Long A Staple Of Mexican Culture, Loteria Is Making A Fashion Statement. In the U.S., Loteria is often called Mexican Bingo. And its imagery now pops up on clothing and accessories, even if those who wear it don't know the card game.
A card is dealt from the deck, and any player that has the picture of that card on their board puts a bean on it. The pattern to win (a column or a row) is determined at the beginning of each round. Once one player makes that pattern, they shout Loteria" (hit the Loteria button on Google's version) and win the game.
It's like regular bingo but participants have to connect the dots in a delightfully vulgar pattern instead of a direct line, and prizes include a wide range of toys donated by The Pleasure Chest. But beware: Cheaters get paddled when caught.
Completing the outside edge is no easy feat as it involves daubing off sixteen numbers all around the edge of the ticket. This is a pattern exclusively for 75 ball bingo as it needs to feature a square ticket.
