5 types of bingo game

When the online game first launched you could play 75 ball patterns bingo at American Bingo sites and traditional 90 ball line bingo at UK Bingo sites but with all the competition and various online bingo sites now available there is so much variety for the online bingo player.

Over the last couple of years we have seen many online bingo sites move away from offering just 75 ball and 90 ball bingo and seen the launch of 80 ball bingo, speed bingo (played with just 30 numbers) and even a hybrid version of the 75 and 90 ball bingo games.

Here are the High 5 Bingo best variants of online bingo available to play at many online bingo sites:-

1. 90 Ball Bingo. Still the winner for us, you can’t beat a great game of 90 ball bingo with three prizes every game, play for one lines, two lines and then the full house in this traditional bingo game. Each ticket holds just 15 numbers on a 3x9 grid and for 1 line you need to cover 5 numbers on a line, for 2 lines, 10 numbers across 2 lines on the same ticket and a full house requires all 15 numbers to be marked.

2. 75 Ball Bingo. The best known game of 75 ball bingo is played on a 5x5 board and the aim is to cover the numbers depicted on the pattern show in the bingo room. Some online bingo sites offering you three chances to win by playing three patterns in one game whilst others just have one chance using one pattern.

5. 75 Ball Variant. Whilst the traditional game of 75 ball bingo is played for patterns the 75 ball variant is a hybrid of 75 ball and 90 ball bingo; like the traditional game it is played on a 5x5 grid but instead of just one or three chances to win, you have 5 as you play for 1 line, 2 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines and then a full house or coverall as it is sometimes known.
