Different Variants of Real Money Bingo
Bingo is a game that is popular in many countries. The game was initially played only in churches and halls. But today, you can find various online bingo rooms where you can enjoy different versions of this game. Bingo is centered on random selection of numbers. The selection used to be through hands when playing in brick and mortar bingo halls, but in the online world, an RNG (random number generator) is used for picking the number.
The player has to buy tickets, which have some of these numbers on them. As the numbers come up, the player ticks them off on the card. If you create a particular pattern, or tick off certain numbers on the card, you win. Depending upon the numbers used and the patterns needed for winning, there can be many variants of this game. Here is some information about the popular variants of Bingo.
75 ball bingo
75 ball bingo real money is mostly played in the USA. As the name suggests, the bingo balls in this game are numbered from 1 to 75. The bingo card or ticket has 25 squares arranged in 5 columns and 5 rows. The top of the card has the letters B, I, N, G, and O, with one letter for each column. The central square, which is the intersection of the third column and the third row is called the free square, and helps in making various patterns. Various patterns which may be related to some festival like Christmas can also be made. Other popular patterns are a cruise ship, smiley and diamond.
90 ball bingo
In UK, Asia, and parts of Australia, 90 ball bingo is preferred over 75 ball bingo. The bingo cards have 3 rows and 9 columns. However, not all the 27 squares have numbers inside them. Instead, you only have 15 numbers on the card with 5 numbers on each row. Winning patterns are more traditional in this format of bingo. For instance, you can either complete the first, second, or the third row for a prize. Apart from that, you can fill up the four corners. But the biggest prize is for the full house, which is to fill the entire card.
80 ball bingo
This variant of bingo may not be as popular as the others but it provides a lot of entertainment. In this version of bingo, the card has 4 rows and columns with each square having a number between 1 and 80. Also, all the squares are of a different color. One of the major reasons that this game has been getting popular is because of the speed at which it is played. It is a lot more fast-paced than both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo. Patterns offered in this game are also quite unique like covering the four corners or the central square to name a few.
Although these are the three most popular variants of bingo, those who like more variety, can go to different online bingo rooms to find out what they have to offer.
