How to Play Loteria Luna

Looking for how to play Lotería or new bingo pattern ideas?

Lotería Luna uses a 4x4 game board and can be played in many different ways — just like traditional bingo. Instead of playing the same pattern every round, you can rotate winning patterns to keep the game exciting and competitive.

Below are the official and creative ways to play using a standard 4x4 Lotería Luna board.

Basic Rules of Lotería Luna

  1. Each player receives one 4x4 game board.
  2. The caller randomly draws and announces cards.
  3. Players mark matching images on their board.
  4. The first player to complete the announced winning pattern calls out “¡Lotería!” or "BINGO" and wins the round.
  5. Verify the board before awarding the win.

Before each round begins, announce the winning pattern so everyone knows what they’re playing for.
