Bingo Variants

Those of you who thought that a game of bingo online offered nothing more than the traditional 90 ball game then think again. There are so many bingo variants on offer in the world of internet bingo today that you really are spoilt for choice at many of the different brands available. Most sites now offer 90 ball bingo and many also offer other bingo games such as 75 ball and 80 ball games. Both of these bingo variants operate in different ways depending on which bingo software a site uses.

75 ball and 80 ball bingo variants can be played using patterns or lines and full houses. Think Bingo is a site which uses both 90 ball and 75 ball bingo games, while the 90 ball is played in the traditional way, they choose to offer the 75 ball by using patterns for you to bingo on. However, sites such as Bet365 Bingo use both 80 ball and 75 ball bingo variants in different ways. Sometimes you can play both of these bingo games by filling in lines or columns, sometimes one line and a full house, and at times patterns and full houses.

Other bingo variants are also coming into play on some sites. Many have introduced playing cards to create a game which means you have to bingo using cards rather than numbers. Again Bet365 Bingo has a bingo variant called Joker Jackpot which operates in this way. Another site called JackpotJoy (read review) also uses playing cards for one of their bingo variants called Snap Bingo but also have another game called Monopoly Snap which operates in the same way but uses Monopoly property cards.

These are just a few of the bingo variants on offer by bingo sites and if you really have a look round you will find many others too. So if you thought 90 ball was all that bingo had to offer then think again.
