PLAYING ONLINE BINGO - UK 90 BALL BINGO

This bingo game has been the standard in UK bingo halls for many years. All the UK based online bingo sites will have many bingo rooms that feature 90 ball bingo.

You will purchase a card to play bingo for the specified price. Some bingo sites will have rooms that allow you to purchase a card for as little as 1p. Of course the jackpot wont be that big but it´s a good place to start. The most common sites and bingo rooms sell you a card for 10p. You will have an option to buy multiple cards. Some rooms will have a minimum card purchase of 5 or 6 cards. There may also be a minimum card purchase to be eligible for the super jackpot.

Once you have your cards the game will start. All money taken from the bingo card purchases will be put into the pot (minus a percentage for the house and an amount for the bonus jackpot). The most common 90 ball bingo games will have 3 prizes with escalating prize amounts.

Firstly you will play to complete a line. The auto dabber will mark off your numbers and let you know when one of your cards is getting close. The single line prize is normally about a half of the full house prize. Next is the 2 lines game. You must complete 2 horizontal lines from your bingo card. The prize amount is usually about three quarters of the full house prize. Next is the full house game. Complete one of your bingo cards to win this prize. Depending on the number of players and the number of cards sold you can expect around £15 for a full house.

In addition to these normal types of games there are also games where you have to complete the 4 corners of your bingo card. There is also the possibility of a jackpot win. The jackpot win is funded by an accumulating pot of money. This prize fund keeps growing until the jackpot is won. To win the jackpot you need to complete one of your bingo cards quickly. The number of balls will be specified in the bingo room lobby. This number may increase or decrease as the prize fund grows.

Most big bingo sites will also have guaranteed jackpot games. The bingo site will give a guaranteed jackpot fund of as much as £25,000. To be in with a chance of winning you need to purchase a minimum specified amount of bingo cards for the jackpot game. And of course complete the card before anybody else, and within the specified number of balls to win.
