How To Play 90-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 90-Ball Bingo
90-ball bingo is the dominant style of bingo played in the UK. At Jackpot Liner, the Bingo 90 game’s bingo cards have random numbers that range from 1 through 90. Once the bingo game commences, the Jackpot Liner computer will call out all 90 Bingo balls – at random – from a pool of 90 balls.
