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 typical form of bingo played in North America. The Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards at Bingo Cafe have random numbers ranging from 1 to 75. Once the bingo game commences, the Bingo Cafe computer will call out all 75 Bingo balls – from a pool of 75 balls – at random.
