A 90-ball bingo\u00a0game is what we might refer to as a classic here in the UK. It’s\u00a0one of the oldest and most traditional styles of\u00a0bingo to be played\u00a0throughout Britain,\u00a0and it was originally introduced into bingo halls back in the 1960’s.<\/p>\n
It’s also played widely across the globe too, but it still remains the most popular bingo choice amongst us Brits. The basic aim of the game is to mark off numbers on a\u00a0card ranging from 1-90, and there are usually 3 possible chances of a win on each game.<\/p>\n
90-ball games still remain massively popular in bingo\u00a0halls up and down the country,\u00a0but they have also now taken the wonderful world of online bingo by storm too. Even though online bingo offers up so many other bingo variants these days, the classic 90-ball games still appear to be the most popular choice amongst players. With such an established structure and up to 3 chances of a win on each game, what’s not to love about this old faithful.<\/p>\n
You may be surprised to know that the game of\u00a0bingo actually dates\u00a0right back to\u00a0the 1500’s. Yep, I know.\u00a0Seems\u00a0bonkers right but it’s in the history books.<\/p>\n
The first ever exact recordings of bingo are slightly hazy, however we do know that a lottery type game called \u2018Lo Giuoco del Lotto d\u2019Italia\u2019 was played in Italy around 1530.<\/p>\n
It’s unknown as to whether this used a 90-ball format in particular, however we do know that years later in 1778, there were reports of a similar Lotto type game called ‘Le Lotto’ in France.<\/p>\n
This version of the game required players to mark off numbers ranging from 1-90 in some form, and\u00a0from that point\u00a0on\u00a0the 90-ball bingo game was born.<\/p>\n
As mentioned before, 90-ball bingo is hugely popular up and down the UK and always has been.<\/p>\n
Here are a few theories as to perhaps why players keep returning for more:<\/p>\n
Whether you’re playing 90-ball bingo in a bingo hall or online, the general rules will always be the same. Numbers from 1-90 will be called by a caller or generated online, then you will\u00a0mark off the corresponding number on your bingo card.<\/p>\n
Here are\u00a0some of\u00a0the other things that you might need to know along the way:<\/p>\n
90-ball bingo\u00a0cards are generated into strips of 6 tickets, and the numbers 1-90 are then spread across the entire strip.<\/p>\n
It is then up to you the player then as to how many tickets you wish to purchase from a strip.<\/p>\n
You can play bingo with just one ticket from the strip\u00a0of course, but the chances of winning could be higher the more tickets you purchase.<\/p>\n
The following table shows how the numbers are distributed across the strip of 6 bingo tickets:<\/p>\n
