75 Ball or 90 Ball Bingo

Once you have deposited money onto some of your favourite free online bingo sites you are ready to start playing in any of the games available. There are two different types of games, regular 90 ball or the 75 ball option. 90 ball cards are made up of 9 squares by three on each three rows there will be five number which gives you a total of 15 numbers, whilst a 75 ball card is 5×5 every square on these cards will have a number it which gives a total of 24 numbers.

90 ball bingo is played in three prize winning stages, (one line) you have to daub any one complete line of five before any other player calls out. The second stage is two line, this time you will have to complete two whole lines in order to win. The final stage is the biggest prize (Full house), be the first to have all their balls called out on any one card to win this prize.

In 75 bingo games there will be a card pattern which will vary in different games, to win you must daub off the numbers on your card as they are called out in order to create the winning pattern. In some games there may not be a pattern and you may just have to cover the whole card.

Sometimes more than one person will call out for the win at the same time as you or someone else, if this does happen the prize is simply shared equally between each of the players who called out.

After selecting which type of game you wish to play you will have to purchase your gaming cards, you can pick one or more cards (all games will have a maximum card limit). Once the game gets under way balls will be picked and called by a random number generator. Most sites use the auto-daub feature that automatically marks your numbers as they are called, also if you have purchased more than one card most sites order them throughout the game with your best card displayed usually above the rest.

Once you have filled in the required amount of numbers the site will automatically recognise that you have won, so there is no need to shout bingo … although you are entitled to do so if you like. All of these auto features are mainly put in place so that you can enjoy the bingo community, well established sites will feature live chat games so whilst you sit there nervously waiting for those numbers you can chat away.
