Bingoware is
a free and simple open-source PHP bingo software (script) which
facilitates the creation, viewing and printing of randomly generated
bingo cards and provides a game play mode, which draws random numbers and lists all winning cards. It is freeware and as such the source code is offered should you want to modify the software.
Bingoware is not intended for online gaming,
but rather to ease the administration of a live Bingo.
Typical use consists of generating bingo cards and then using the web based software to draw numbers and inform you of winning cards.
I once had to organize a bingo and realized that I could not photocopy Bingo cards
(everybody would win at once!), so I created Bingoware. This software
will help you create the bingo cards, draw the numbers and verify the winning
cards.
