There are many different types of markers used in bingo. They can be classified according to their purpose and use.
The most common kind of marker is the ball marker. These markers are used to mark the ball when it is hit and are made from a variety of materials, including plastic and metal.
Ball markers are usually round and have a small hole in the middle. They are usually yellow or green in color, and are held in the hand by a spring-loaded pin that punches a hole through the marker when it is hit.
Bingo balls can also be marked with a number of other types of markers, including triangle, square, and star markers. Triangle markers are triangular in shape and have three points on one side. When bingo balls are hit with these markers, they leave a triangle imprint on the surface of the ball. Square markers are similar to triangle markers but have four points on one side.
Star markers look like small circles and have one point at the top. When bingo balls are hit with these markers, they leave a star imprint on the ball.
Other types of markers used for bingo include shot markers, which are used to indicate how many shots have been taken by a player, and point marker, which is used to indicate where points should be placed on the bingo card. Shot markers look like miniature guns and have an orange or red flag on top that points in the direction of the shot.
Point marker look like miniature arrows and have a white or black flag on top that indicates where points should be placed on the bingo card.
