How to Play
Playing Sky Bingo is exciting and easy. First you buy tickets for the game, and then once the game starts numbers between 1 and either 90, 80 or 75 are called out randomly. When a number that's called matches one on your ticket, it's marked off. All tickets must be bought before the 10 second countdown to a game starts.
Tickets & Strips
A ticket is an individual grid made up of a varying amount of rows and columns dependent on the game type selected. For example, in 90 ball bingo, a ticket is an individual grid of 27 squares made up of 3 rows and 9 columns. Each row contains 5 numbers and 4 blank squares. 15 numbers appear on every ticket.
A strip is a group of 'x' amount of tickets dependent on the game type. Every possible number from the game type will appear on each full strip. For example, in 90 Ball Bingo, every possible number from 1 through to 90 will appear on each full strip of 6 tickets.
How to purchase tickets
- To participate in a game of bingo you must ''select'' and ''confirm'' purchase of your tickets.
- The strips of tickets are displayed in the ''Ticket Area'' of the bingo window.
- You purchase your tickets through the ''Ticket Purchaser'' pop-up window, which can be seen below...
The pop-up above shows the countdown time to when ticket sales close so you know how much time you have to buy your tickets. Ticket purchase for the next game closes 20 seconds before the next game begins.
How to Win
Dependent on the variant, there are numerous ways to win in a game of Bingo:
- Be the first to mark 'x' number of line(s) (Regular/90 ball, 80 ball, 75 ball & 75 ball bingo games)
- Be the first to mark all 4 corners (80 Ball Bingo only)
- Be the first to mark 4 middle squares (80 Ball Bingo only)
- Be the first to mark off a preset 'pattern' (75 Ball Pattern Bingo only)
- Be the first to get House i.e. mark off all numbers on a ticket (all Bingo game types)
Explanations of these are given below:
'x' number of Lines
Your ticket is split into a number of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines, dependent on the game type selected. Each line will have an equal amount of numbers on each and to win the 'x' line part of the game you must be the first to match all of the numbers on one or more of your lines with the numbers called out.
4 Corners (80 Ball Bingo Only)
Win the 4 corners prize by marking off the 4 numbers in the top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners of your ticket.
Middle Squares (80 Ball Bingo Only)
Win the 4 middle squares prize by marking off the 4 middle squares in your 4 x 4 numbered ticket.
Preset Pattern (75 Ball Pattern Bingo only)
Win this prize by being the first player to mark off the numbers in a predetermined pattern, e.g. an X shape across the ticket.
House
Win the House by matching all the numbers on one of your tickets with the numbers called out. You've got to be the first player to do this to win. 'House' is also known as 'Bingo'.
Please note that certain House prizes are community-based. These will mean jackpots may be distributed to differing percentages of the players taking part.
Useful Info
If you're a winner, but don't mark your card as you're going along, you'll still win the prize as the game will automatically recognise that you've won.
If more than one player meets the winning criteria at the same time, the prize will be split equally amongst the winners.
Winnings are paid directly into the winner's account.
