75 Balls bingo and 90 Balls bingo

There are two types of bingo games played around the world:

75 ball bingo is being played in North America on a 5x5 card with the columns labelled B I N G-O and with spots contains numbers between 1 and 75. The centre square typically is a free spot, and often has the word "free" printed on it. Column B contains numbers 1-15. Column I contains numbers 16-30. Column N contains numbers 31-45. Column G contains numbers 46-60. Column O contains numbers 61-75. The desired pattern which players aim to achieve in 75 ball can vary from a simple single line to more complicated themed patterns. The aim of the game, however, is always the same: to mark off the numbers to achieve the desired pattern.

90 ball bingo is being played in the UK, Europe, Australia and South America . In 90-ball bingo each card has three horizontal lines and nine columns. Each line contains five numbers, meaning each card has 15 numbers. The first column contains numbers from 1-10, the second column contains numbers from 11-20, all the way through to the final column which contains numbers from 81-90. A game of 90 ball bingo will normally be played in three stages: one line, two lines and Full House. In a one line game players need to mark a complete horizontal line across one card. The aim of a two lines game is to complete any two marked lines horizontally across one card. Finally a Full House means all the numbers marked off on one card (all 15 numbers), as in a regular coverall game. The prize split differs for each stage of the game. The Full House is always the largest prize in any one game.
