75 Ball Bingo is hugely popular in the USA and Canada, but it can be found in Europe, as well. Like its name says, the game is played with 75 balls, or better said, 75 numbers, meaning that the bingo operator or online bingo game will call out numbers from 1 to 75.

A 75 ball bingo card consists of 25 fields from which one filed is left blank, meaning the bingo card will contain 24 numbers. The 24 numbers are placed by random on each respective bingo card.

The bingo card is built to form a 5x5 grid, meaning it contains 5 rows and 5 columns. On top of the card you can see the word “BINGO” spelled, which each letter representing a column. Five numbers taken by random from 1 to 15 are assigned under column “B”, 5 from 16-30 under column “I”, 5 from 31-45 under “N”, 5 from 46-60 under column “G”, and 5 from 61-75 under “O”.

When the caller announces the drawn numbers he or she will usually shout the letter of the column associated with the individual number, like, for example, “B4”, “G52” etc. When the numbers get announced, a player needs to mark them on his or her bingo ticket.

In order to win at 75 ball bingo, a player has to discover a winning pattern on his or her bingo card formed from the numbers called out. These winning patterns are previously selected and announced by the bingo room.

75-ball bingo is popular because the game-specific bingo ticket layout gives a lot of room to form distinct winning patterns. 75 ball bingo winning patterns can be horizontal or vertical lines, specific drawings and much more.
