Let us now dig deep and see how these bingo card games are played

  •     90 Bingo cards

This bingo variant is basically played in the UK. In this game, the card contains 3 rows and 9 columns. Each row has 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces which can be distributed randomly with the rows. Each column has numbers arranged in the fashion: 1–9, 10–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79 and 80–90, which makes 9 columns in all. You are free to choose winning patterns of your choice like full-house (cover all the numbers on all three rows and columns), first line, second line, all corners, top five etc.

  •      80 Bingo cards

When it comes to 80 bingo cards, a player has to select a ticket which is in the square matrix of 4X4 (4 columns and 4 rows, resulting in 16 numbers in all). Moreover, each column is represented by a unique color. For instance the first column is colored red and has numbers ranging from 1-20,; the second column is in yellow and has numbers from 21-40; the third column is painted blue, with numbers from 41-60, while the fourth column has numbers 61-80 and is colored silver.

Once you have selected a bingo card, you need to click or buy it (among the large number of cards) and play the 80 ball bingo game. 
To summarize, you have to buy a bingo card, select  a number and shout “BINGO” on achieving a pattern like vertical, horizontal, centre,  big X, diagonal, four corners etc.

  •      75 Bingo cards

The 75 ball bingo is mostly played in the US, with the card consisting of a 5x5 grid.  There are 25 boxes in all with the central box being a “Free” space. The word “BINGO” can be seen written at the top. Moreover, the first column ‘B’ contains the numbers ranging from 1-15, the second column ‘I’ has the numbers ranging from 16-30, the third column ‘N’ has numbers between 31-45, the fourth column ‘G’ has numbers ranging from 46-60;, while the fifth column O holds numbers ranging from 61-75.

Bingo cards can have various winning patterns. The most straightforward pattern involves spotting of vertical, horizontal and diagonal line of numbers. Many other games have specific patterns like unique shapes which is not found elsewhere. All of these make the game interesting pulling in crowds from far and wide.
