bajimat Calaca Bingo — JILI's unique bingo game dressed in festival colours
Calaca Bingo is a lively bingo game inspired by the Mexican "Día de los Muertos" festival. Colourful tickets, fast draws and multiple prize tiers — this game is one of the popular choices to play on the bajimat platform.
How tickets, cards and draws work
In Calaca Bingo, each ticket is made up of 25 squares arranged in a 5×5 grid, with the centre square marked as a free "Free Space". This means each card has 24 numbers selected from 1 to 75.
When the game starts, the system automatically draws numbers one by one from a pool of 1 to 75. Each drawn number is marked on the card wherever it appears. The numbers on tickets are grouped by column — B column has 1–15, I column 16–30, N column 31–45, G column 46–60, and O column 61–75. This structure makes it easy for players to follow their own card.

Winning patterns and number combinations
In Calaca Bingo, winning is not limited to a single straight line — JILI has included several types of patterns in this game, giving each round a different dimension.
One row or column
The first prize tier is triggered when any one complete horizontal row or vertical column is filled. The Free Space counts toward any N column pattern.
EasiestTwo rows together
Completing two full rows on the same card pays a larger prize. The rows can be adjacent or separate.
ModerateFull House
Completing all 24 numbers and the Free Space on the card pays the highest prize. It is the hardest to achieve but the most rewarding.
Highest PrizeDiagonal line
Completing either of the two diagonal lines on the grid — top-left to bottom-right or top-right to bottom-left — also pays a prize.
Strategic choiceT / L shape
A special prize is awarded when the five squares of the top row and all squares of the middle column together form a T shape.
Special patternFrame / Border
Filling all squares along the four edges of the card completes the frame pattern. A total of 16 numbers are needed and the prize value is quite worthwhile.

How prizes are determined
In Calaca Bingo, prizes are not fixed to specific steps or numbers — the payout in each round changes based on the bet amount and the difficulty of the pattern. JILI uses a multiplier structure in this game where the fewer draws it takes to complete a pattern, the higher the multiplier prize you receive.
| Prize Tier | Pattern Type | Multiplier Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | One row or column | 3× – 8× |
| 2nd | Two rows together | 10× – 25× |
| 3rd | Diagonal or T shape | 20× – 50× |
| 4th | Frame / Border | 40× – 100× |
| Highest | Full House | 100× – 500×+ |
Buying multiple tickets in the same round increases your chances of winning, because each ticket is evaluated independently against the same draw. If two tickets complete a pattern at the same time, both prizes are counted separately.

Festival theme and special features
The word "Calaca" comes from the skeleton characters of Mexican folk art, a symbol of the "Día de los Muertos" festival. JILI has poured the colours, designs and spirit of this festival into a bingo format. As a result, the game's visual experience is completely different from ordinary bingo.
The game has a special bonus ball feature — after a set number of draws, a "Calaca Ball" may activate, which automatically marks a random number on your card. This often makes the moment of completing a pattern completely unexpected.
Alongside the option to buy multiple tickets, the game has an "Auto-Dab" option — keeping it on means drawn numbers are automatically marked on your card, so there is no risk of missing a number even when managing several tickets at once.
Many players in Dhaka enjoy Calaca Bingo's fast round cycle, because a new round starts right after the previous one ends — with very little waiting time in between.
Smart budget planning
Bingo is a game many people play over a long period, so setting a budget beforehand is important. The following tips will help make your Calaca Bingo sessions last longer.
Decide in advance how much you will spend in a session. When that amount is used up, take a break — keep a separate balance for the next session.
Buying more tickets increases your chance of winning, but each round costs more. Buying more tickets at a lower price may be more effective in the long run than fewer expensive ones.
If you win a large prize in a round, do not put it all into the next bet — set aside a portion. This is the most effective way to keep your balance going over the long term.
With fewer players around, there is less competition and less chance of sharing a prize in the same round. That is why many players prefer late at night or early in the morning.
If you lose in a session, do not place extra bets immediately to recover. Instead, take a break and come back with a clear head.
Quick checklist
- Set your budget before the session
- Keep Auto-Dab on to manage multiple tickets
- Set aside a portion of your winnings
- Watch for when the Calaca Ball appears
- If you lose, take a break — do not rush
