75 ball bingo is the style favoured in the US but is quickly catching up here in the UK in the popularity stakes. Read our Guide to 75 to find out how to play and why we love it here at Tea And Bingo!
What Is 75 Ball Bingo? 75 ball bingo cards are characterised by a 5x5 grid with the centre square usually being empty or having FREE written on it. This game has different rules from regular 90 ball bingo hall bingo and the game makes for great conversations. Unlike the 90 ball bingo game, which requires you to get top line, middle line or bottom line before you hit the full house, the 75 ball bingo game is all about going in for the kill and taking home the jackpot!
How Do I Play 75 Ball Bingo? Hang on, this might take a little while to explain, why don't you bring your cup of tea to this conversation, so you can soak in all the good things at once!
So, a typical 75 ball bingo game has numbers between 1 and 75 randomly placed over 25 squares. The square in the centre is usually marked 'FREE'. There are two types of 75 ball bingo games - the patterns and the coveralls.
Here's an example ticket from 75 ball bingo:
In this instance, the player is looking to complete 1 line of the bingo card. The star in the middle is the free space and as you can see, this player only has 1 to go before completing a line and winning a cash prize!
The pattern style of playing 75 ball bingo is the funnest style of bingo playing, and the game itself can provide a whole lot of fodder for conversations.
The idea is you must complete a pattern formed by drawing a line through different points on a card, and you have to cover the same numbers on your card on the same points to achieve the pattern to claim Bingo! Have a look at the images to give you a better idea of the patterns. You can view the pattern you're trying to make in the top left hand side box on the screen.
To get stuck in, simply enter the 75 ball bingo room from the lobby and purchase tickets for the next
You'll see the pattern you're playing for on the top right hand side of the screen. Here's a few examples....
To get stuck in, simple purchase your tickets before the game and as the balls are called, your numbers will be daubed and hopefully you'll complete the pattern before the other players! Keep your eye out for new and exciting patterns and bonus prizes!
Why Is It So Popular? Online bingo is incredibly popular as a form of socialising and the pattern bingo game in particular fuels this behaviour. The patterns are usually shapes and forms that spark off conversations among folks, if you don't believe it, step into a bingo chat room and see for yourself! You might have to bingo on a tea-cup pattern, and we all know tea is the perfect way to start a relaxing conversation. The other style of playing 75 ball online bingo is the Coveralls, and like the name suggests, all you need to claim a bingo is be the first one to dab off all the numbers on your bingo card! If you got all the numbers that were called out, you could walk away with some really huge jackpots!
