Winning a prize

There are 3 prizes that can be won in each bingo game – 1 line, 2 lines and House or Bingo. You are a winner if your ticket is the first to meet the following criteria:

* 1 line win – when all the numbers displayed in a horizontal line on a ticket have been called

* 2 line win – when all the numbers displayed on 2 lines of 1 ticket have been called

* House or Bingo – all the numbers displayed on one ticket have been called

If you are a winner you will receive the current prize regardless of whether or not you have marked all the winning numbers as the bingo game will automatically identify a win.

Winners will be visibly published in bingo and the Bingo Caller will make an announcement.

More than one player can win any prize where the criteria is met on exactly the same ball. In such circumstances the cash prize will be split in equal proportions amongst all the winners. Winnings will be credited directly to the player’s account.

Marking/Dabbing Numbers

Marking the numbers that are called out on your tickets is called ‘dabbing’. By default, the ‘Auto-dab’ functionality will be set to on when a bingo game starts, indicated by the toggle button next to the ‘Auto-dab’ option at the top of the ticket area in green.

This means that when the numbers are called out in the game they will automatically be marked off on your tickets.

If you wish to switch this option off and go to Manual Dabbing, you can do so by changing the toggle button to red at any point in the game.

If you miss a number on a winning ticket whilst using manual dabbing you will not miss out on your prize as the game will still recognise your winning ticket.

Strip and Ticket sorting

Tickets can be automatically sorted by either strips or tickets to highlight any that are nearest to winning the current prize.

During the game at any point you have the option to choose whether or not you want to have the bingo application automatically display or sort your tickets/strips to put those with the best chance of winning nearest the top.

By default this feature will be set to ‘On’ when a game starts. Click on the relevant toggle button next to your preferred option to move between the sorting options. The toggle button will be green when an option is on and red when it is off. Please note that if using the sorting feature then the ‘Auto-dab’ feature will automatically be switched to on.

Numbers to go to win – 3 To Go, 2 To Go, 1 To Go, etc

During a game of bingo, the right hand side of each ticket displays the number of balls needed to win the current prize, and the tickets are colour coded depending on how many balls there are to go. Tickets change colour when there are 5 or less numbers needed on a card to win a current prize, for example:

75 Ball Bingo

In the 75 Ball Pattern Bingo game numbers between 1 and 75 are called out randomly by our random number generator. The numbers called are marked on the tickets you have bought when playing with auto dab feature enabled.

There are 4 different prizes types available and will occur in various combinations (these will be displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen before the start of the game) these include; 1 line or sub-pattern, pattern 2 and Coverall/Full House. The player who is the first to have all the numbers called displayed in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line on their ticket wins the 1 line prize.

The player who is the first to have all the numbers marked off the pattern/s is the winner of the pattern 1/pattern 2 prize.

To claim the full house/coverall the player must have all the numbered squares called on a ticket.

The game ends when a player has claimed the last available prize in that game, or when all 75 numbers have been called.

There are 3 types of pattern played in a pattern game, they include; static, wild and crazy.

A static pattern can only be won by a player marking off the pattern on their ticket in the same way it is clearly displayed on the screen (There is only one position of the pattern).

A wild pattern can be won in multiple ways on the bingo ticket but CANNOT be rotated (There are several ways of achieving the pattern on the ticket).

A crazy pattern can be won anywhere on the ticket and can be rotated to achieve this.

In a game of 75 Ball Bingo a ticket is an individual grid of 25 squares made up of 5 rows and 5 columns.

In a game of 75 Ball Bingo a strip is a group of 3 tickets. Every possible number from 1 through to 75 will appear on each full strip apart from 3 as there are three free squares.

You may purchase a total of 24 strips for each bingo game, totaling 72 tickets!
