How To Play 90-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 90-Ball Bingo
90-ball bingo is the major version of bingo played in the UK. At King Jackpot, the Bingo 90 game’s bingo cards have random numbers that range from one to 90. Once the bingo game has started, the King Jackpot computer will call out (in randomized order) all 90 Bingo balls from a pool of 90 balls.

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

The first place winner is the player that correctly marks off any horizontal line, the 2nd place winner correctly marks off any 2 horizontal lines, and the “Full House” winner is the player that correctly marks off all 3 horizontal lines on their card.
