75-ball Bingo
The Game
Each player has a bingo card with 25 squares, 24 of which have a number from one through 75 assigned to them. There are 75 numbered balls. As the numbered balls are called, the corresponding numbers on your card are marked off on your card with a dauber. The first player to mark all the numbers on their card is the winner.
We have a number of different bingo rooms, each with a different theme and chat room. Prices start from 5p per card, depending on the room you are in. You can personalize each room, changing everything from the dauber type and colors to the font size in the chat room. We also provide a ‘Show my best card’ feature.
The bingo card
Each card has a grid of five rows and five columns, with 24 of the squares filled by a number randomly selected from one through 75. There is one free space at the center. Each column has the heading B, I N, G, or O. Each game has a pattern which you need to match in order to win the game. Some game patterns are ‘static’ and some are ‘moving’, giving you more ways to win. To play, you must purchase at least one bingo card per game. You can buy a maximum of 70 bingo cards, unless otherwise stated.
The balls and daubing
The balls used in 75-ball bingo are numbered one through 75. Each one also has a letter:
- Numbers one through 15 have the letter B and are coloured blue
- Numbers 16 through 30 have the letter I and are coloured red
- Numbers 31 through 45 have the letter N and are coloured white
- Numbers 46 through 60 have the letter G and are coloured green
- Numbers 61 through 75 have the letter O and are coloured yellow
When a number is called, the corresponding number on your bingo card will be marked off (or ‘daubed’). This happens automatically, so you’ll never miss a number or a win, even if you’re logged out or not at your PC.
Winning and prizes
The winner is the first player to daub all the numbers on his card. The game winner is announced automatically, and the prize will be added to his game balance.
The prize for each game will vary depending on how many cards have been sold and how many players are in the game. We guarantee a set prize amount in some games. The left section of the game screen (below the game room picture) always displays the current prize information.
In each room, there are special super ‘progressive’ jackpots that can be won at any time on any game if the winning card is completed within a certain number of balls (this number varies for each game). The jackpots increase in value with each card sold.
If more than one player completes their card at the same time, the prize will be shared between the winning card holders.
Prizes are credited to your game balance instantly.
Buying cards
You can buy tickets for a game after a game has ended and before the next game starts while you’re in the game room, or you can buy tickets in advance.
Quick Buy strips
When the next game is about to start the Quick Buy window will appear in the middle of the screen. You can choose one or more strips (a set of six tickets) from the dropdown list, and you can also use any free tickets you have. A pop-up window will confirm your purchase. Your strips will then be shown in the ticket area.
You can access the Quick Buy window at any time before the game starts by clicking on the ‘Quick Buy’ button below the card area.
Choose and buy
To choose your own tickets, exit and browse tickets. You will see a selection of strips to browse. Select a strip by clicking on ‘Strip’ at the top of the strip. You can select an individual card by clicking on ‘Avibl’ [n1] at the left of the card. Once you’re happy with your selection, press ‘Buy Selected Tickets’.
Once you are browsing your brought tickets, view more available tickets by pressing ‘Browse Card Choice’.
Advance Buy functionality in Bingo System
Buy tickets in advance to make sure you don't miss any games. There are two
ways to advance buy for any bingo game.
Click on 'Advance Buy' in the top-left menu of the game room.
Then choose;
1. Advance Buy - Games:
Decide when you want to advance buy for, e.g.: hour and date. Then decide with how many tickets you want to play with for each chosen game. Once you've made your choice, click on 'Confirm and Buy'. You are then given the option to pay in cash or Five Play Points. The price of your selection will automatically be deducted from your balance. If you have purchased more than the maximum number of tickets, or if a game is re-scheduled, you will be refunded when the game has started.
2. Advance Buy - Jackpots
A screen will appear showing which Jackpots are available for the current date (showing at the top of the screen). By clicking on the date, this option additionally helps you to view and buy jackpots up to four weeks in advance. All JP's clearly showing their name, time, date and value. You can also check on previous advance purchases made for any still listed Jackpots.
Things couldn't be any easier, simply enter the amount of cards you would like to play for the chosen Jackpot game and click save at the bottom of the screen. Your account will automatically be debited. There are no options to use Five Play Points in Jackpot Advance buy.
When a game has started, the system automatically checks if there are any advance buys purchased for that session. If you have purchased cards in advance buy (games or jackpots) those cards are picked up and will show at the end of the game.
- When advance buying for a game or Jackpot where the card price may vary
(penny special, early bird etc), the system will automatically charge the
standard price but will refund the difference once the game has ended.
- 90 cards advance bought at 5p per ticket but this session is a special at half price, the player will be automatically refunded with the outstanding funds at the end of the game.
- 30 cards advance bought at 5p per ticket but this session is a special at half price, 60 cards will play.
- Should the ticket price be more than the committed amount during advance
buy, the number of cards played will be less.
- 30 cards advance bought at 5p per ticket but this session is 10p per ticket, 15 cards will play.
If for some reason the servers are down and advance buy cards are not played, the system will be refunded.
