90 Ball Bingo

Bingo is a game that is simple to play and consumes less time (relatively), but is a good pastime and also a good way to socialize. The objective of Bingo is not to make money, but to spend time and socialize with friends (though no one would object to winning some money). The countries where Bingo is popular are the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and Canada.

90 ball Bingo is the game of choice in the UK and Australia, while the version called 75 ball Bingo is the game of choice in the US and Canada. 90 ball Bingo is simpler than 75 ball Bingo because of the patterns to be filled are simpler, but it is relatively more time consuming.

The version of the game is called 90 ball Bingo because the version is played using balls numbered from 1 to 90. These balls are used to get random numbers, which are then marked off (daubed) on a Bingo card. The Bingo card used for it has 9 vertical columns and 3 horizontal rows. These form 27 squares (9 X 3), but only 15 squares are filled with numbers (naturally between 1 and 90). Only 5 of the nine spaces on each row will be filled with a number.
The game starts by players purchasing Bingo cards and daubing out numbers as they are drawn. The three basic patters to be filled in it are One Line (crossing out one horizontal line), Two Line (crossing out 2 horizontal lines) and Full House. The prizes for each of these patters are increasing with Full House having the maximum prize (because it is the most difficult to achieve).
Single players in 90 ball Bingo can purchase up to 48 Bingo cards at one go. There are also special 6 Bingo card packs which have numbers from 1 to 90 on them (this ensures that the player can daub a number regardless of the ball).
As mentioned, it is immensely popular in the UK and Australia and is a major online activity for women from the ages of 20 to 25 in these countries. Because of its immense popularity, online majors like Yahoo!, MSN and AOL have released internet versions of the game in these countries.
