Abstract
An electronic game of chance is provided in which variations of the United Kingdom version of the game of chance bingo is played. A player may pay to play through a subscription that may also be automatically renewed. A subscription to the game may also be obtained through an alternative method of entry (AMOE). In one variation, numerous winners may occur per game session because the game continues until the predetermined fixed number of winning cell content is drawn and not until a win occurs.
