90 Number Bingo Game Notes
Following are some resources for 90 number bingo games. 90 ball bingo is the European alternative to standard North American 75 ball bingo. In fact, this version of the game is the most popular version in the world, as it is played most often everywhere but in North America. 90 ball bingo is also called “housie” or 90 number bingo; here’s a look at some of the game basics.
The cards: In the 90 ball version, the bingo cards (tickets) are arranged in three rows and nine columns. This is different than 75 ball, which is played on cards arranged in five rows and five columns. In each row there are five squares, and there is no free square.
The numbers: 90 ball bingo cards are arranged with the numbers 1 through to 90. The trick is, there are only 15 numbers on each card (five numbers in each row). The other spaces on the card are left empty. As with 75 number bingo, 90 ball has pre-set numbers for each column; 1-10 in the first column and so on.
Winning: Every game of 90 number bingo offers a player multiple chances to win. Wins occur in stages. Once one winner is named in the first stage, the players start the second stage, right up until the final stage. The first stage is the one line win, in which a player needs to mark a complete line across a card.
Two lines is the second stage, where two horizontal lines need to be marked to win. Finally, the full house round (from which the name housie comes from) is won by marking all of the numbers on a card. Full house is similar to the blackout version of 75 ball bingo.
Prizes: Prizes for 90 ball bingo will typically be lower than that for 75 ball bingo because of the multiple winners in each game. Sites and halls don’t want to be handing out enormous pots three times every game, so the losses are calculated accordingly.

90 Ball Bingo Sheet
In any round of 90-ball bingo, each number can only be called once. This is why it’s ‘eyes down’ time. It’s also when a jam-packed, buzzing bingo hall suddenly falls silent. To win, all one-line, two-line and full house winners must shout bingo for it to be valid. Also, cards are usually checked by an independent party before play commences or a new round begins.
Prize structure
You can organise the prizes however you like, but generally the prize value increases with each win:
- 3rd prize: all the numbers on any one-line, on any card.
- 2nd prize: all the numbers on any two-lines, but on the same card.
- 1st prize: all the numbers on one card, equalling a full house.
Because it’s a bit like winning the lottery, some bingo rooms have a special jackpot for anyone who wins all three in one round.

Each 90-ball bingo card design is set out like a grid: 9 columns and 3 rows, totalling 27 boxes. For ease, from left to right, column values increase by values of ten:
- Column 1: numbers 0-9.
- Column 2: numbers 10-19.
- Column 3: numbers 20-29, etc.
- The last being column 9: numbers 80-90.
Each row is what’s referred to as ‘a line’ in one and two-line wins. Some boxes are blank; unlike 75-ball bingo’s wildcard, here they serve no purpose.
