace?
Yes, this is an absolute priority. Each number must be unmissable. Our 90 flat-bottom loto balls made of reinforced plastic have a transparent capsule with a magnifying effect for perfect reading. Likewise, our 90 Loto Tokens have a raised number printed on both sides. Thus, for each type of draw, we offer the best readability for the caller to provide a perfect experience for the participants.
9. What is the importance of the color of a bingo ball?
The color of the loto balls is not just aesthetic; it is functional. The multicolored system associates a color with each set of fifteen numbers (e.g., blue for numbers 1 to 15, red for 16 to 30, etc.). This helps players find the numbers on their cards more quickly and makes the game more dynamic and visual for the entire hall.
