Bingo 75
Bingo 75 is the U.S.-style bingo format played with 75 possible numbers and a 5×5 card with a free centre space, where players mark matching numbers as they are drawn.
- Number range
- 1–75
- Card layout
- 5×5 grid, 25 squares, centre square free
- Column ranges
- B 1–15, I 16–30, N 31–45, G 46–60, O 61–75 1
Key points
- Each column on the card is assigned a 15-number range, with the letters B-I-N-G-O corresponding to 1–15, 16–30, 31–45, 46–60 and 61–75 respectively.1
- A caller draws numbers at random from the 1–75 pool; a win is called when the marked numbers form the required pattern, commonly a line.1
- The term is synonymous with 75-ball bingo and American bingo, and is distinct from the 90-ball British variant.1
