Well, this great game of bingo has two versions. One of the versions is called the seventy five ball bingo. This version of bingo is mostly played in the United States. In this version of the game a total of seventy five numbers are announced in five columns of fifteen numbers each. The card in the seventy five ball version has twenty five squares consisting of five across and five down forming a square shape. The numbers on the card have been randomly selected from one to seventy five. These cards also have a code printed on them for verification purposes.
The second version of bingo is known as the ninety ball version this version of bingo is usually played in the United Kingdom and Australia. The cards in this version of bingo are called tickets these tickets consist of three rows and nine columns. These tickets are part of a card consisting of six tickets. Out of the nine squares on each row five of them have numbers from one to ninety while the others are blank.
Every session of ninety ball bingo has three winning patterns, which means three possibilities of winning. These possibilities are through either a single, two or three horizontal lines. A full house is called when three horizontal lines are completed. There is a separate prize for each winning pattern.
Major difference between ninety ball bingo and seventy five ball bingo is that ninety ball bingo can have three winners in a single game. Another advantage with ninety ball bingo is you can either choose to buy a single ticket or a full strip of tickets. Ninety ball bingo is also considered more rewarding as you get to win three prizes within a single game. Since ninety ball bingo has more prizes and a higher chance of winning it’s also very popular online.
Basic principles of both ninety ball and seventy five bingo is the primarily same both versions include balls with numbers painted on them and a ball dispenser (that’s what I call them) from which they randomly roll out. Every person playing the game has a set of cards with numbers printed on them and those numbers are to be crossed out as each number is announced. The first person to shout out bingo and have five numbers marked in a line wins. The objective of both versions is to involve people in a non competitive type social activity.
