75 Ball Bingo Games

In the UK 90 Ball Bingo is the most popular game, whereas in the USA and Canada, 75 Ball Bingo is preferred.

As bingo is so popular it isn’t surprising to find that there are many variations of the game played throughout the world.

The main difference between the 90 ball and 75 ball game is the number of balls used and the bingo cards. As the cards are a different shape, so are the patterns on the cards which form the game. Depending on each individual game, players have to bingo a particular shape to win a prize.

Each 75 ball bingo card is made up of 25 squares: Five across and five down. At the top of each column are the letters ‘B’, ‘I’, ‘N’, ‘G’ and ‘O’. In the five squares below ‘B’ are any five numbers between 1-15. In the five squares below ‘I’ are any five numbers between 16-30. In the five squares below ‘N’ are any five numbers between 31-45. In the five squares below ‘G’ are any five numbers between 46-60. In the five squares below ‘O’ are any five numbers between 61-75. The square in the very centre of the board has no number but is marked with an ‘X’ for a free space.

There are two ways to win 75 ball bingo:

• Straight line wins – be the first player to bingo a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line
• Pattern wins – be the first player to bingo the designated pattern as set by the bingo operator.
