Bingo Pattern Variations

Playing bingo online allows the player access to over 350 online sites, each with their own distinct design and feel, bonus offers and above all else, game variations.
Across the US and Canada the most common bingo game played is the one involving a 5 x 5 grid game card in a 75 ball game.

The 90 ball game is more common in Europe and Australia. Game cards in this one consists of 9 columns by 3 rows and is played in three stages; completing one line, then two lines and then going for the full house.

The winning patterns in 90 ball are all the same with each game having usually three patterns, each with its own prize. Patterns include single line across for one line, two lines across for three lines and the remaining numbers for a full house.

Players just have to complete a row of numbers to win bingo in the traditional game. With the bingo game card patterns, players have to match their numbers up to the pattern in play.
Examples of this are game card patterns that are in the shape of a letter, for example, Z or H. Alternatively, they could be in the shape of a number such as 4 or 7, or in the shape of an object. Covering all the numbers in a “Black Out” is another popular version.

Combination bingo games, pre called games and progressive games feature on most online sites. In combination bingo the same player can win twice or multiple players can win. Pre called games use game cards that are sealed and no one can see their cards until the event has begun. When it does there’s usually a large jackpot on offer.

These add a further dimension to bingo and prizes vary as well. The player has a myriad of choices to make his bingo playing much more fun.
