How to play 75 Ball Bingo

In 75 Ball bingo, numbers are randomly chosen from a drum and announced by the Bingo caller.

The objective of the game is to complete a pattern on the card. The Bingo caller can decide what pattern will win the games. The basic pattern is a line either across, down or diagonal on the card.

However, it is possible to have longer games requiring all numbers (full house), a diagonal cross (both diagonals lines) or a cross (the line through the middle across and down lines). Another common winning pattern is the four corners.

The game could also have multiple winning patterns that could be a combination of some of the patterns above.

As soon as you have matched a winning pattern, you shout “Bingo” and the caller reviews your card and confirms the win.

To play Bingo each player has a card with a 5X5 grid of numbers. The middle square has “FREE” in it and is called the free square. If you create a row, column or diagonal using the free square you need 4 numbers otherwise you need 5.
