Sep 13th, 2008 by 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 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 mimimum card purchase to 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.
