Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and programs for conducting a game of bingo, comprising an enrollment process in which at least one player enrolls to join a team of players to participate in the bingo game. Virtual players may be generated to join the team of players. Bingo indicia are drawn and compared to the players' (participating or virtual) bingo cards and an ending process is triggered when an ending pattern is formed on a bingo card.
