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 main style of bingo played in North America. The Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards at Jackpot Cafe have random numbers ranging from 1 to 75. Once the bingo game has begun, the Jackpot Cafe computer will call out (in randomized order) all 75 Bingo balls from a pool of 75 balls.

As the numbers are called automatically during gameplay, you will see the numbers on your bingo card get marked off. If your bingo card has the number that is called, then that number is marked off. The very first player to complete the pre-determined pattern with all of the numbers marked off on their bingo card wins BINGO!
