Loteria Latin Bingo Game Description
Loteria Latin Bingo is be based on the Mexican Loteria game. Loteria is a form of Bingo played with images instead of numbers. The Player has a "Tablet" with 16 images on it. The "Caller" has a deck of 54 cards with different images on each card. When the Caller calls out a card the Player marks the image of said card on the tablet with a Bean.
In Loteria Latin Bingo the cards will be called out and displayed at random. The player has one minute to fill as many rows / columns as possible. When the minute is up the round is done and awards are given.
The Player can use Power Beans and Multipliers to improve their score. They can be earned by playing.
Tablets are Game boards with 16 out of 52 Loteria images randomly generated on them in
4 rows of 4.
The player may use up to 4 Tablets in a session. The player chooses how many tablets to play with before every round. Every tablet used is deleted from the players inventory after every session. If a round is started and the player quits early. The tablets used are deleted from the players inventory. Tablets can be earned by playing.
Beans are used as markers to mark an image on a tablet once it has been called. If marked incorrectly the bean will not show on the image.
Power Beans help the player mark more images quicker.
Chile Bean: Marks an open space next to the one it is placed on.
Jumping Bean: Jumps to two other unmarked spaces leaving a bean behind on each as well as the image it was originally placed on.
Lightning bean: Fills duplicate image on multiple tablets
Line Dance Bean: If the row/ column where it is placed is filled, the row / column least filled next to it fills as well
Holy Frijoles: Fills the row/column it is placed on. It is placed by swiping vertical or horizontal
Multipliers multiply the players score by factors of 2, 3, 5, and 10
The higher the multiplier the more rare it is. May be earned by playing.
