Bingo is a lottery type of game where numbers written on balls are drawn and players have to match them to a set of their numbers. Whoever gets all their numbers daubed first, wins the game.

● Bingo cards can have different amounts of numbers

● Bingo patterns can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal lines, or any other pattern

● The payout depends on how many bingo tickets were sold

Step by step bingo guide

1. Buy bingo card(s)
2. Wait for the game to start
3. As numbers are announced the computer will mark them off for you
4. If you are the first to mark all the numbers off you win
5. Buy another card and start another game

Often, there are certain patterns you will have to mark off on your bingo card instead of marking off all the numbers on the card. There are hundreds of bingo patterns. They can be anything from a simple horizontal line to a letter or any sort of pattern. Here we will explain some of the most common ones that you will often come across in online bingo rooms.

Bingo is a game of chance and no skills or decisions can influence the outcome of the game. All players can decide how many bingo cards to buy, which games to participate in, and if they should place any side bets. Two main factors influence bingo odds – the number of cards in play and the number of balls drawn.

Bingo has quite a high house edge (just like all lottery-type games). The house edge is about 10% in bingo. Different variations of bingo will give players different odds. In the table below you can see the different house edge figures and odds for different bingo games.

When you get a match deposit bonus as part of a welcome bonus, check if playing bingo counts towards wagering. Some casinos don’t count bingo towards wagering or only count it as 10%. So if your objective is to play bingo with bonus money, check out the terms and conditions before accepting the bonus. Also, not all casinos offer bingo games. If you want to play bingo choose a casino from our list on this page.

Bingo is not a game of strategy (unlike poker or blackjack). Numbers are drawn and every one of them has an equal chance of being drawn. However, according to statisticians, over thousands or millions of draws, we should see a pattern and should be able to give a prediction about what numbers are likely to be drawn next.

There are quite a few variants of the bingo game and new ones are created every so often. Below we list the most common types of bingo.
