A Look at 80-Ball Bingo
What is 80-Ball Bingo?
Basics of 80-Ball Bingo
The first thing you should understand about 80-ball bingo is that the game uses a different card than what’s normally seen. 80-ball bingo has a 4 X 4 card and there are several ways to get BINGO on this card. Here are the ways you can win in 80-ball bingo:
Single Line: You might think that 80-ball bingo wouldn’t include the single line as a way to win since the card is smaller. However, the single line is a way to win in 80-ball bingo and your line can be vertical, horizontal, or even diagonal.
Four Corners: Another common method of winning in bingo that has made its way to the 80-ball version of the game is covering four corners.
Pattern: Much like 75-ball bingo where players can win by making a pattern, 80-ball players can make a pattern to win depending on the card they’re using.
Coverall/Full House: The coverall (75-ball bingo)/full house (90-ball bingo) rule is the same deal that you’ll see in other bingo games. Top prizes in 80-ball bingo are normally awarded to the person who can cover every space on their 4 X 4 card.
Will 80-Ball Bingo became more Common?
As of now, 80-ball bingo is just an offshoot of traditional bingo games. It’s just something different to play as opposed to 75-ball or 90-ball bingo. That’s why it is difficult to say whether or not we will be seeing the eighty ball version become more ingrained into the bingo world. All that is known right now is that 80-ball bingo is extremely fun to play and it adds variety to the bingo world.
