Types Of Bingo Games Available Online
- 90-Ball Bingo: This version is one of the most famous bingo games that players in the United Kingdom enjoy best.
How to play?
90-Ball uses 90 numbered balls and a bingo card that contains nine columns and three rows, with each row containing five numbers, totalling 15 numbers on the whole card. Each column contains two or at least one number. The first column has to contain a number with the range of 1-9, the second column 20-29, the third 30-39, the fourth 40-49, and it goes on like that to the 9th column.
If a player can mark off all five numbers on a single row, they will be declared the single line winner. After marking off the first line, if the player can also mark off another row entirely on the same ticket, they will get a prize again.
Finally, for the overall prize, you have to mark off all 90 numbers on your ticket, and that is when you are declared the Full House winner. The amount of the prize to be won is dependent on how many players were able to complete all 90 numbers on their tickets.
- 75-Ball Bingo: This version is almost as old as the 90-ball bingo, but it is more prevalent in the United States.
How to play? As expected, 75-ball bingo utilizes 75 numbered balls, with a card containing five rows and five columns, all filled with a number, except for the middle one, which totals the number on the card to 24. The word “BINGO” is written at the top of the card, precisely placed above all five columns. The first column below “B” contains from 1-15, “I” contains 16-30, “N” contains 31-45, and it goes like that till the 5th column.
There are lots of winning patterns in a 75-ball bingo game. When a player crosses off all numbers, except 2nd and 4th numbers on lines two and four, the player is declared winner, and this winning pattern is known as Window Frame. Similarly to 90-ball bingo, 75-ball also has the Full House pattern, but they refer to it as Coverall. Other famous winning formulas in 75-ball include Witches Hat, Any Three lines, W Bingo Pattern, etc.
- 80-Ball Bingo: This bingo game is relatively new and not as popular as the previous two, but it is also an exciting version. 80-ball bingo is exclusive to online bingo and is one of the significant factors why online bingo has an advantage over land-based bingo games.
How to play? The winning pattern of this version is very similar to that of the 75-ball bingo. However, it uses a bingo card that contains four rows and four columns with 16 numbers on the card. The winning patterns include Any Line, where you only need to mark off all numbers on a line in any direction, Four Corners, which requires you to be the first player to mark off all the numbers on the four corners of the card and Cover All, where you are declared the winner if you cross off all the numbers on your card and you do it before anybody else.
