UK 90 BALL BINGO

This bingo game has been the standard in UK bingo halls for many years. All the UK based online bingo sites will have many bingo rooms that feature 90 ball bingo.

You will purchase a card for the specified price. Some bingo sites will have rooms that allow you to purchase a card for as little as 1p. Of course the jackpot wont be that big but it´s a good place to start. The most common sites and bingo rooms sell you a card for 10p. You will have an option to buy multiple cards. Some rooms will have a minimum card purchase of 5 or 6 cards. There may also be a mimimum card purchase to eligible for the super jackpot.

Once you have your cards the game will start. All money taken from the bingo card purchases will be put into the pot (minus a percentage for the house and an amount for the bonus jackpot). The most common 90 ball bingo games will have 3 prizes with escalating prize amounts.

Firstly you will play to complete a line. The auto dabber will mark off your numbers and let you know when one of your cards is getting close. The single line prize is normally about a half of the full house prize. Next is the 2 lines game. You must complete 2 horizontal lines from your bingo card. The prize amount is usually about three quarters of the full house prize. Next is the full house game. Complete one of your bingo cards to win this prize. Depending on the number of players and the number of cards sold you can expect around £15 for a full house.

In addition to these normal types of games there are also games where you have to complete the 4 corners of your bingo card. There is also the possibility of a jackpot win. The jackpot win is funded by an accumulating pot of money. This prize fund keeps growing until the jackpot is won. To win the jackpot you need to complete one of your bingo cards quickly. The number of balls will be specified in the bingo room lobby. This number may increase or decrease as the prize fund grows.

Most big bingo sites will also have guaranteed jackpot games. The bingo site will give a guaranteed jackpot fund of as much as £25,000. To be in with a chance of winning you need to purchase a minimum specified amount of bingo cards for the jackpot game. And of course complete the card before anybody else, and within the specified number of balls to win.

US 75 BALL BINGO

Bingo has been big business in the USA for many years. The variation played in the US is the 75 ball version. It is basically the same game however there are only 75 balls in the bingo hopper and the bingo cards have 25 numbers.

There are two main types of games played in 75 ball bingo. This is the same at land based bingo halls or online bingo sites.

Firstly there is the coverall (sometimes called blackout). This game is quite simple. There is one prize and you have to be first to complete your bingo card to win. By completing the card within a specified number of bingo balls you can also win what is known as the coverall jackpot. Many online bingo sites will have special coverall prizes and huge jackpots which can make you rich.

More often in standard online bingo rooms you will play 75 ball bingo as a pattern game. Within your 5x5 grid of 25 numbers you have to mark off numbers that relate to a specific pattern. This pattern changes from game to game and is advertised at the start of each game.
