You don't think so? Well we don't need to explain the rules of tea, but we'll tell you all about 90 ball bingo. To start off with, 90 ball bingo is different to 75 ball bingo in that, not only do the bingo cards look different, but the rules are different too! Do not fear though, we'll walk you step by step through the basics of 90 ball bingo.
The bingo card comprises 27 squares fitted on a 9x3 grid. It looks something like this -
The first column carries numbers between 1-10, the second column carries numbers between 11-20 and so on. There are usually one or two numbers in each column; very rarely would you find three. When the game starts the caller will read out the numbers and you must mark off the numbers in each row, referred to as 'lines', as they are called out. Unlike in offline bingo, you will not have to manually use a dauber on your numbers- your tickets will automatically be marked off. You can even choose from a cool selection of dauber colours and shapes! Daub all the numbers in a line (lines run from left to right and are either top, middle or bottom). If you are the first player in the room to get all the numbers for let's say the top line, you claim 1 line and win a share of the jackpot. The game continues until a player has covered 2 lines of numbers and they too win a share of the jackpot. Finally when someone covers all three lines on their bingo card- that's called a full house and they win the big prize!

So you can have your cake and eat it too!
