  2. You open the room display on your projector, TV or Chromecast
  3. From your phone, you click “Draw a ball” (manual mode) or enable auto mode (5-60 sec between draws)
  4. The algorithm draws a number at random among the remaining balls
  5. The number is shown instantly on every connected display, with a visual animation
  6. The history updates automatically — viewable at any time
  7. If you make a mistake: 1-click cancel, the ball returns to the pool

Algorithm reliability and transparency

BingoShow uses crypto.randomInt() from Node.js — the same cryptographically secure function used to generate authentication tokens and cryptographic keys. Equiprobability guaranteed among all remaining balls, on every draw.

The draw history is timestamped to the millisecond and stored in a database. In case of dispute, an exportable recap PDF tracks the exact draw order and timing. Far more robust than a cage where disputes often focus on draw order or shuffling.

Frequently asked questions

Is the automatic draw really random?

Yes — BingoShow uses a cryptographically secure algorithm (pseudo-random number generator based on Node.js crypto.randomInt), guaranteeing perfect equiprobability among all remaining balls. No ball can be drawn twice (unless explicitly cancelled). Every draw is logged in a viewable history.

Can you keep a traditional cage AND use BingoShow?

Yes, it's even a popular mode. You spin your wooden or plastic cage, draw a ball, and manually enter the drawn number in BingoShow. The room display, history and card verification remain automated, but you keep the traditional atmosphere of the cage.

Is the automatic draw faster?

Yes — about 2-3× faster than a manual cage. Automatic draw: 5-15 seconds (animation + announcement). Manual draw: 20-60 seconds (shuffle, draw, read, verify). Over a full loto round, that saves 10-15 minutes to reach the full house.

Can you cancel a draw if there's a mistake?

Yes, BingoShow keeps the complete history and lets you cancel the last draw in 1 click (the ball returns to the remaining pool). Important: cancellation must be done BEFORE a player has shouted “quine” or “full house”. Log the cancellation and announce it publicly.

Which formats does the automatic draw work on?

The 4 formats supported by BingoShow: loto 90 balls (traditional French), bingo 75 (American), bingo 80 (variant), bingo express 30 balls (corporate seminars). The draw algorithm is the same — only the number pool changes.

Can the draw display automatically on the room display?

Yes, it's even the default mode. When the caller draws a number from their phone, the ball shows up instantly on every connected room display (projector, TV, Chromecast). Real-time sync via WebSocket. See our room display page.

Can you customize the draw speed?

Yes. Manual mode: the caller clicks “Draw” each time. Automatic mode: configurable interval from 5 to 60 seconds between draws. Ideal for corporate lotos or express bingos where you want to keep a smooth rhythm.

Is the draw logged as proof in case of dispute?

Yes — every draw is timestamped, logged in the database, and exportable as a recap PDF after the session. If a player disputes a result, you can prove the exact draw order and the legitimacy of the winner. Far more robust than a cage where disputes are common.
