How to play Zingo Bingo?

1. One player could be the dealer of the game and could operate the zinger, or each of the players could operate the Zinger each turn thus giving everyone a chance to manage the device during the game. It would be better for an adult or older kid to be the dealer.
2. The assigned dealer needs to slide the Zinger forward and back to reveal two tiles at a time only.
3. When a player sees that a tile matches an image on his or her Zingo card, then the player must call out the image name, takes the tile, and proceed to cover the printed image on his or her card.
4. The dealer puts all the unclaimed tiles back into the Zinger through the reload area on the top of the device.
5. If ever two or more players need the same tile, it would automatically go to the player who calls for its name first. Just in case both called for it at the same time, the Dealer would then put back the tile in the Zinger.
6. If a player mistakenly calls for a tile he or she doesn't need, then the tile goes to the next player who correctly calls out on it.
7. The first player to be able to cover all 9 spaces on his or her card must shout ZINGO and wins!
8. The winner then starts the next game as the Dealer.
