Caller

Other Table Games

The casino employee who announces the randomly drawn numbers in bingo and keno games. In live bingo, the caller draws numbered balls from a mechanical blower device and announces them in a traditional rhythmic patter. In keno, the caller oversees the draw process (whether using a ball blower or electronic random number generator) and announces the 20 winning numbers for each game. The caller plays a crucial role in maintaining game pace, creating an entertaining atmosphere, and ensuring accurate number announcement. In some jurisdictions, the caller position requires specific licensing or certification.
