Although you can use any amount, traditionally, 90-ball bingo is played using a full strip of cards. Six individual bingo cards make up a strip, with all 90 numbers scattered amongst them. During each round, all 90 balls are called in random order. On any card, you can win by dabbing out all the numbers on one and/or two lines, or by completing an entire card – the iconic full house.

Rules

In any round of 90-ball bingo, each number can only be called once. This is why it’s ‘eyes down’ time. It’s also when a jam-packed, buzzing bingo hall suddenly falls silent. To win, all one-line, two-line and full house winners must shout bingo for it to be valid. Also, cards are usually checked by an independent party before play commences or a new round begins.

Prize structure

You can organise the prizes however you like, but generally the prize value increases with each win:

• 3rd prize: all the numbers on any one-line, on any card.
• 2nd prize: all the numbers on any two-lines, but on the same card.
• 1st prize: all the numbers on one card, equalling a full house.

Because it’s a bit like winning the lottery, some bingo rooms have a special jackpot for anyone who wins all three in one round.

90-ball bingo card design

Each 90-ball bingo card design is set out like a grid: 9 columns and 3 rows, totalling 27 boxes. For ease, from left to right, column values increase by values of ten:

• Column 1: numbers 0-9.
• Column 2: numbers 10-19.
• Column 3: numbers 20-29, etc.
• The last being column 9: numbers 80-90.

Each row is what’s referred to as ‘a line’ in one and two-line wins. Some boxes are blank; unlike 75-ball bingo’s wildcard, here they serve no purpose.

Print 90-ball bingo cards in 3 simple steps

Okay, you’re almost there. It’s time to think about drinks and snacks and locate your best dabbers while your shiny new 90-ball bingo cards print off. Printing should be a breeze, just follow these 3 simple steps.

Tip: using the cards you can see on-screen now, print a test sheet first.

First step: pick a colour

We’ve given you a choice of 7 great rainbow colours to choose from: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark blue, violet. Be sure to check you’ve got enough ink in your print cartridge before you choose one and remember to set your printer to colour. Otherwise, just select black and white.

Second step: set print dimensions

Make sure your printer is set to a standard A4 print format, or portrait size, and formatted in the upright position. These dimensions should already be set by default, but it’s useful to use the print preview function before burning through sheets of paper and wasting playtime.

Third step: create and print

Now you’re ready to roll, using the control panel (underneath colour options), select ‘create new cards’ and then hit ‘print’. You’ll no-doubt be excited, but try wait a few minutes for the print to dry before you grab them. Your friends should be pretty impressed by your bingo card creation, but smudged numbers and dirty finger prints won’t win any prizes.

Bingo Machine 90, aptly named after the classic 90-ball game, is a free bingo machine courtesy of onlinebingo.info. Featuring a built-in caller, this no-frills piece of software might not win any distinguished awards, but the simplicity of minimal design means it’s easy to use. What really counts is it more than serves its purpose: transforming dull evenings into nights of fun and games. Beer, wine and snacks: optional.

Don’t judge a book by its cover: under the hood

One advantage about Bingo Machine 90’s design is that it loads quick and doesn’t use much data, which is great if you’ve got limited internet usage. The clutter-free screen displays modern navigation buttons and all the functions you need to play a riveting game of 90-ball bingo. Play it alone or with friends and family.

How Bingo Machine 90 works

The bingo caller works in the same way any human one does. The main differences being that you can also operate it like any audio or media device; meaning you can do what anyone who’s ever played in a frantic bingo hall wishes they could do: hit the pause button (and gain composure).

Controls during the bingo round

There are 5 buttons to control play: start game, pause, play, next ball, reset board. To the right displays the current call, below is a speed control slider, and at the bottom is a black digital display highlighting called numbers. Just hit play when you’re ready. Next you’ll hear your caller; female with an American accent. If you don’t want her to keep calling, press pause, and use ‘next ball’ to draw numbers manually.

Speed selection for auto-draw

Of course, the beauty about Bingo Machine 90 is the auto-draw function, creating the effect of being at a proper bingo game. Without this, it wouldn’t make the grade. But better still is the speed control, perfect for when you need the world to spin slower, or if you’re feeling mean, you can speed it up and test your bingo rivals, Olympic-style.
