Lotto game with wooden barrels. Special Lotto Language

LOTTO is a game of chance, very close to the lottery. Winning in Lotto, provided that experienced players play, is almost entirely determined by luck. You can reduce the dependence on luck by increasing the number of cards one participant has, and then theoretically the possibility of an error due to inattention increases. But experienced players claim that this only works with beginners.

Lotto first appeared in Genoa in the 16th century, the word Lotto itself, translated from Italian, means “fate” (everyone who watched the cartoon “Dobrynya Nikitich and the Serpent Gorynych” may be surprised by this circumstance, but this is so - in the 10th century in Kievan Rus in this could not play the game).

Soon, LOTTO became widespread throughout Italy, and already in 1521 the first ban came out - the Senate of the Venetian Republic banned this game as gambling. But the game quickly gained popularity in France. Until now, the custom of indulging in Le Lotto with passion on Saturdays is part of the French way of life.

Nevertheless, in the Soviet Union, LOTTO was considered not a game of chance, but an educational game along with chess and checkers. In some ways, the Soviet officials, no doubt, were right, Lotto develops attention and memory, but then why, for example, cards were not welcomed, because many card games develop these qualities to a much greater extent.

Now everything has fallen into place: Lotto, of course, is primarily a game of chance. An attempt to build a business on the organization of such games, for example, to open a Lotto hall following the example of American bingo halls, will most likely end up in problems with law enforcement agencies. But this does not mean that we cannot gather with friends for a fun pastime with our favorite game.

To play you need:

1. Barrels with numbers on the end faces - 90 pieces.

2. A bag for kegs, always made of opaque material.

3. Cards with three rows of numbers - 24 pieces.

4. Tokens or chips designed to cover the numbers on the cards, their number can be in the range from 150 to 200 pieces.

The game can be played for interest, or it can have a bank. There are three main game options:

1. Simple LOTTO - the winner is the one who first closes all the numbers on one of his cards. He takes over the bank. Usually, when playing a simple LOTO, each player receives three cards.

2. Short LOTTO - the winner is the one who first closes all the numbers in any one line. Usually, when playing short LOTO, each player receives one card.

3. LOTO three by three. Here you also need to close the numbers in one line, but the result will depend on the location of this line:

- when one of the players fills in any top line, the rest double their bets to the bank;

- when one of the players fills any middle line, he takes half of the bank;

- when one of the players fills in any bottom line, he is declared the winner and takes the entire bank.

In a three-on-three game, it is possible to create unequal conditions between players who have made an unequal contribution to the pot. Any player can double or even triple his contribution and receive not one, but two or three cards, respectively. This is possible because it is considered that "the card plays" and each card has equal rights and obligations, regardless of how many cards the player has.

At the beginning of the game, a leader is chosen, he can receive cards and participate in the game on an equal basis with others, or he may not receive them, this is determined by an agreement between the players.

The presenter blindly takes out one barrel from the bag, after which he announces its number. There is a special terminology for declaring numbers in LOTTO:

1 - count
3 - three
10 - bull's eye
11 - drum sticks
12 - dozen
13 - damn dozen
18 - for the first time
22 - ducklings
25 - again 25
44 - chairs
50 - half a hundred
55 - gloves
66 - felt boots
69 - back and forth
77 - hatchets
88 - grandmother
89 - grandfather's neighbor
90 - grandfather

The player, whose number on the card coincided with the number named by the leader, closes this number with a special token or chip.

When playing a simple LOTO, a player on whose card one row is completely closed is obliged to notify other players about this by saying “apartment”.

The winner is determined depending on the variant of the game.

In America, this popular game has received a different name. Initially, instead of chips, dried beans were used there (in English - bean), laying a winning bean on the card, the player exclaimed: "Bingo", which is why the Lotto game itself in America began to be called Bingo.

Currently, in the US, there are ten players in Bingo halls per casino player, now it is already a whole subculture with its own customs, etiquette, and language. Here are just the most common terms:

Front of House - The table closest to the entrance.

Early Bird is a warm-up game before the main Bingo game.

Eyes Down (look down) - means that the game begins and the croupier will now begin to call the numbers.

Flyer - A Bingo ticket that can be used for one game.

Market Bingo (Market Bingo) - means a game in which the prize is provided in non-monetary form. In Basket Bingo, the prize is a basket filled with prize items.

