If you’ve ever played bingo before, on holiday or at a club, you will more than likely have played 90 Ball Bingo, as this is the version of bingo most commonly played in the UK. You’ll be pleased as well to hear that 90 ball bingo is played online exactly the same as it is played in a land based club.

When playing 90 Ball Bingo the ultimate goal is to mark off all of your numbers before anyone else does, which is what is known as getting a Full House. Before that happens though there will usually be a game where the winner is the first person to get all of their numbers on one line marked off, and more often that not this is followed by a game where the winner is the first player to get two lines marked off on the same card. These both will get you a prize, although not as high of course as the full house prize.

Tickets to play in a 90 Ball game can usually sold as a strip of 6 cards. Each card is divided into 9 columns and 3 rows, so there are 27 squares altogether but only 15 of these have numbers on, 5 in each row. As you’re playing the 90 ball game of bingo it is made easier by the fact that the numbers are organized into columns, so the first one will have numbers 1-9, the second will have 10-19, the third numbers 20-29 and so on. On each strip of 6 each number will only be found once, which saves some time as once you have found and marked off the number you don’t need to keep searching for it, unlike 75 Ball Bingo where the same number can appear more than once. If you are playing though just one single card there is a one in six chance that any number called will be on your card.

90 Ball Bingo is a fun game to play. The numbers do get called at a steady rate though, so do make sure you pay attention, and if you miss out on a line it may just be as there’s a full house waiting for you when you play 90 ball bingo now!
