Loteria is a tradicional game of chance, similar to bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of plain numbers on ping pong balls. Every image has a name and an assigned number, but the number is usually ignored. These Loteria Keychains and bottle openers in one have different cards printed on them so each set includes 12 diferrent loteria cards. Loteria is often referred to as “Mexican Bingo”. For anyone who has had the opportunity to play Loteria, will find similarities in playing American Bingo. However, players will quickly realize, how much more visually and intellectually engaging and fun it is to play Loteria than the American Bingo game. In American Bingo, an announcer calls out the selected letters and numbers, such as “B-4” and the players mark their game boards accordingly. In Loteria, the announcer gives an improvised short poem or familiar phrase alluding to the image on the card (e.g. “the coat for the poor” for the image of the sun, or “the one who dies by the mouth” for the image of the fish). Each player uses a chip -often a kernel of corn or a bean-to mark the corresponding spot on his or her table. In either game, the first player to appropriately fill the game board or tabla in a predefined pattern will shout either “Bingo!”or “Loteria!” to win the game and receive the prize. Loteria has been played as a game of chance, as a pastime, and for educational purposes. Because the Loteria cards include the name of the pictured character, they are used to teach reading, writing, history, and social values. Many bilingual teachers use the game as a teaching tool in the United States.These Mexican key chains keychains are great cinco de mayo party favors.
