How to Play 80 Ball Bingo

80 Ball bingo is a form of pattern bingo, much like 75 ball bingo can be used for playing pattern games. It is a great game to play if you think that 75 balls is too few and 90 balls are too much or the game is too boring. At one time this game was called shutter-board bingo, as a board with little windows you closed when a number came up was used, and essentially it is fusion of the 75 and 90 ball game.

There are a great many online bingo sites in the UK which offer 80 bingo, and although not all of them offer the game, most do. It is an exciting game which consists of a 16 square grid. This is made up from 4 rows and 4 columns, which creates a rather unique bingo card as each column is a different color, in this order, red yellow, blue and silver. In comparison to 75 ball bingo an extra 5 numbers can be added to this bingo card, and this is what also makes the game so exciting to play.

The rules of the game are very simple, much like any other game of bingo, there are no tricks to playing the game, particularly if you are playing online, as your numbers are daubed automatically. If you were playing 80 ball bingo in a bricks and mortar bingo hall, for faster, more accurate daubing purposes, it is good to know that numbers 1-20 will be found in the first row, 21-40, in the third, 41-59, in the fourth 60-80. Knowing where to find these numbers’, just makes playing the game that little bit easier, particularly if you have a few bingo cards in play.

This version is an ideal choice for the online bingo fan, it offers a wider variety of games, but more and more games are being made available all the time as online bingo recreates itself. So not only do you get pattern or 80 ball bingo, 90 ball, 75 ball, and 30 or speed ball, but guess what, I have just seen a new version - 50 ball bingo!
