How To Play 90-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 90-Ball Bingo
90-ball bingo is the most common style of bingo played in the United Kingdom. The Bingo 90 game’s bingo cards at Jackpot Liner have random numbers that range from one to 90. As soon as the bingo game has begun, the Jackpot Liner computer will call out (in randomized order) all 90 Bingo balls from a pool of 90 balls.

When the numbers are automatically called during gameplay, you will watch the numbers get marked off on your bingo card. If your bingo card has the number that is called, then that number is marked off. You’ll get B-I-N-G-O and be eligible to win a prize amount in 90-ball bingo at Jackpot Liner if the pattern on your card matches the pre-determined winning pattern.

The 1st place winner is the player that correctly marks off any horizontal line, the 2nd place winner covers any two line pattern, and the “Full House” winner is the player that covers all 3 lines on the ticket.
