Playing Bingo The U.K. Way

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 26th, 2010

Millions people love to play bingo in the United Kingdom. Millions of UK pounds are given out as prize winnings in these bingo games each year. There are currently two types of bingo played in the UK which are the online bingo games and the live bingo games which are held in bingo halls all across the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom version of brain-dead uses a number system with numbers which are between one and ninety. While people in the United States play bingo with bingo cards those bingo players in the United Kingdom use tickets instead of cards. These tickets have nine columns and three rows.

Each ticket has 15 numbers with five numbers being in each row. The State hits may be purchased in books for players to play bingo. Once a player has bought one of these books for a game they will find that they have six tickets which will incidentally cover all of the 90 numbers available. A session of bingo will usually last about an hour and will contain up to eight games played per session. When players purchase their books they must ensure they have enough tickets to last and entire session.

Of the course the point of bingo is that it is a fun way to win money. To win a game of United Kingdom bingo you must do one of three things.

One way to win is to get all five numbers listed in their first and second lines. Another way that players can win is to get all five of the numbers which are listed in the first row on the ticket. And finally, players who manage to get all of the numbers which are in the three lines will win with what is called a full house.

Instead of calling out the word bingo when a player has completed a winning ticket, the player must yell out house to alert everyone that they have won and to claim their prize. In the event one player gets all five of the numbers found on the first row of his card, the game will be paused, and the player will verify his numbers with the caller, then his card will be put up on the screen for all other players to see. Game play then proceeds until three lines on the same card have been claimed and validated.
