A fairly recent introduction to the bingo games offered online is 80 ball bingo. The 80 ball game is much quicker than the more traditional 75 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo games, and this has lead to a rise in its popularity with quite a few online bingo rooms offering it. As far as I know this game is offered online only, although it does resemble some forms of fairground bingo games. For more about how to play 80 ball bingo read below.

In this article we look at the specific game of 90 ball bingo. This is the game common to the UK (and Aus and NZ) and used to be called 'housey housey' (see the history of 90 ball bingo) If you are used to playing bingo in the UK in bingo clubs and halls this is probably the form of the game you have met. The aim, as always in bingo, is to make the pattern(s) before anyone else does as the numbers are called out. See introduction to playing bingo for a general introduction to Bingo and some things common to the variants of the game. Read about how to play 90 ball bingo below.
