MyTombola 3.6

The original authentic Italian Bingo, historically played in Naples and throughout Italy since 1530, is now available through this application.

This version is strictly non-gambling; players cannot win or lose money, making it suitable for family and social use without legal concerns associated with wagering.

While previously confined to offline use, this application now offers the ability to participate in online bingo sessions. Users can organize games with friends and relatives regardless of geographical distance.

To initiate an online bingo session, a minimum of 100 stars is required, while joining an existing game necessitates only 10 stars. Stars can be purchased within the app's shop or earned freely by engaging with advertising content.

The game features randomized number extraction from 1 to 90, accompanied by a talking board where Nicola Caso’s voice announces the numbers and their interpretations in Italian and Neapolitan dialects. Additionally, original artwork by Francesco Puzzella enhances the visual experience.

Users may customize their game by adding personal images or taking new photos to associate with specific numbers. Custom texts can be assigned to each of the ninety numbers, facilitating the creation of printable cards for traditional play or for splitting prize pools. The application also includes access to historical Neapolitan Grimace illustrations, which combine drawings with their respective meanings for each number.

Number extraction can be personalized through various settings:

• AUDIO: Options include enabling or disabling sound effects such as the urn shaking noise, number announcements, and textual displays in Italian, Neapolitan, or personal voice recordings.
• IMAGE: Users can select images from their library or capture new photos to associate with Grimace numbers, which will display during gameplay as numbers are drawn.
• TEXTS: Custom texts can be assigned to Grimace numbers, with choices to display these texts in Italian, Neapolitan, English, or personal messages.

Game control features include the option to extract numbers through device shaking. All customizations are stored locally on each user’s device; thus, personal preferences are maintained individually during online sessions.

When playing bingo with friends via MyTombola, the app can serve multiple purposes: as a random number generator (urn), a bingo board, customizable cards—useful if a number is missed— and tools for prize distribution. It also allows users to generate and print six random cards at once and provides a quick reference for the meanings of numbers in different languages.
