What's the difference between 75 and 90 ball bingo

The game of Bingo usually comes in two "flavours" - 75 ball and 90 ball. 75 Ball bingo is commonly played in the US with 90 ball Bingo more common in The UK and Europe.

Most Online Bingo Sites offer the 90 ball bingo with some offering both. The main advantage of 90 ball bing is the payout is usually higher. The oject of both games is to match the selected numbers with the numbers on your bingo card. The person who completes the pattern first gets the game prize in 75 ball bingo. As well as a prize for the pattern each game also has a number called the balls to jackpot number, if the winner gets the pattern within the number of balls stipulated in this number, the winner gets the jackpot which is usually a progressive total.

In 90 ball Bingo there are up to three possible wins per game and generally higher prizes. So each game results in three prizes plus a progressive total prize fund.
