The most widely played online Bingo game in the United Kingdom and Australia is 90-ball Bingo. 90-ball Bingo is very similar to 75-ball Bingo. All a player needs to do is purchase Bingo cards and mark off the numbers that are called. The very first player who correctly marks off the full pattern on his card is the winner.
Although 90-ball and 75-ball Bingo have the same basic foundation there are numerous differences in the way they’re played.
The 90-Ball Bingo cards have three rows and nine columns. Five squares in each row contain the numbers 1 to 90 and the rest of the squares are blank. There are normally three patterns in each game. These are invariably the same and each of the three patterns have a prize associated with it.
These patterns include:
~ a single line across (line) - The first player to correctly cross off any horizontal line
~ Two lines across (two lines) - The first player to correctly cross off any two horizontal lines
~ Full house - The first player to correctly cross off all three lines
With 90-Ball Bingo a player almost always plays with strips of six tickets or cards. The six tickets between them contain all 90 numbers set out in a dab-all format. If a strip (6 Tickets) is played in one Bingo game, then every possible number from 1-90 is covered and therefore a number is crossed off at each Bingo call.
The United States of America and Canada play the75-ball Bingo version. 75-ball Bingo is very similar to 90-ball Bingo. A player buys tickets or Bingo cards with printed numbers. A Bingo pattern for each game is displayed on the cards. Normally, each game is called and played with a different winning pattern, which adds more fun and excitement to the game.
Players may find patterns consisting of just 4 dots in the corners or, in some cases, the whole card may be a shaded pattern. This is known as a Coverall Pattern.
A Bingo player winner is someone who has all the squares in any of his 5 x 5 bingo cards shaded exactly as the displayed pattern. There are a maximum of 75 numbers - thus 75-ball bingo and there are four main 75-ball online bingo card patterns.
