Print Bingo Cards

With so many options for bingo equipment, we found this article helpful in describing the basics.  While some bingo equipment, like bingo cards, are critical, others are a nice-to-have.  The article includes price ranges for things like bingo balls, bingo cards, daubers, masterboards and more.

Also, if you’re starting up a game, we suggest taking a look at used bingo equipment.  Many bingo suppliers sell refurbished equipment at a great discount, enabling you to get your game started with the option to upgrade later.

Here’s an excerpt:

“In a bingo game, the most important ingredient is the bingo cards. In buying bingo cards, you can go for sheets of paper bingo cards or hard bingo cards. Paper bingo cards have some terms such as 3 on 5 up. That means 5 sheets of paper with 3 bingo cards. The hard bingo cards are more expensive than the paper bingo cards. The good point with hard bingo cards is that it can be used several times without being worn out. On which to which are better for your purposes, that depends on you.

Then we go to bingo balls. These are those things that carry numbers. Bingo balls come in different sizes and price. A set of bingo ball can go from $15 to $250. Purchase one along with your budget and preference. Just make sure that ones you bought fit the cages or bingo blowers perfectly.

Next, we need something to contain our bingo balls: namely the bingo cage. You use a bingo cage in drawing the bingo balls randomly. Some say this is the most costly bingo supply you need to buy. The price ranges for bingo cages are at $60 to $200. Well, if you have a really big, big budget for bingo equipment, you may like bingo ball blowers that cost around a thousand dollars.”

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. (more…)

90 ball bingo has gone from an offline UK favorite to an internet bingo sensation.  Similar to the 75 ball bingo, you win by achieving specific patterns on your bingo cards (also known as tickets).  We found a brief tutorial and here’s an excerpt:

“When you buy a 90 ball bingo card it is marked with a 27 square grid of three rows and nine columns. The grid is marked with 15 random numbers, five in each row, making up a 15 different numbers. When the game begins and the numbers are called you simply mark them off with your dabber if you are in a land-based bingo call. If you aren’t, and you are playing online, they are automatically dabbed for you.”
