Online Bingo: How to Play + Best Casinos (2024)

Step 3. The fun part of the game starts here, and a ball machine is going to draw one ball at a time. A player is supposed to cross numbers on the cards that coincide with drawn numbers. In online casinos it is done automatically.

The goal of the game is to get all numbers crossed according to some predetermined patterns. The most well-known pattern is a row.

Please notice, that a ball machine has got 90 balls inside, but only some limited number of them will be drawn (depends on particular Bingo type, but 65 is very common).

After all balls are drawn (65 in our case) the winning will be paid according to pay table.

That’s how completed rows look like after 65 numbers were drawn.

Payouts

Payouts structure can be very different, but often everything comes down to how many rows a player has managed to cross on one card (each card pays separately). The more rows the better prize.

Also it is important to point out that amount of numbers to be drawn affects payouts in a big way. Less numbers a player draws, less chances to get row crossed and less generous payouts as a result (and vice versa).

In our particular example , where a player draws 65 numbers, payouts are:

• Pays 20 to 1: when all 3 rows of a card are crossed

• Pays 2 to 1: when any 2 rows of a card are crossed

• Pays 1 to 1: when any 1 row of a card is crossed

About RTP and House Edge

Online Bingo does not have fixed RTP or House Edge percentage, because of diversity how the game can be implemented by a particular software provider (amount of numbers to be drawn impacts RTP in a big way). And, in that sense, Bingo is similar to online slots, where each slot has its own RTP level.

As for my experience, it is hard to find online Bingo with RTP higher than 95% (or House Edge of 5%) on the market, and it is very common to see these numbers even as low as 80-90% (or House Edge of 10-20%).

Given that, there are thousands of casino games on the market (mostly slots and classic casino games) that provide online casino players with far more lucrative RTP %, than Bingo does. However, if you are a fan of online Bingo, you’d better pick up the game very carefully since they are not equal in terms of RTP.
