Matrix bingo

Abstract

A method for playing bingo like games utilizing a small sequence of essentially random play numbers applied to a matrix to generate a relatively large quantity of call numbers to cover patterns on one or more game cards.

1 . A method of generating call numbers comprising:
 a) selecting or assigning a relatively small set of play indicia,   b) applying said play indicia to columns and rows of at least one matrix to locate a quantity of call indicia,   c) applying said call indicia to locations in a game.   
   
   
       2 . The method in  claim 1  wherein said play indicia are the digits 0-9. 
   
   
       3 . The method in  claim 1  wherein said play indicia are in whole or in part randomly selected or assigned. 
   
   
       4 . The method in  claim 1  wherein said matrix is distributed to a plurality of players. 
   
   
       5 . The method in  claim 1  wherein said locations in a game appear on one or more identical game cards distributed to a plurality of players. 
   
   
       6 . A bingo or bingo like game employing at least one matrix to generate a relatively large quantity of call indicia from a relatively small set of play indicia. 
   
   
       7 . The game in  claim 6  wherein said play indicia are the digits 0-9. 
   
   
       8 . The game in  claim 6  wherein said play indicia are in whole or in part randomly assigned.
