When it comes to online bingo, players essentially have the choice of 75 ball or 90 ball bingo, although some sites do offer other varieties. 75 ball bingo is usually considered the North American bingo of choice while 90 ball is the European preference but, as with many things that become web based, the boundaries are becoming more and more blurred.

The 75 ball bingo card is split into a grid of 5 squares by 5 with the middle square being a free square. While 90 ball bingo usually offers 3 opportunities to win on a single card, 75 ball only offers one. A pattern is called before the game begins and the first person or persons to cover that pattern on their card is the winner.

90 ball bingo is played with cards of 9 rows of 3 columns with 15 squares of the 27 containing numbers. Prizes are usually awarded to the first person or persons to complete one line, another prize for the first to complete any two lines on a single card, and the big jackpot is given to the first to cover an entire card – this is also known as a full house.

Personal preference dictates the type of game people usually play. 75 ball bingo is sometimes preferred because each game is usually quicker although a lot of the big progressive jackpots are offered on 90 ball bingo.
