The game of bingo has been popular for over a hundred years and there are many variations of the game. The most popular version of bingo is still 90 ball bingo with the UK and most of Europe playing it.

90 ball bingo consists of ninety balls that are numbered between 1 and 90. The bingo card is set out in three rows or lines and each has five random numbers in it.

90 ball bingo usually has three chance to win, these are 1 line, 2 lines and bingo (also called full house). The game begins with random numbers being called out with each player marking that number off on their bingo card. The first winner is the person who gets all the numbers on one row. The second winner is the first person to match the numbers on two rows. The main prize goes to the first person to match all the numbers on their bingo card; this is called bingo or full house.
