How To Play 75-Ball Bingo

Overview: How To Play 75-Ball Bingo
75-ball bingo is a variation of 90-ball bingo and is the dominant form of bingo played in North America. The Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards at Jackpot Cafe have random numbers that range from 1 through 75. As soon as the bingo game has begun, the Jackpot Cafe computer will call out all 75 Bingo balls – in random order – from a pool of 75 balls.

You will see the numbers get marked off on your bingo card as the numbers are automatically called during the game. If the number that is called is on your bingo card, then that number is marked off. The first player to complete the pre-determined pattern with all of the numbers marked off on their bingo card wins B-I-N-G-O!
