Manual or automatic draw — which to pick?
In short
Manual for atmosphere and voice announcement, automatic for steady pace or evenings without a dedicated host. Full comparison here.
1 Side-by-side comparison
🎤 Manual
- The host clicks "Draw" each time
- Human voice announcement
- Pace adapts to the audience
- Traditional loto atmosphere
- Requires constant presence
⏱️ Automatic
- One number every 3 to 10 seconds
- Built-in voice synthesis
- Perfectly steady pace
- Host can do something else
- Less interaction with the audience
2 Manual mode in detail
The host clicks "Draw a number" each time and announces it by voice. This is the traditional mode, the village-loto vibe. Warm, theatrical, requires constant presence.
The right reflex
Say each number twice ("Forty-seven… the forty-seven!"). Senior players or those at the back will thank you.
3 Automatic mode in detail
One number every X seconds (3 to 10, adjustable on the fly). Handy for:
- Background bingo during a meal.
- An evening without a dedicated host (just an operator).
- Keeping a steady pace when the host wants to serve drinks or mingle.
4 Hybrid mode
Did you know?
You can switch between manual and auto during the game, nothing breaks. Manual for the first numbers (warm-up), auto for the next ones (pace), back to manual for the final suspense. That's the winning combo.
