Online Bingo Rules: Introduction

 Bingo has already been played for centuries and the term "Bingo" is originally from Italy. Often it is played at charity events, where the profit is a non-profit organization or a club. Since the beginning of the 21st Century you can also play online Bingo, which brings with it many advantages: You can play at any time and also with very low stakes and you don’t even have to leave the house.

Bingo Rules

Bingo is a game that promises plenty of fun and excitement. The rules are easily explained. A Bingo player buys one or more playing cards. On a map a range of numbers (e.g. 25 for 75 ball Bingo) is shown. Now a ball (also called ball or number) is drawn by someone who calls out  the number on the ball. If this number on your card, then you mark it. Once you reach the winning combination - usually a horizontal line - "Bingo" is called and the winner gets the appropriate jackpot.

Bingo Rules: The playing cards and numbers

To play bingo games, you must purchase at least one playing card. On a Bingo card game variants of  the same number of figures is depicted, albeit in different order and with different numbers. A single game ticket’s cost depends on the value of prizes ranging from a few cents to hundreds of dollars. Advanced Bingo players prefer playing with more than one game card so they increase their chance of winning and have more action in the game. The two most popular type of Bingo are the 75 ball variants and 90 ball Bingo.
Accordingly, there are either 75 or 90 numbers that can be drawn. A round of 75 ball Bingo takes less time because there are fewer numbers to choose from and it is completed more quickly for someone to call a Bingo. 75 ball Bingo is most common in the U.S. and so will also be offered online anywhere. The map consists of a grid of five by five fields. 90 ball Bingo is very widespread in Europe. A playing card is 3 spaces high and 9 squares wide. Of these, there are numbers mapped five per row, so it totals 15.

Bingo Rules: The pattern and gain ranks

Usually you win in Bingo when you have completed the first horizontal row. There are also variants of this rule. Depending on the provider you can also win a prize if you have completed the first two rows. And then there is the full house, or even blackout of the Full Card: This combination you get when you have covered all the numbers on your card. Online casinos often offer progressive jackpots for those who manage to cover within 50 balls or balls on all fields.
