How to Play Bingo

Whether you are playing online or at a land based venue, bingo is one of the most simple games to play which is one of the reasons it remains so popular.

There are variations to the games (see below) but principally the format is the same whichever type of bingo you are playing.

The arrangement of the numbers in a grid format grid make it quicker for players to locate a number and ‘daub’ it when they are called.

You pay to play by the number of cards you have in each game with some players preferring to manage just one card whilst others can play multiple cards.

The caller will draw balls from a machine (or selected at random for ‘virtual bingo games’ online) and players who have the corresponding number on their card will mark it off.

A house (‘housie’ or jackpot) is called when you have matched all your numbers on a card with most venues and sites operating a ‘first-past-the-post’ system so a single call of ‘housie’ marks the end of the game.

Winning prizes can vary by venue, game type or site but generally a full line across your card (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) can represent a smaller win with four corners also being lucky. Some games also feature winning shapes but the principle remains the same; match the called balls on your card (or multiple cards) and call ‘housie’ before any other player to win.

In some games, the centre of the grid is pre-marked as a ‘free’ ball thus making it easier to match a diagonal line.

Online games often feature an ‘auto-daub’ function which means you don’t have to scan multiple cards manually to match your winning balls. Some casinos and larger bingo venues also operate terminals or electronic gaming tablets that offer this feature.

Game Variations

The most common forms of Bingo are the 75, 80 or 90 ball games;

🤑 75 Ball Bingo: A card consists of the word ‘BINGO’ written across the top with a grid beneath containing randomly chosen numbers in sequential order. In a 75-ball game format, numbers below the B will be 1-15, beneath I 16-30, N 31-45, G 46-60 and 0 61-75. There are usually several ways to win on this format with vertical, diagonal and horizontal lines being lucky as well as a ‘housie’ of 24 numbers. Patterns may also be used to determine a winning combination.

🤑 90 Ball Bingo: Cards are arranged in three horizontal lines with nine columns. The first column contains the numbers 1-9, the second 10-19 and so on. Players compete to match the numbers on, first, a single line, then a second with a full house signifying a jackpot. This type of game is the more traditional variety of Bingo and is most common in Europe, particularly with UK sites.

🤑 80 Ball Bingo: Numbers are arranged on a grid made up of four columns and four rows with each column being a different colour. Play is similar to 75-ball bingo with winning patterns in addition to winning lines.

What bingo numbers are called the most?

In a 75-ball bingo game, the number 75 is the highest possible number to be found on your bingo cards – are you sensing a pattern here? In our 36-ball Cash Cube games, the number 36 is also the highest number called

What is the luckiest number?

The most frequent numbers are: 26, 16, 41, 32, and 28. Number 26 has been drawn 281 more times than the least common ball number 66, although that is due to the number of balls being increased recently and not because number 66 is incredibly unlucky!

HISTORY

Who invented Bingo?

Legend has it that bingo first began in Italy, originating from their traditional lottery game “Il Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia” in the 1500s. From there it moved to France in the late 1700s where its name evolved to “Le Lotto”

Where did the word Bingo come from?

The game we call "bingo” actually started out as “beano.” The history of the game dates back to the mid-1500s. "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia," or the Italian Lottery, was all the rage. Players had cards with numbered squares on them, and the winning numbers were drawn out of a sack. 토토사이트
