When playing bingo, you will often hear phrases after each number called. An experienced player who may have played in bingo halls or clubs will be used to it but many new online users may wonder what this is all about.

The phrases allow players to precisely distinguish a number from another to avoid any confusion. Within a bingo club environment, the noise level can sometimes affect the clarity of hearing and this method allowed drawn numbers to be audible by the entire audience.
