How to Play 80 Ball Bingo Online - 3 Simple Steps

How to play 80 ball bingo

What is 80 ball Bingo? 80-ball Bingo is a variation of the traditional 90 ball game with 10 fewer balls than the popular UK game. It features cards divided into 4x4 grids, leaving one empty square in the center.

The 80 numbers are split into groups of 20, each assigned a distinct color, such as yellow for numbers 21-40 and blue for 41-60. This color coding helps players quickly identify and mark off called numbers.

Step 1: Pre-Buy Your 80-Ball Bingo Tickets

Each ticket features a 4x4 grid, totaling 16 numbers, which vary from 1 to 80. Ticket prices can vary, often reflecting the game's potential jackpot or the pricing strategy of the room and its various advertised prizes. Cashline is a common 80 ball game and usualy has tickets starting at 10p

The 80-Ball Bingo Card

Each card is organized into a 4x4 grid without any free spaces, with each column typically color-coded for easier identification:

  • 1st Column: Numbers 1-20
  • 2nd Column: Numbers 21-40
  • 3rd Column: Numbers 41-60
  • 4th Column: Numbers 61-80

Step 2: Playing 5 Line Bingo

During the game, numbers are drawn randomly from a set of 80. Most games or rooms feature an "auto-dab" function, which automatically marks the numbers on your card.

Step 3: How to Win

The aim in 80-ball bingo is to complete one of the several patterns recognised in the game:

  • Single Line: Any row, column, or diagonal line.
  • Two Lines: Any two lines, which can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
  • Three Lines: Any three lines, can be a combination of horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
  • Full House: Cover all numbers on the card.

Winning combinations can vary from game to game, with each pattern offering different prize levels.
