Online Bingo Games


Online bingo games have evolved and gone through a growth process of their own in the short time that industry has been around. The marriage of a simple game with sophisticated technology has made for a highly profitable industry and millions of players world-wide who can’t get enough of this game. Who would have thought that this would have been possible 20 years ago. Admittedly computers where becoming a big deal already, but online bingo games as the one of the biggest internet supply and demand businesses? No-one expected that!

Today we find bingo sites which offer these games and keep them standard, while others go out on a limb to offer variety. They give players 90 ball bingo which is the traditional UK favoured variety. This is played with a 3 row, 10 column grid card and there are three opportunities to win. The first prize is the full house and this comes last. The winner on one line – which means crossing off the numbers in one row, wins the smallest prize, two lines wins the next prize and the full house means all the numbers on the card have been completed. A typical £300 prize pool fir example could be split as to £25 for the one line, £75 for two lines and £200 for the full house. The Spanish variant of this game or two way bingo only allows for a one line win and a full house and this generally means the prizes are bigger. Online bingo games have become so sophisticated that even 1TG and 2TG prizes are given away in 90 ball bingo today, meaning even more of a prize split.

This offers a winning opportunity to more players, and let’s face facts, no matter how much fun playing online bingo games is, we all like to win every now and then. The more winners there are, the happier we all are. Both 75 ball and 80 ball online bingo games are pattern games, and the 75 ball variety is most popularly played in the US. There is also a more anglicised version of this game available. These games are played on a 5 row by 5 column grid bingo card and this is what makes them so much more adaptable to pattern play. Gnerally speaking the first person to complete the pattern in the grid is the full house winner, with only one winner per game.

Some online bingo games innovations include combining bingo with games shows as in the Deal or No Deal and Price is Right versions. Some games, the ball calls have been changed to create speed bingo, which is 30 ball bingo.
