How To Play 90-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 90-Ball Bingo
90-ball bingo is the primary form of bingo played in the United Kingdom. At King Jackpot, the Bingo 90 game’s bingo cards have random numbers that range from 1 through 90. As soon as the bingo game commences, the King Jackpot computer will call out all 90 Bingo balls – from a pool of 90 balls – at random.

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

First place goes to the player that correctly marks off any horizontal line, the second place winner is the player that covers any two line pattern, and the “Full House” winner covers all 3 lines on their card.
