90 ball bingo

90-Ball Bingo is the bingo game traditionally played in the United Kingdom and Australia. The game is similar to 75-Bingo, where players purchase Cards/Tickets, then mark the numbers that are called and hope to be the first player who correctly completes the winning pattern. Although the basic foundations of the two games are the same there are many differences.

In the 90-Ball Bingo cards have three rows and nine columns. Five squares in each row contain numbers ranging from 1 to 90 and the rest are blank. The winning patterns are always the same and there are usually three patterns in each game.

Each game has three patterns and each of the three patterns has a prize associated with it. The patterns include Single Line Across (Line), Two Lines Across (Two Lines), and Full House. The first player in each case to correctly cross off a horizontal Line; then Two Lines and finally to cross off all the numbers on a Ticket (Full House), would win the corresponding prize for that pattern.

Ticket

In 90-Ball Bingo, each individual face (grid of numbers) is referred to as a Ticket, which is synonymous with cards in 75-Ball Bingo. 90-Ball Bingo Tickets are 3 rows by 9 columns. Each row contains 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces.

Strip

90-Ball Bingo is almost always played with Strips of six Tickets. Each Strip contains all 90 numbers distributed throughout the 6 Tickets in a Dab-All format. If a Strip (6 Tickets) is played in one bingo game then every possible number from 1 -90 is covered and therefore, a number is crossed off at each bingo call.
