80 Ball Bingo

80 Ball bingo is an alternative to the popular 90 ball and 75 ball games which is steadily gaining popularity. 80 ball bingo bridges the gap between the 2 games and in a way encompasses the best features of the other 2 games. In bingo clubs the game is played on plastic shutter boards and the numbers are marked off by closing the slides to cover each number.

The cards for 80 ball bingo are more similar to that of the 75 ball game in that the numbers are in a grid of 4x4 numbers, with each line coloured vertically red, yellow, blue, and white/silver. Games are slightly shorter than in the 90 ball game, and the rules just as varied as the 75 ball game.

Many online bingo halls that offer 80 ball bingo have games where you win when a pattern is completed, and other times you also carry on for the full house. Other games are more like the 90 ball game where you play for one line with the difference being that the line can be completed horizontally or vertically, or diagonally and what makes it more interesting is that completing the four corners or the 4 central numbers in the grid counts as a line as well.

80 ball bingo certainly can be a lot of fun and after all it adds a bit of variety should you get used to or bored with the other types of bingo game. More and more bingo sites are offering 80 ball bingo which is a good development because it gives players increased choice of games.
