Lotto (Лото) (Russian Bingo)

“Russian Lotto” is an exciting game, similar to “Bingo”, which is designed to entertain a large crowd of friends with its dynamic game play. This unbelievably popular, traditionally Russian game, was developed centuries ago, but still retains its place as one of the most played board games among friends and family.

Starting the Game

Before the game can begin, the host is chosen from among the players. The host is given a bag with small, numbered, barrel-shaped pieces of wood or plastic, called “kegs.” Depending on the players’ preferences, the host may, or may not be allowed to play Lotto, while drawing and presenting the numbers from the bag. Every player then randomly selects a game card(s). In “Regular” and “Short” Lotto, every player has an equal number of game cards. In “Three-On-Three,” each game card is purchased, so that greater number of cards increases the odds of winning, but also increases the total bet of a player.

Game Play

The host thoroughly shuffles the “kegs” and begins to draw them from the bag one by one, calling out the number, written on each. As each number is called, the players check their game cards and mark off, or close, the matched numbers on their cards. This process continues until one of the players completes the whole card, winning the round.
