Hailed as an option for those who feel 75 Ball Bingo is just not enough and 90 Ball Bingo is a little more than they can chew, 80 Ball Bingo offers up the alternative game that can service the appetite of those who are looking for something a little different. And, like all bingo games, it is great fun and real easy to learn.

Much like 75 ball bingo, 80 ball bingo requires winning numbers to be marked off in a specific pattern to win the game. This pattern is predetermined before each game and can be anything from a chessboard style to a letter of the alphabet, a heart shape or a numerical digit. In fact, the number of patterns which can be made are almost limitless.

The difference between the 80 ball version and the 75 ball version lies in the card that lies in front of you. Each card in 75 ball bingo is five columns across and five columns down, whereas 80 ball bingo utilises a card which contains four columns across and four columns down. 

The first vertical column on your card is coloured red, the second column is coloured yellow, the third is blue, and the fourth and final column is coloured silver. These colours are often used as a way to select a winning line of numbers to be marked off.

Once again, a rotating tombola, or a random number generator if you are playing online, is used to select the drawn numbers. 

Since the card is a completely square grid, symmetrical patterns are easier to choose and come up more often in the game, as well as the challenging all four corners of the card, and the ever popular coverall in which all boxes must be marked from the card.

Because 80 ball bingo offers so many variations, each game can be different and provide you with endless variety. Just remember that bingo is based on luck and that you won’t win all the time, so make sure you stay within comfortable gambling limits. 

However, bingo is a great way to unwind and the huge variety of games available online make this a fun and simple way to spend your time.
