With online bingo becoming increasingly popular, this has led to many numerous games being available for eager enthusiasts.
One of the reasons for this is because software providers have identified a way to become more innovative when it comes to creating more original bingo games to meet the ever-growing demand from players for more differentiation and variety.
Below we have gone more into detail about the different types of bingo games that you can find at many different bingo sites as well as how they work.
90 Ball Bingo
Arguably the most well-known format of bingo, this can be found on virtually every bingo site and is even available in a variety of themes when you visit some. When playing 90 ball bingo online, you are presented with a bingo ticket which comprises a 3×5 grid containing 15 numbers ranging from between one and 90.
The majority of sites issue prizes for getting one line, two lines, and then three lines which are also known as a ‘full house’, while numbers are revealed via a random number generator (RNG). If your ‘ticket’ has a particular number that is produced by the RNG then it is ticked off automatically.
80 Ball Bingo
While this is a rarer format of bingo, it does still have a number of fans and is available at most bingo sites. Players are presented with a ticket based on a 4×4 grid, while prizes are won for completed lines horizontally, vertically, and diagonally as well as for getting all four corners, while this guide provides more info about the game.
75 Ball Bingo
A version of bingo that was actually started and made famous in the US, by businessman Edwin Lowe, this has since found many fans in the UK and is available at a variety of different bingo sites.
The aim of the game is for players to get all numbers in a 5×5 grid, where each column is assigned a letter across which spells out ‘B-I-N-G-O’. However, it is common in most versions of the game for players to get pre-defined patterns as well to win prizes which helps to lend more excitement.
Deal or No Deal Bingo
Throwing into the mix a bingo game that is based on a particular theme (in this case, the TV show), this game is available in two formats, those being either 90 ball bingo or 75 ball bingo. It means that this has a number of different features from the popular television franchise, while the winner of this game also gets to play Deal or No Deal at the end.
Hex Bingo
Staying with themed bingo, players of this game are issued tickets in the form of hexagons, while it is also based on the 30 ball bingo format, which is also known as ‘Speed Bingo’. Each number is generated in different colored disks and you are required to choose the color of the number that you think will be called last.
