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 most popular type of bingo played in North America. At Jet Bingo, the Bingo 75 game’s bingo cards have random numbers ranging from 1 to 75. Once the bingo game starts, the Jet Bingo computer will call out (at random) all 75 Bingo balls from a pool of 75 balls.

You will see the numbers get marked off on your bingo card as the numbers are called automatically during gameplay. 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 bingo!

The first person to score “B-I-N-G-O” within a set number of balls wins the jackpot. In the event nobody wins the jackpot, the jackpot is carried over to the next game.

TIP: Best Time to Play Bingo Games on the Internet
If you’re wondering which days and hours specifically are the best times to play virtual bingo, continue reading…

As far as AM and PM is concerned, playing online bingo games at Jet Bingo at dawn, afternoon, sundown, or bedtime, truly makes no difference at all. Yet, some players at Jet Bingo have stated that their best days to gamble online have been during mid-week, on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, and not at all on Monday’s. With regards to weekends, most are neutral.

Although there is not a thread of genuine proof to back up these observations (on when is the best time to play online bingo), online bingo games providers such as Jet Bingo assure players that playing bingo on the Web on any day, at any time, gives the same odds at winning bingo.

Daubing (or Autoplaying) Your Numbers
Jet Bingo’s bingo rooms allow you to decide whether you would like to let the Jet Bingo computer daub your cards automatically for you or daub your bingo card yourself manually (by mouse-click). Having the system auto-daub for you will make sure you do not miss a number.

You can choose any of the bingo cards you bought at Jet Bingo to play automatically via the “Buy Cards” pop-up display under the “AutoPlay” tab. Simply click the “Turn On” button and then select the cards you would like to have daubed automatically. Also, you can switch off the autodaub feature anytime by removing the checkmark beside the card you selected for autoplay or by clicking the “Turn Off” button. Of course, you will always have the option to switch Autoplay back on whenever you please.

Whether you manually daub your numbers or you let the system autodaub for you, neither option will affect the game result. Should your bingo card be a winner, Jet Bingo will award you the prize and/or jackpot – signed, sealed, delivered!

Chat Whilst Playing Bingo!
Playing bingo at Jet Bingo is not just about playing your cards and counting your chips… It is also about chatting with other similar folks and making new friendships!

That’s why live chat is such a huge aspect of playing games at Jet Bingo. As a matter of fact, chat games go on in every 75-ball bingo room and are moderated by Chat Leaders. To begin a chat, you can easily post a message to the chat board or just the same end a chat via the click of your mouse.

Jet Bingo’s Chat Hosts are always available to chat and provide assistance – all the while keeping things engaging. Just remember to familiarize yourself with a little bingo chat lingo first!

Winning BINGO
If the winning pattern matches the numbers that have been marked off of your bingo card, you will get B-I-N-G-O and win the Jet Bingo game!

At this time, the game will stop and your Jet Bingo username opens up in a display box stating that you are that game’s winner and the amount you’ve won.

All winnings will be then credited to your Jet Bingo account.
