90-ball and 75-ball games: How to choose the right game for your friends

At Jackpotjoy, we're proud to offer the most popular types of bingo: 90-ball and 75-ball. Each has its own unique charm, making them perfect for different kinds of players. Let's take a closer look: 

90-Ball Bingo:

This is the classic version of bingo, and it's a firm favourite for many. Played with bingo cards that have 15 numbers arranged across three rows, there are three ways to win: completing one line, two lines, or a full house. It's a straightforward game with plenty of opportunities to cheer on your mates or share a laugh if someone's just one number away.

75-Ball Bingo:

If your group is looking for a bit more variety, 75-ball bingo might be your cup of tea. This version uses a single ticket with a 5x5 grid of numbers, and the goal is to complete specific patterns, such as lines, shapes, or even more elaborate designs. It's fast-paced and keeps you on your toes, making every game a fresh challenge. 

Both games are easy to play and perfect for a fun-filled evening with friends. Whether your friends prefer the traditional feel of 90-ball or the creative twist of 75-ball, Jackpotjoy has you covered.
