75-Ball Bingo

Traditionally played in the US and Canda, bingo players purchase cards with numbers on a 5×5 grid with headings of the 5 letters of each letter of B-I-N-G-O at the top of of the columns. Numbers are then drawn at random out of a total of 75 balls until the point that one player in the room completes the necessary bingo pattern, for example, straight line (one single line), blackout (fill the entire card), a letter C, a cross, etc.

Bingo cards contain twenty-five boxes on them with a number in the the box with the exception of the free space in the middle. The numbers on the card are chosen at random. The B column containsfive numbers chosen between one and fifteen. The i column will include five numbers from 16 and Thirty. The N column will contain five numbers thirty-one and 45. G will contain five numbers between 46 and 60, and lastly the O column between 61 and 75.

Usually players can choose from as ...
... many as six thousand unique cards to choose from, therefore, the game of bingo is primarily a game of chance not skill. However, the skill of the game derives when efficient players can play multiple cards and therefore, increase their chances of winning.

90 Ball Bingo

In most other countries 90-ball bingo is played. But, when playing online you will usually have many Internet bingo game sites offering both, and as mentioned above even 80 ball bingo. 90 ball
bingo cards contain three lines and nine columns and will sometimes be bound in books. Single books have ten ten pages with ten separate cards each with a different color. Skilled players can play all 6 books, however, it is also possible to play a single book or a single card even.

Each individual card is called a ticket. Bingo tickets consist of 3 rows and 9 columns. Each row contains 5 random numbers and 4 blank spaces. 90 ball bingo is almost always played with strips of tickets. A strip is a set of 6 tickets, containing all 90 numbers, distributed throughout. When a strip of tickets is played in one bingo game, every possible number from 1-90 is covered and therefore, a number is crossed off at each bingo call. You buy strips of tickets at the beginning of each game, up to a maximum of 48 tickets.

The game is played with 3 patterns. The patterns are called One Line, Two Lines, and Full House. The first player to correctly cross off a horizontal line wins the first prize. The game then continues and the first player to cross off two horizontal lines wins the next prize. Finally, the first player to cross off all the numbers on a ticket (Full House) wins the maximum prize.
