Bingo

Bingo is a game played around the world and there are various different versions. 90 ball bingo is the most common in the UK where players buy bingo cards with a grid 9 squares by 3 (9x3). Every bingo card has 3 lines down and columns across. Each line has 5 numbers chosen at random. Numbers are then called by a bingo caller at random from a selection of 90 different balls and players must mark off each number they have on their bingo card. Jackpots and Prizes are rewarded depending on how many lines are marked off on the bingo card. A Prize is rewarded for one line, two lines and then a full house which is all numbers on the players card. Jackpots and Prizes increase depending on how many lines a player marks off with their Dauber (pronounced: door-ba, a fancy marker pen). In the US its more common to play 75 ball bingo on a 5x5 grid and the center square is marked 'free'. Other variations include 80 and 30 ball bingo. 30 ball bingo is also know as 'Speed Bingo' and is played on a 3x3 card. A player is required to mark off all the numbers on their grid before any prize is rewarded. 80 ball bingo is a cross between 75 and 90 played on a 4x4 grid and usually requires players to have marked off their numbers in a pattern, e.g 4 corners or horizontal and diagonal lines. All variations of bingo can offer extra prizes or jackpots for marking off numbers in a certain pattern.

Online Bingo

Online Bingo although based on the original game played in bingo halls is slightly different from playing the physical game. Bingo cards are marked off and sorted automatically without you having to keep up with the bingo caller! Rather than sitting at a table and chatting with other bingo players you are given an online chat facility. The advantages of bingo cards being marked automatically (known as auto-daub) is that less concentration is required on the game which actually means you get more of a chance to chat which makes the online game much more of a social game than many would think. Some online bingo sites have meet ups and there have even been weddings where players have found love online! The auto-daub function also allows players to play many of the different side-games such as Slots, Scratchcards and casino games such as Roulette and Video Poker. Playing bingo online also means that a variety of other games can be created and played that just wouldn't be possible in the traditional bingo hall. This gives you some idea as to why online bingo has become so popular.
