75 ball bingo

75 ball bingo is traditionally thought to be the American game of bingo but more recently we have seen many variations of the 75 ball bingo game hit the online bingo industry. It used to be that 75 ball bingo was played for a “pattern” where the idea is to cover the numbers to match the pattern.

This is an example of 75 ball bingo, the pattern game, taken from internet bingo site Foxy Bingo.

As you can see the pattern for the example used is the number three; in order to in using the ticket in the example you would need to have marked off numbers 1, 15, 19, 22, 23, 40, 44, 47, 48, 57, 67 and 74.

If you visit a site like Ladbrokes Bingo however you will find another version of the 75 ball bingo game – multi line or as it is sometimes know, Scandinavian bingo. In this variation of the game, in comparison with the pattern bingo at Foxy Bingo where you have just one chance to win; you have five chances.

The 75 ball bingo game at Ladbrokes Bingo is like a hybrid of 75 and 90 ball bingo; you can win 1 lines, 2 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines and a full house. Using the example below you would need to mark off all the numbers in any line to win 1 line, all the numbers in any 2 lines to win and so on and so forth.

The fun with 75 ball bingo doesn’t stop there because many online bingo sites offer another variation which is the multi-part 75 ball bingo game. This version is based on patterns but unlike the example from Foxy Bingo you have three chances to win by matching three different patterns.

JackpotCity Bingo is one of the online bingo sites that offer this variation of the game and below is an example of three patterns you could be playing to match.

With the introduction of the new variants of the 75 ball bingo game it is rapidly becoming as popular as the 90 ball bingo game in the UK.
