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 form of bingo played in North America. At Bingo Cafe, the Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards have random numbers ranging from 1 to 75. As soon as the bingo game commences, the Bingo Cafe computer will call out all 75 balls (from a pool of 75 balls) at random.

As the numbers are automatically called during the game, you will watch 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 predetermined pattern on their bingo card – with all of the numbers marked off - wins bingo!
