With millions already enthralled, online Bingo continues to make waves in the online gaming world. Since Bingo has gone international, even the traditional Bingo has developed its own variations. In different countries, Bingo is played differently.
Originally with only two basic game plays - 75 Ball Bingo and 90 Ball Bingo, today Bingo is played in many styles on many websites. Some of the most popular styles of the Bingo games are:
Horizontal Bingo
This is a variation of the game where you have to play a single or double horizontal across the Bingo card.
Vertical Bingo
In this variation, a single or double vertical line from top to bottom across your Bingo card can win you the game.
Diagonal Bingo
All you have to do for winning this variation is Bingo a single line going from the bottom left corner of your card to the top right corner, or vice versa. Since there is a free space in between, this game is quick with fewer numbers to cross and hence understandably popular.
Blackout Bingo
The Blackout Bingo is also known as the ‘cover all’. It simply means that all squares on your card have to be marked or crossed in this variation. Since the free space doesn’t count, you have only 24 squares to mark off or daub. Since this is the longest game in all of the Bingo games variations, it is the most exciting and the jackpots are reserved for it.
Pattern Bingo
Usually promoted by the online Bingo websites, the pattern Bingo game can use any pattern of choice. The pattern could be an alphabet, a design, a small word like “HI” etc. This type of Bingo requires skill and is popular among those who like short skill based free online bingo.