TV game "Russian Lotto"

A huge number of lotteries have been created on the basis of LOTTO, at present the most popular of them in our country is the All-Russian State Drawing Lottery VGTL 1 Pobeda Russian Lotto, the drawings of which are held every Sunday at 8.15 on NTV channel.

To participate in the lottery, as in the usual LOTTO, you will need cards with numbers. But, unlike the classic game, you don’t have to cover the numbers on the cards with chips or beans, you don’t even need to cross out anything, as the game organizers recommend. This is a regular lottery ticket and does not need your help to win or lose.

At retail outlets, you can purchase a colorful ticket equipped with the required security levels, such a ticket indicates the number of the draw and the date of the draw, the same ticket will be the basis for receiving the prize.

If the draw number and date are not indicated on the ticket, the seller is obliged to issue you a receipt printed by the terminal, on which this information is present, in which case it is the receipt that will be the basis for receiving the winnings. You will be asked for a phone number (you don't have to give it), which will also be printed on the receipt. In this case, by phone number you can register on the website stoloto.ru and you will find a virtual copy of your ticket there, in addition, if you win, you will receive an SMS.

In addition to buying at retail points of sale, there are many ways to take part in the game, a bet can be made on the stoloto.ru website, via SMS, in Euroset and Alt-Telecom communication stores, in BaltBet-Loto lottery stores. In all these cases, it is mandatory to indicate the phone number, since its use is necessary for security, after all, we are talking about money. An SMS with a secret code will be sent to the number you specified, which, together with the receipt number and mobile phone number, will be the basis for receiving the winnings.

There are many ways on the stoloto.ru website to simplify the choice of tickets for the player, each ticket manually, at once and in many, with favorite numbers, with different numbers, etc. I will not dwell on their description, because this has nothing to do with the rules of the game.

It should be remembered that bets on the next draw are accepted until 12:00 Saturday (Moscow time).

Now the rules of the game. The draw is divided into rounds, in addition, the Jackpot is played.

In the first round, tickets are won, in which the numbers in any horizontal line are closed before everyone else, it does not matter if it happened in the upper or lower table.

In the second round, tickets are won, in which all 15 numbers in the upper or lower table are closed before everyone else. In the third and subsequent rounds, tickets are won in which all 30 numbers on the card are closed.

The jackpot wins a ticket on which 15 numbers are closed after the first 15 barrels played. The jackpot does not necessarily go to one of the participants in the draw, if this does not happen, it will accumulate until someone wins it.

In general, the rules are not complicated, the organizers tried to ensure that those wishing to take part in the lottery had no problems with buying a ticket, they would have money, and they would definitely accept your bet in the wrong way, the great popularity of the lottery leads to the formation of a large prize fund. These are pluses.

But the classic game of LOTTO with friends also has its advantages. Firstly, such a game does not have an organizer, which means that 100% of bets go to the bank, and not 50%, as in the lottery. Secondly, seeing your opponents, watching their reaction is much more interesting than playing while sitting on the couch in front of a TV or in front of a computer monitor against thousands of strangers.

The kegs are loaded into the bag, numbered from 1 to 90. The host takes out the kegs one by one and calls their numbers. Participants find and mark these numbers on their tickets. The order in which the numbers are drawn is important. Win those tickets in which they close before the others: 5 numbers in any horizontal line, or all 15 numbers of the top or bottom card of the ticket, or all the numbers in both cards. If on the 15th move 15 numbers out of 30 on your ticket matched, then you won.

1st round - close 5 numbers in one line

In the first round, tickets are won, in which 5 numbers in any of the six horizontal lines coincided with the numbers of the barrels taken out of the bag before the others.

2nd round - close 15 numbers in any of the cards

In the second round, tickets are won in which all 15 numbers in any of the fields coincided earlier than others with the numbers of the kegs taken from the bag. If in the first 15 moves you closed 15 numbers out of 30 in the two playing fields of the ticket, open the champagne immediately! You have won the Jackpot.

3rd and subsequent rounds - cover all numbers on the ticket

In the third and subsequent rounds, tickets are won, in which all 30 numbers matched the numbers of the barrels taken out of the bag earlier than others.

Attention Jackpot! It accumulates from circulation to circulation and in some draws reaches tens of millions of rubles. Tickets are won in which, on the fifteenth move, fifteen numbers out of 30 on the ticket coincide with the numbers of the extracted kegs.

