80 ball bingo rules
Traditional bingo is simple: you get a ticket with a random collection of numbers. Depending on the type of bingo game, it can be anywhere from 10 to 20. Knowing how to play 80-ball bingo follows the same concept.
During a game, numbers are drawn randomly, and the first person to match a line or have a full house wins the game. However, players should note that within online bingo, there can potentially be multiple winners.
Some games will have specific prizes, such as a full house before a specific number of balls and other patterns on the ticket, which payout, but all the details of this will be available before you join the game. In traditional, land-based bingo, you would have to call out that you had a full house or a line. In 80 ball bingo, the algorithm and online technology announce the win for you.
How to win in 80 ball bingo
80 ball bingo uses a 4x4 grid, so you can match the lines moving in any direction, including vertically, in a diagonal line, or horizontally across the grid.
Ultimately, the game’s rules are to match a line or get a full house before any of the other players.
There are four sets of 20 numbers, and these groups of 20 are given a primary colour to distinguish them from each other and to help the game progress more efficiently. Each section may have a different colour depending on the game, but the game’s purpose remains the same.
When it comes to how to play 80 ball bingo, a line or pattern will typically pay out less than the top prize of a full house. Which is all 16 numbers on the card.
Occasionally, a line or pattern will be incentivised so that you have a chance to earn more, but the jackpot that players are after is the full house. Technically, you will earn a prize for a line, so this is another way to win.
Although you can play from just 5p at Pink Casino, the prize increases alongside the ticket price. Given that you can buy your tickets weeks in advance, it’s important to check the game's rules before entering to ensure that you're about to play the game that most suits your strategy and style.
What is the difference between 80 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo
As you'd expect, the most significant difference between 80 ball and 90 ball bingo games is the number of balls involved, as this game only has 80 numbers. Mostly, the bingo calls also remain the same.
Whereas 80 ball bingo rules will usually state that you use a 4x4 grid ticket, 90 ball bingo uses a 3x9 ticket formation.
While you still need to aim for a full house in an 80 ball bingo game, horizontal lines pay out more significantly due to their difficulty. However, the basis of the game remains the same.
One line, consisting of five numbers, will be the first target, while two lines cover the full horizontal line of 10 numbers. Depending on the company you play with, there will be slightly different amendments to the prize amounts rewarded for winning within a specific number of balls.
In truth, if you enjoy playing 80 ball bingo, then there's no reason 90 ball shouldn't be up your street either. As with many other casino games, the demand drives the supply whenever there is a successful variation of a popular game, whether it's virtual poker, lightning roulette or 80 ball bingo.
Although these bingo games aren't available 24/7 like some other casino games, by design, it is much better to congregate bingo players together in a small window to ensure the games are more suspenseful.
Due to the success of Pink Casino's bingo designs and implementation, a lot of other online providers now follow suit.
