The Rules of Bingo
May 20th, 2008The exact rules for online bingo vary depending on which casino online you are using. Bingo and poker sites using the British rules – which tend to be ones based in Europe, Australia, and South America, tend to play a 90 ball game. In North America, a 75 ball game is more common.

The pattern which players are aiming for on their card can vary depending on which online casino you are playing bingo at. In some online bingo games, the goal is to get a straight line, in other cases the idea is to get a themed pattern.
In 90 ball online bingo games, each card has three lines running horizontally, and 9 columns – the first column represents the numbers 1 through 9, the second 10 to 19, and so on. Only five numbers per column will be visible, for a total of 15 numbers per card.
If your chosen casino online is using the 90 ball rules, then the game will have three stages. The first stage is ‘one line’ – where you must aim for a horizontal line of five numbers marked on one card. The second stage requires two lines on one card for a total of 10 numbers. The final stage is a ‘Full house’ – where you have marked all the numbers on one card.
A full house in a game of online bingo typically offers the biggest prize, although the actual payout varies depending on the online casino you are playing at.
