80 Ball Bingo
Whilst the game of 80 ball bingo has been played in land based venues for decades now, it has only recently become one of the more readily available online bingo games.
The game itself is a fast paced one, and this is due quite simply to the bingo cards having over 16 numbers upon each one. This is of course one more than the 90 ball bingo variant, however the playing structure of 80 ball bingo is different than the latter named one!
The 16 numbers on each and every 80 ball bingo card are printed in a grid, with four sets of four numbers structured on this grid via a 4 line 4 row type of layout. Usually each column contains a set of different colour numbers.
Column one of often contains only Red number, the second column contains Yellow numbers, the third column contains Blue numbers and the final column contains White numbers.
The Red numbers are those from 1 to 20, the Yellow numbers are those from 21 to 40, the Blue numbers are those from 41 to 60 and the White numbers are those from 61 to 80.
Obviously there are only 80 numbers in play on this variant of bingo and as such you will not find any numbers above number 80 in play on the bingo cards or in the bingo ball machine!
