Patterns for 75 ball bingo include coverall, heart and flower.

90 Ball Bingo

This is the UK's favourite Bingo game. It has been something of a national institution since the 1960s and is played in Bingo Halls nationwide. The games name comes from the 90 balls (numbered 1-90) used in the game. To play 90 ball bingo you will need to purchase between 1 and 24 tickets. Each ticket has three horizontal lines of five numbers, meaning each card has 15 numbers.

The object of the game is to complete three successful patterns, the first being a single line across, the second two lines across, and the third for all numbers on the strip, commonly known as a full house. The prize increases in value for each successful pattern with the games jackpot awarded to the first player to complete a Full House.
