Bingo Rules: US vs UK
The UK is just as fanatical about bingo as we are in the United States. And just as rules and prizes change from one bingo hall to the next, there are differences between the UK and US versions of the game.
We came across an article in BingoMag that lays out the main rules of each. Now wherever you are, you’ll have your game on.
Here’s an excerpt:
“The players can buy a five by five grid card that has the five letters for B-I-N-G-O. In the card, the players will have numbers such as B-2 or O-68 (there are 75 numbers in American Bingo and 90 in UK Bingo and Australian Bingo) The game consist in complete a Bingo pattern. The pattern are: Five numbers in a row (Vertical, Horizontal or diagonal) But there are another types of pattern. (Players should check the brochure)
The Bingo card has twenty-four numbers and a blank space at the middle. The numbers are randomly printed at each card.
In the American version of Bingo the numbers for the B column are between one and fifteen, in the I column between sixteen and thirty, in the N column (which has the blank space) numbers between thirty one and forty five, in the G column, between forty six and sixty, and, finally, the O column, with numbers between sixty one and seventy five.”
