Unless the San Francisco 49ers or Kansas City Chiefs hold a special place in your heart – or you’re holding a betting slip on one of them in your digital or actual wallet – Super Bowl 58 will be about friends, beers, and way too much seven-layer dip.
And one of the two most traditional gambling events for folks who don’t even think they’re gambling: Super Bowl squares.
Over 20 million Americans are expected to plunk down a couple of bucks and fill in a few squares this year, either on a nacho-smudged piece of paper in the den or online. They’ll casually root for those magic sets of numbers to align for some extra antacid money and bragging rights. Next to the March Madness bracket, it marks one of those two times a year when everyone’s a sharp.
Gaming Today has your complete guide on how to set up, play, and study to win Super Bowl squares.

How to play Super Bowl Squares:
- Participants claim one or more of the 100 squares of a 10-by-10 grid. Mark it with your name.
- The rows and columns are randomly labeled with a number from 0-9 – each corresponding to one of the Super Bowl teams – once all the Super Bowl squares are taken.
- Determining a winner: The last digit of each Super Bowl team’s score will correspond to a square on the grids. Locate that corresponding square on the grid to identify a winner.
- A winner can be chosen at the end of each quarter or more unconventional ways, such as at the end of drives.
