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.
