Bingo is a fantastic, fun game. Amongst the bingo games there is land-based bingo, online bingo, 75 ball bingo, 90 Ball Bingo. There are different patterns when you win bingo “horizontal bingo" forms a straight, horizontal line on your bingo card. Five numbers will align horizontally across your bingo card.


75 bingo is American bingo where 75 balls will be played. 90 bingo is British and 90 balls are in use. After the caller has called the number you have a certain time to mark the number on your card.
Players have cards with figures written on them in 5 x 5 grid that corresponds to the 5 letters of the word B-I-N-G-O. Numbers are called at random till one player completes the bingo pattern that might be a vertical, horizontal or diagonal. There are other bingo patterns and rules.

There is normal or static bingo patterns that cannot be moved on the bingo card and are won only when the card is filled. Crazy bing patterns. These bingo cards allow the pattern to be rotated in 90 degrees increments for a winning bingo pattern match. Wild bingo patterns have scattered patterns.


There are several different bingo games played throughout a session. The games vary with the bingo hall, but there are always regular games. In a regular game, you fill your card with a straight-line bingo horizontal, diagonal, or vertical. In most regular games, four corners also counts.

There are many more probably too many to mention.

Thanks for the information. I know that there are a lot of different patterns. I always hated to go to a new place to play and didn't know what they meant by certain patterns.

Yeah there are a lot of patterns and different forms of bingo. I think that once you are used to a certain way of playing bingo the rest is a lot easier. Personally I love playing a game of 90 ball bingo I feel like I win more when I am playing that.

I still forget what certain patterns are. I am just glad for the monitors that show you the actual pattern. There are only a few of them that I forget though.

I like the way it does it automatically. Otherwise I am sure I wouldn't be able to do that and chat at the same time as well.
