There are two traditional types of bingo that is 75-ball and 90-ball bingo , however, recently bingo.com, an Internet bingo games company, has created their own 80-ball bingo game.
75 Ball Bingo
Traditionally played in the US and Canada, bingo players purchase cards with numbers on a 5×5 card with headings of the 5 letters of each letter of B-I-N-G-O at the top of each column. Numbers are then drawn at random out of a total of 75 balls until the point that one player in the room completes the necessary bingo pattern, for example, straight line (one single line), blackout (fill the entire card), a letter C, a cross, etc.
Bingo cards have twenty-five boxes on them with a number in the the box with the exception of the free space in the middle. The numbers on the card are chosen at random. The B column will contain five numbers chosen between one and 15. The i column will include 5 numbers from sixteen and 30. The N column will contain 5 numbers thirty-one and 45. G will contain 5 numbers between 46 and sixty, and lastly the O column between 61 and 75.
Usually players can choose from as many as six thousand unique cards to choose from, therefore, the game of bingo is primarily a game of chance not skill. However, the skill of the game derives when efficient players can play multiple cards and therefore, increase their chances of winning.
