How To Play Bingo!

The basic game of bingo involves players buying bingo cards that contain numbers, and then striking numbers from the card as a bingo caller calls numbers from a bingo ball machine. It's similar to the national lottery where you have six numbers and numbers are called at random - if you have all the numbers you win.

Bingo comes in two forms 75 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo. Quite simply this means balls are either drawn from 1-75 or 1-90. The other difference are the bingo cards used in each game. 75 ball bingo cards are basically a 5x5 grid and you either have to cross of numbers so they match a pattern or cross off all the numbers. 75 ball bingo is mainly associated with American players but it's an interesting twist on what we know in the UK.

90 ball bingo is our bread and butter and involves bingo cards that have 3 rows and 9 columns. During a single game of 90 ball bingo you have three chances of winning as players initially play to cross of numbers in 1 line, then 2 lines and then all three lines, commonly known as a full house.

Many online bingo rooms offer both 75 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo as well as tempting deposit bonuses to welcome you to the game. As a beginner we recommend you sign up with as many bingo rooms as you can, play the free bingo cards on offer and then once you're happy with the game and which bingo rooms you like stick with those few.
