75 Ball Bingo


This exciting American version of bingo is quite popular. It is played with the aim of completing the game pattern on a 5 X 5 bingo card, with 24 numbers and a free space to win amazing rewards.

The 75 ball bingo game is loaded with a variety of bingo patterns ranging from simple straight lines to complex picnic tables. This wide range of bingo patterns can be categorized in two types of bingo patterns:

Static bingo patterns: these bingo patterns are stable and don’t switch positions on the bingo card. A static pattern is won only when you cover all the highlighted or marked squares on your bingo card. Crazy Bingo Patterns: these bingo patterns are not static. They can be quite challenging as they keep rotating from 90° to 180°, and from 180° to 270°.

Winning at online bingo could not be simpler. Winning depends on the numbers drawn, and if the numbers drawn match any the numbers on your card/s. There are usually 2 types of jackpots that can be won, and these are:

Progressive Jackpots: this jackpot keeps growing with every round of bingo till it is won. This jackpot is won if you are the first one to complete the pattern on your bingo card in certain prefixed number of calls. The higher the number of calls, the better the odds of winning the jackpot. Guaranteed Jackpots: these jackpots don’t grow but remain the same throughout. In order to win a guaranteed jackpot, you need to complete the winning bingo pattern on your bingo card within the 75 balls.

90 Ball Bingo


The object of the 90 ball bingo game, which is the more traditionally British version, is similar to other versions of online bingo, which is to complete the winning patterns. This variation of online bingo has three possible winning patterns, and thus three possible chances to win. Each of the winning patterns, when completed, have their own specific prize associated. The winning patterns are:

Line: the first player to complete any horizontal line correctly wins this pattern. Two Lines: the first player to complete any two different horizontal lines wins this pattern. Full House: the first player to complete all the three lines on the ticket wins the full house pattern. As soon as a player wins the first prize (single line prize), the player receives the prize attached to that win. The game continues until a player wins the second prize (two line prize). The game is considered complete when a player wins the full house prize by completing all three lines on their bingo card, and will thus receive the biggest prize of the game.
