Abstract

Apparatus, methods, and program products for a bingo game are described for selecting a group of designations from an overall set of designations and matching the selected group of designations to designations associated with the locations on a player card (200). Each designation in the overall set of designations corresponds to a playing card in a standard playing card deck. Matching the group of designations with the player card designations (201) produces a number of matched locations on the player card (200). These matched locations are used to determine a playing card hand and a player is awarded the result of the game based on the playing card hand.
