How To Play 75-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 75-Ball Bingo
75-ball bingo is a variation of 90-ball bingo and is the usual style of bingo played in North America. The Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards at Bingo Cafe have random numbers ranging from 1 through 75. Once the bingo game has started, the Bingo Cafe computer will call out all 75 Bingo balls – in random order – from a pool of 75 balls.

As the numbers are automatically called during the game, you’ll see the numbers get marked off on your bingo card. If the number that is called is on your bingo card, then that number is marked off. The very first player to complete the pre-determined pattern with all of the numbers marked off on their bingo card wins the game!
