National Bingo Night is an Americangame show hosted by Ed Sanders which premiered on ABC on May 18, 2007, with a six-episode order. Sanders is known for his work on another ABC show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The show was cancelled by ABC and was repackaged as Bingo America on GSN, first hosted by Patrick Duffy, and in October 2008 by Richard Karn.

Rainbow bingo. The creator of this program, Andrew Glassman, also created the reality television game Average Joe.

The game is an interactive experience for both the studio audience and viewers at home. On NBN, members of the studio audience attempted to win a game of bingo while competing with a solo studio contestant. For Bingo America, it is played as a straight general knowledge quiz format with two players and a home viewer bingo game within.

Home viewers play along with pre-printed game cards that are available from the network website just before each episode airs, and are also eligible to win prizes.

The show was expected to return for a five-episode run during the week of December 17, 2007,[1][2] but on November 13, 2007, ABC decided to replace it instead with its new game show, Duel. In 2008, the show was cancelled and was afterward shopped to other networks. Eventually GSN acquired the rights and the game was repackaged into a five-day-a-week 30-minute version with modifications listed below.

Gameplay[edit]

National Bingo Night[edit]

Each hour-long episode of NBN was divided into three games – Red, White, and Blue. Only cards with the correct designation were eligible to win prizes. Unlike the audience members, studio contestants did not actually have a bingo card. Instead, they participated in stunt games. During these games, they took guesses on what the next ball to be drawn from an oversized bingo drum will be. Generally, this took the form of odd or even, red or black numbers (originally red or black decals on the balls), or whether the next number is higher or lower than the previous one.

96.31% MEDIUM Spreading wilds, risk game Cleopatra IGT. 95.02% MEDIUM Up to 180 free spins, multipliers Spartacus: Gladiator of Rome WMS. 95.98% LOW Up to 4.000x total bet payout Wizard of Oz WMS. 95.99% HIGH Bonus game with 9 different features Buffalo Aristocrat. 94.85% HIGH Xtra.

On at least two occasions, the stunt was to draw balls that contained a certain number, such as five 5's ('High Five'; drawing G-55 would count for two 5's) or four 9's ('Baseball')

If the contestant successfully completes the stunt before anyone in the studio audience gets a bingo, the contestant wins one of various prizes. If not, then an audience member wins $5,000 (or a prize the studio contestant failed to win on at least one occasion). In the event that the in-studio contestant completes their game and an audience member gets a bingo, only the audience member wins.

All games were winner-take-all. Non-winning contestants received nothing.

Bingo America[edit]

The format was later retooled as Bingo America and aired new episodes on GSN from March 31, 2008 to January 2, 2009. In the new format, two contestants competed on each show for a top prize of $100,000. The new version also included an at-home element in which viewers had the chance to win prizes.

I set my DVR and recorded this game show and found it to be entertaining as most game shows are. The premise is easy as the game of Bingo is known to just about everyone, so it's a very shallow learning curve -- a good strategy for any game show. Trying to explain how a game works while the contestant (and home audience) gets glassy-eyed is usually not a good move!
The TV version is a high-energy and glitzy production which uses the bingo game (and bingo balls) as means to win big prizes. The selected contestant must play the game successfully before any studio audience member gets a Bingo.
Home viewers can go the ABC.com to print out unlimited free bingo cards to play along at home for a prize of $50,000 cash. (A FAQ for printing cards is at the bottom of this article) Each printing yields three cards, a Red, White and Blue card (with three games each on them) for each episode. If you think you have won at home, log onto ABC after the show and put in the serial number on your card anytime up to the Monday following the show. That means you can record the show and play later!
1. Print out your cards before the Friday broadcast. Cards are available right after the previous Friday show.
2. Set your TiVo, DVR, or VCR to record the show on Friday 9-10 PM Eastern / 8-9 PM Central on ABC.
3. Play before Monday; if you win, claim your prize (input the serial number) before Monday at 6 PM Eastern.
To win, you need to get all the numbers in one line, all the spaces in that one line filled horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to be eligible for the grand prize drawing for that game.
Being able to play later once you have the cards in hand is a nice feature and it shows that someone over at ABC was thinking! The game however, is not really exciting, no matter how you glitz it up. Trying to accomplish your task using the Bingo ball numbers before someone else gets Bingo does not hold one's attention very well either.
The best part of the show is the referee guy, Sunil Narkar, the 'NBN Commissioner.' He is the one who declares 'No Bingo' or verifies a claimant's card. It doesn't sound like he does very much, but when he does it, it is with Style!. I love this guy! Somebody snap him up before the show disappears, as it should.
