What is the Mexican bingo called?

Mexican Bingo Game


Bingo games that are famous throughout the world turned out to have different names in certain countries. Let's take an example from Mexico. This country has a unique name on bingo, Loteria. The word Loteria is a Mexican word that means lottery. What makes it interesting about this Loteria game is that although it is a bingo game, the card used is very unique and different from the bingo cards that we know.


Are Loteria cards Tarot cards?


Loteria cards are cards that consist of pictures and also numbers. But the numbers are often not used as in the commonly known bingo cards. Loteria cards are more focused on the pictures that are on the card. Loteria cards consist of interesting pictures. Because the beginning of the maker of Loteria cards was an artist and this game was once a game played by people who are respected. Some images on Loteria cards have similarities to tarot cards such as sun, moon, star, angel, and devil. But Loteria cards cannot be used as tarot cards because of a few cards, right? Tarot cards have more detail than Loteria, even though they have several of the same card names.


How do you make a Mexican bingo card?


To be able to make interesting Mexican bingo cards, you need to know what images are on each card. The number of cards that Mexican bingo cards have is 54 cards. So you have to complete all 54 images. You can make it by searching for templates or printables from Mexican bingo cards provided on the internet. Usually, the template and the printable all the cards have become one package, so you do not need to search for images on the card one by one. After that, you just need to print and cut it to the size of the Mexican bingo cards.

How many people can play Loteria at once?


As with every game, there are a number of players who are concerned when playing it. If it consists of too many players, it will be difficult to solve it. And if it consists of too few players, the game becomes unpleasant. Loteria, also known as Mexican bingo cards also has a limit on the number of players. In one game, Loteria can be played by a maximum of 10 people. If you and your friends consist of more than 10 players, you can take turns playing each other by playing more than one round. Sounds fair, right.

Back in 1996 i was learning computer programing, it was interesting to me because I had a little background in electronics. So to practice what I have learned, I was looking for an idea to put that basic knowledge to work.
I came across a Mexican Loteria game that made me remember how we used to play Loteria in the Mexican street festivals and fairs with my Grandmother Martha when I was little. I'll come back to share more memories of my beautiful Grandmother later.
When the operating system Windows 95 was released it came with some music videos, who would not remember that song Good Times by Edie Brickell.
Then for windows 95 Microsoft released a Game SDK with a library called DirectPlay witch supposed to connect gamers in a network so the days of playing alone were going to be gone some day. I used DirectPlay to create the first Loteria Mexicana Game for internet, check the picture above and see how the program looked after I finished. The program had 7 buttons, All with Spanish labels like Terminar (Exit), Conectar(Connect), Unirse(Joint), Jugar(Play). The other 3 buttons where used to select the playing board in Spanish called Tabla. It had a panel to display all the current gamers, a message panel and a message input.

To play the user first would look for a group to play pressing the Connect button, then will hit the Joint button, choose a playing board and the group has to agree to who was going to be the Loteria Caller. To synchronize all player only one person could be the caller while they were playing so by pressing the play button that person would become the caller and all the other players would get the called card on the center of the window while they chat and click on the playing board if the called card matches a card in the playing board. When anyone got all its playing board cards marked the program would display a message to all players saying who was the winner. Buenas LOTERIA!!!!...

I exchange messages with people to test the program and everything looked good so I released it free of charge on a website to promote the Loteria Mexicana game that I had good memories playing with my grandmother.
Here is a screenshot of one of the first website that made for the Loteria, this probably was the third one I made for it:

By year 2000 everybody was learning Java to create games and interactive content for the web so I gave it a try to learn a bit of it and I made a Loteria Java Applet. It was placed in this website witch still exist:


Then I continued to developed other software like Loteria Workshop but what amaze me is that how many Loteria online Games exist today, all flavors and styles for many devices. There are some that have good graphics designs. Besides the Loteria online apps there has been an increased number in the creation of Loteria Playing Boards some made by well recognized artist, so the next time someone says - Plant a tree, have a child, write a book and make a loteria for that child - it's true. Long Live La Loteria!!!.

I will continue and expand this story when I have time.