Do not rush to throw away the ticket if you have not won in any of the rounds. First, check the ticket again on the website. Secondly, in some draws, the biggest prizes can be won using your ticket number. The winner in this case is determined after the main draw is completed.

What can be won?

The winnings of the first few rounds are usually the largest and can range from several tens and hundreds of thousands to several million rubles. In addition to cash prizes, the organizers of the lottery often raffle clothing prizes (cars, apartments, country houses, baths, vouchers to warm seas, and much more). You can choose in what form to receive such a prize - clothing or cash.

Many lottery kiosks do not require a mobile phone number, and the ticket consists of two parts: a colored ticket without a specific draw number and a black and white receipt with the date and draw number, as well as all those numbers that are on the color card.

Taxation of winnings

Not so long ago, when TVs were far from being in every home, and the Internet had not yet been heard, each family had a bag with chips and cards on which numbers were written. Every member of the family, down to a small child, knew the rules of the lotto game. Thanks to this fun, the whole family gathered at a common table, communicating during the game. Maybe that's why family ties were so much stronger in those days?

Game history

The game of lotto came to us from Italy, where it appeared in the distant 16th century. In translation, lotto means "lottery". This game quickly became popular, but was soon banned in its homeland. But she continued her procession around the world, where she gained considerable popularity and variations.

In our country, loto took root in the 18th century, but in those days this game enjoyed special respect only among aristocrats. At any time of the year in the salons one could find a company that joyfully shouted out the numbers of the barrels and congratulated the winners.

Already at the beginning of the 20th century, the rules of the lotto game were well known to all segments of the population, and a linen bag with kegs and cardboard cards was probably in every family. Such a set was honorable, standing on a par with checkers, chess and dominoes. This game was one of the popular souvenirs.

The essence of the game

First you need to find out what the loto set consists of. Everything is simple here - it includes 90 kegs with numbers from 1 to 90, cards, of which there are usually 24 pieces, a linen, necessarily opaque bag (so that the presenter cannot see the number of the keg and "hack"). In addition, the set includes a storage box and the lotto rules themselves. There may also be special "closers" that are used to close the same numbers. Older sets did not contain such chips, and similar numbers were closed with buttons.

In order to win the lotto, you must be the first of all players to close the line or card with barrels with the corresponding numbers. At the same time, the rules for playing lotto at home could differ slightly from those generally accepted. Indeed, each family could have its own traditions or preferences, which brought variety to this fun. The main thing is not to lose the essence - the winner was the one who was lucky. This was, and still is, the main interest of the game.

Varieties of lotto

The rules of the game in Russian loto imply several varieties of this fun.

Simple Lotto: the game is played on three cards, but the winner is the participant who first closes all the numbers on one of them. When one of the players closes one line, he loudly announces this by saying the word "apartment". Thus, he warns the rest of the players about the step to achieve victory.

Lotto short: a shortened version of the simple lotto. Players receive one playing card each, but they only need to close one line to win. This game can be called fast, it is also designed for a large number of players (maximum 24).

Lotto "three by three"": it is considered the most gambling version of the lotto game. It can be played both for material values ​​and for a variety of items. So, closing the first, top line, the rest of the players double the stake. Closing the middle line, the winner has the right to take a third of the stake for himself. Whoever finishes the bottom number line first wins all the winnings, and the stake is determined by the items or money given to buy back the playing card.

A separate type of this game is children's loto. Instead of numbers, it uses various thematic pictures - fruits, vegetables, clothes, furniture, transport, or other, a wide variety of items. The purpose of such a lotto is to develop a child's attention, memory, ingenuity, as well as to consolidate knowledge about the main subjects surrounding him.

Russian lotto rules

This game does not require specific knowledge. And the rules are extremely simple and understandable to everyone. The host takes turns taking out barrels with numbers from the bag, calling them out loud. Whoever has this number on the card closes it. If another player also has the same number, additional chips are used - "closers" (or buttons). The winner is the one who first closes all the numbers in one line or on the entire card (depending on the rules).

At home, in the family circle, the rules of the table lotto game can be modified. For example, to win, you need to close the card completely, instead of one line, or all three game cards completely. It doesn't matter what the rules will be in your family, the main thing is that this game brings fun, communication and allows you to spend time together.

At the same time, each family comes up with its own, original names for the numbers. This gives the game variety, makes it fun and interesting for all ages.

