Bingo Game Variations
With online bingo, there is huge variety of variations on the traditional game that the player can choose from.
The main versions of the game are the 75 ball bingo game or the 90 ball bingo game.
In the traditional 75 ball game, bingo cards used are ones with a 5 x 5 grid with the top line representing a letter from the word Bingo. The middle space in the grid is a free number. The 90 ball bingo game card has three horizontal lines and 9 columns. Each column has ten numbers.
Online bingo uses electronic bingo cards that are usually automatically daubed by the computer for the player. Many sites will even highlight the best card during a game and announce bingo for you.
The bingo game cards vary even further with different patterns on the card that the player has to match on their card in order to win.
The bingo game card variations may include “Blackout” patterns where all numbers have to be marked off or the letter “H” where the vertical columns under B and O and the middle horizontal row is marked off.
Combination bingo is when the player is playing more than one bingo game. The first prize may be for cards that are Four Corners but if there is already a winner, the next could be the blackout.
The Pre Called Bingo uses sealed cards, so that the player does not know what numbers their cards have. Payouts are larger and these games are highly anticipated.
Progressive Bingo games are when the player is required to have a winning grouping in a predetermined number of calls. If there is no winner it carries over to the next round, thereby becoming progressive. It is one of the most popular online versions.
