Compared to other games related to or associated with gambling, such as slots, bingo games don’t have as many versions or variants. This is perhaps because the game is so simple that we don’t really need to have different versions of it. Besides, bingo has always been very popular ever since it was introduced, so it’s not really necessary to deviate from the original, successful format. But, that being said, there are still three major types of bingo online, one of which is 90-ball bingo.
90-ball bingo can be said to be the most popular online bingo game of them all, and for good reason. So how is it played, and how can you maximise your chances of winning? Let’s find out.
The basics
The concept behind this type of bingo is pretty simple and can be understood by most anyone. Basically, you would have 90 balls to play with for every game, which means that 90 balls are available in the drum.
Every ticket will also have a total of 15 numbers, and these numbers are laid down in a format of three lines. Every line will also have five numbers (random), with each of the numbers found only once on every ticket. Numbers are not repeated. Because of the distribution of the numbers, you can expect thousands of different combinations and permutations.
How you can play
In order to be able to play this game online, you would have to buy a ticket from a particular online bingo website. Keep in mind that the price of the ticket may vary, based on the site itself and the room where you are planning to play. When you have your ticket or tickets (you can always buy more than one, of course), the game will begin when the countdown stops at zero. The caller should then begin calling out every number that is drawn from the machine.
In online bingo, the software will be responsible for dabbing out or deleting those numbers which have already been drawn (you don’t have to do this yourself). In 90 ball bingo, the first part of the game will be played for one line which goes across. When a player is lucky enough to get all the numbers on this single line, the software will automatically acknowledge it and will give the player the prize for the single line. The second part of 90 ball bingo is played with two lines for winning, so the first individual to get two lines from their ticket will win. The third and final section or part of the game is the ‘full house’ part. This would give out the best and biggest prizes, and the winner of the third part would be the first individual to have all the 15 numbers on their tickets.
