80 Ball Bingo Game

The 80-Ball Bingo Grid

The grid is a 4×4 square and contains sixteen numbers. There are four columns, and the numbers are divided between them. Each column has a different color as follows; Red, Yellow, Blue and White.

• The first column is a red color, and contains numbers from 1 to 20.
• The second column is a yellow color, and contains numbers from 21 to 40.
• The third column is a blue color, and contains numbers from 41 to 60.
• The fourth and last column is a white color, and contains numbers from 61 to 80.

The Procedure Of The Game

All tickets that you buy, will have an ID number at the bottom of each ticket/board. This number is there, so that it is recognized by the electronic computer when a player wins at online bingo. Once you have bought your tickets and the game has begun; the caller will announce the color before the actual number.

For example: White 72, Blue 48, etc. If you’re playing in a bingo hall, then you will have to mark your numbers by closing the shutter boards. If however, you’re playing the online version, then the shutter boards will automatically close all of the windows that are on your 80-ball bingo board. The shutters will only close when you have a winning number, that the caller has announced.

Some versions of the game payout cash to the first completed line. This is based on the numbers that have been announced. There are some other prized lines available, such like; 2 Lines and 3 lines, but the highest cash amount paid out would go to the full house winner. A full house winner is someone who gets all 4 lines, which is all sixteen numbers on their ticket/board.

How An 80-Ball Bingo Ticket/Board Looks

As you can see in the 80-ball bingo example above, the player is waiting on 2tg to win the top line/row across prize. But there are many ways this version of this bingo game can be played, but it’s mainly played as 1 line, 2 lines, 3 lines followed by the full house game. I am referring to the game as a ticket, because some bingo sites call them a ticket, but in the bingo halls the game is normally played on boards. So I will call them tickets/boards, so that online players and offline members don’t get confused.

The First Line Prize Explained

To win the first line prize, it’s exactly as it says on the tin, because all players have to do, is be the first player to get any line, this can be horizontally, diagonally or across their ticket/board, and they will win the 1 line cash prize. In the halls they offer the same but they also play for the four corner prize too. You may be wondering what are four corners?
