Similar to other bingo games, the 90-ball bingo is a game of chance. No single strategy can guarantee a win in the game. The best way of securing a win is by picking numbers that end differently. For example, numbers such as 33, 44, and 56 can give you a better chance of victory compared to selecting 33, 43, or 53.

Also, ensure you have an excellent combination of even and odd numbers to increase your chances of winning. Typically, numbers that end differently are more likely to be called out that those with the same ending.

Each row contains nine spaces with five numbers and four blank spaces. Usually, the arrangement of the numbers on the rows is as follows:

  • 1st Row: 1 to 9
  • 2nd Row: 10 to 19
  • 3rd Row: 20 to 29
  • 4th Row: 30 to 39
  • 5th Row: 40 to 49
  • 6th Row: 50 to 59
  • 7th Row: 60 to 69
  • 8th Row: 70 to 79
  • 9th Row: 80 to 90

You should note the rules of the game may vary in the various UK bingo sites. For example, some have skewed distribution of the numbers in the columns.

Others may want the numbers in the columns to follow a numerical order while to others, the order is irrelevant. You will also note in some sites you won’t find any blanks in the rows. Therefore it is vital to confirm the rules in each site before you can start playing the game.

How to Play 90-Ball Bingo

To start playing the game, you need to visit a casino, either land-based or online, and buy Retro bingo cards (tickets). If you’re playing the game in a live hall, the caller will call out the numbers (1-90), each number once till the winner is picked. The same happens online, whereby computer software selects the balls.

Use a dabber to mark a number when it is called out and is in your ticket. For the online game, the computer may auto-dab the numbers, or you can do it manually to make the game more interactive.

To emerge the winner, you have to match the number called out with what is available on your ticket. If you are the winner in the game, you shout ‘bingo”; it will signal the staff in the casino that you’re the person with the winning combination.

In the game, a ticket refers to a single grid of 27 squares with 3 rows and 9 columns. Each row will have 5 numbers and 4 blanks, thus in total, the ticket has 15 numbers.

90-ball bingo consists of one strip, which is a group of six cards. You can buy a maximum of 6 strips for each game, meaning you’ll have a total of 36 tickets. If the game permits, you can purchase additional tickets.

How to Win At Bingo

Interestingly, you can win in any of the three rounds in the game or all. You will become a winner in any line when you match all numbers in the row with what the game caller calls outs. Here is how winning at each line occurs.

  • One- line bingo winner: You must have marked all the numbers (5) in the row as the game caller calls out the numbers.
  • Two-line bingo winner: You must have marked all numbers on two of the three rows in your ticket.
  • Full house winner: You must have marked all the numbers in the three rows on your ticket, a total of 15 numbers. The winner is published visually on the platform. When the winner is announced, the game ends, and a new one starts. You will need a new ticket for the next round.

The Payouts

The number of players in the game and the value of each ticket determine the prize in the game. This means if the game has many players and the price of the tickets is high, the winner will take home a decent prize. In most casinos, the providers set a minimum limit for the prize, no matter the number of participants in the game.

Two or more players in the 90-ball bingo can win the game. This is possible if they have tickets which are in line with the prize criteria. One player can also win more than once; this is if they have tickets in different strips. The prize is directly deposited on the winner’s account.

It’s Friday, and things are slow at the office. To liven things up, you could create bingo cards in Excel, and organize a game during the lunch hour.
In this example, there are three cards, each with a set of random numbers. You’ll need one of those numbered ball popper machines though, or create a number selector in Excel.

Make Lists of Random Numbers

To generate the random numbers, there are three sets of lists on the Numbers sheet. In each set, there are typed numbers 1-75, with the formula =RAND() in the adjacent column.

When you press the F9 key, the sheet recalculates, and those random numbers change.

On the three bingo cards, an INDEX/MATCH formula pulls the numbers from the random number tables.You can read more about the INDEX and MATCH functions on my website.

For example, this formula is used in cell E2:

=INDEX(Numbers!$M$1:$M$15,MATCH(LARGE(
Numbers!$N$1:$N$15,ROW()-1),Numbers!$N$1:$N$15,0))

The same number might appear on all three cards, but each card uses a separate lookup table of random numbers. With all that randomness (is that a word?), the 3 cards should never be exactly the same.

Print the Bingo Cards in Excel

The cards are formatted to print three per sheet, on letter sized paper.
After you print each set of three cards, press the F9 key to generate a new set of numbered cards.