Conventions for some numbers

The incredible popularity of this hobby has given rise to a variety of lotto rules. At home, everyone, of course, has their own conventions for all or some of the numbers that are used in the game. Therefore, we present here only the most famous of them.

"all alone", "count", "lord"

"swan", "couple"

"let's figure it out for three"

"chair", "on four sides"

"axe", "poker"

"matryoshka"

"drumsticks"

"Baker's dozen"

"swan in the lake"

"ducks"

"curly"

"anniversary"

"retiree"

"lady's feet"

The examples given in the table are the most popular titles that are recorded in the official game. They are built on comparisons, folk sayings, important dates. The rest are historically named that way, although, unfortunately, there are no sources why these numbers are called that way.

Children's Lotto Rules

Lotto for young children (mainly preschoolers) is not only their first board game, but also an opportunity to get acquainted with the world around them, consolidate knowledge and broaden their horizons.

Bright pictures will certainly attract the attention of kids, showing their interest and curiosity. The rules for playing loto for kids are simple and similar to adults. The facilitator takes out a card with an image and names what is drawn or written there. Children look for this item on their card. Thus, there is a process of memorization and acquaintance with various categories and objects.

Thanks to the children's loto, you can learn the alphabet, the world of animals and nature, and even a foreign language (for those who are older). This game develops well, enriches the child's vocabulary and sociability.

Conclusion

In many countries, lotto is still popular, taking you into the fascinating world of fun and excitement.

Barrel Lotto is an interesting, exciting and exciting board game. Lotto helps to relax, mentally relax, have a great time with loved ones and relatives.

Today in Russia there is no person who at least once in his life did not participate in such a game. Residents of the Russian Federation prefer to play it at home in a circle of good company, because it brings together and amuses.

Not everyone knows, but lotto received the status of a gambling game a very long time ago due to the fact that people began to bet money.

In 1521, the government of the Italian Republic forbade Italians from playing loto because of the depravity of their moral character.

But the ban did not stop the Europeans. After 100 years, entertainment appeared in France. On the territory of Russia, this way of spending time became known even during the existence of the Russian Empire.

But then the lotto was not in demand. The wave of popularity of this entertainment falls on the times of the existence of the Soviet Union. In the USSR, loto was considered a game that develops the mind, memory and attention.

Today, almost no one plays the lotto “for nothing” (without money). This is a game of chance that is played at home without fear for your own wallet or the loss of a large amount of money, because usually money plays only a symbolic role in such entertainment.

Although the loto is called Russian, its birthplace is the Italian city of Genoa. In the vastness of Italy, it appeared in the 16th century and immediately gained incredible popularity among passionate and reckless Italians.

The name comes from the Italian language. In translation, it means "fate", although this name does not beat the very essence of the game.

Note! Lotto is a game with cards, chips and kegs.

The rules of the lotto game are simple. They are easy to remember and learn. But initially, in order to learn how to play Russian loto correctly, you should find out what devices and attributes the players will have to face in the process.

Table: lotto paraphernalia

Game inventory Description
Kegs The barrels are made from wood. At the end of each of them is a number from 1 to 90.
Cards Traditionally, medium-sized rectangular cardboard cards are used. Each card is divided into three vertical columns of nine cells.

Each column contains five numbers in a chaotic order from 1 to 90. The rest of the cells are empty.

Chips They are:
  • Plastic.
  • Cardboard.

The chips are intended to close the cells with the numbers depicted on them.

Bag The main rule of real Russian lotto is a bag that does not shine through. It is necessary for storing kegs. During the game it serves as a "hand drum".

There are three types of playing Russian loto:

"Simple". Rules:

  • Initially, all participants in such entertainment choose cards of their choice and lay them out in front of them. Taking more than one card is prohibited.
  • All players choose a leader who will pull kegs out of the bag.
  • After that, all the barrels are poured into a bag, thoroughly mixed.
  • The host begins to pull out the kegs and announce the numbers indicated on them. Players are required to close those numbers on their cards that were announced by the leader.
  • If a player closes one of the columns (lines) with chips, he informs other players of the word-combination "apartment".

    This combination means that now the leader has the right to pull out only one wooden barrel at a time. If the player closes all the cells with numbers on the cardboard field, the game is over.

"A short". Rules:

  • Participants choose cards with playing fields.
  • A leader is selected, pulling out the kegs and announcing the numbers on it.
