How 90-ball bingo works
90-ball bingo is the traditional game in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Each ticket has 3 rows and 9 columns. Every row has exactly 5 numbers, so a ticket holds 15 numbers. The first column has 1 to 9, the second 10 to 19, and so on up to 80 to 90 in the last column.
A game is usually played for three prizes in a row:
- One line: any full row of five numbers.
- Two lines: any two full rows on the same ticket.
- Full house: all 15 numbers.
Traditional bingo calls
Turn on Traditional call names in the settings and the caller says the classic rhyme before every number, like "Kelly's eye, number one" or "Two fat ladies, eight and eight, 88". See thefull list of bingo call names from 1 to 90.
Run a UK bingo night
Put the caller on a TV, then either hand out printed 90-ball tickets orhost a live game so everyone gets tickets on their phone. Live games check every claim instantly and move through one line, two lines and full house for you.
