How to play 90 Ball Bingo
•
The aim of 90 ball online Bingo games is: mark the
numbers to achieve the pattern, and then you have
bingo.
• A 90-ball bingo game is normally played
in three stages.
• Stage 1 - One Line - The first player to
correctly cross off any horizontal line wins a One
Line prize. See Figure 1 below.
• Stage 2 - Two Lines - The first player to
correctly cross off any two horizontal lines wins
a Two Lines prize. See Figure 2 below.
• Stage 3 - Full House- The first player to
correctly cross off all three horizontal lines wins
a Full House prize. See Figure 3 below.

• 90 Ball Bingo cards have 3 horizontal lines
and 9 columns. Each line contains five numbers;
therefore each card totals 15 numbers. The first
column contains numbers from 1-10, the second column
from 11-20, and so on until the final column which
contains numbers from 81-90.
•Once
the game has begun you can watch as the numbers
are automatically called and marked off on your
cards. The computer will call out in random order
all Bingo balls. If a user’s card contains
the called number, that number is marked off.
• Your cards that are displayed on the top
right hand of the screen will automatically change
from: 3 to go, 2 to go, 1 to go, until 0 to go.See
figure 4 below.
• If you have 0 to go, you then get Bingo
and win the game. A window will then pop up saying
that you were the winner of that game and on which
pattern you won on. In the example below the payer
won on the One Line pattern. See figure
5 below.
B- Buying Cards: (Refer to Fig 1-# 1 &
2)
• While a game is being played, a player can
buy bingo cards for the next game. If a player sits
down at the table in between games a timer (see
Figure 6 below) will indicate the time to the next
game. To join a game a player needs to have enough
money to buy cards for the game. The money is first
deducted from the player’s real account, and
if no real money is available, then the remainder
is deducted from the bonus bucks account.
• To purchase bingo cards, select the number
of cards you want to play. The number of cards to
buy can be adjusted by clicking the 6, 12, 24, 48,
60 and MAX buttons .You can then optionally increase/decrease
the amount of cards to buy by clicking the “<”
and “>” buttons. See Figure
7 below
• Once you have chosen the number of cards
that you would like to buy click on the ‘BUY
NOW’ button to buy cards for the next bingo
game. The card prices will vary from game to game
depending on which Bingo room you are in.
• If both “real” and “bonus
bucks” accounts have insufficient funds, the
player won’t be able to join the game and
he/she will be asked if he/she wants to purchase
additional credits. Each game has a minimum and
maximum allowable number of cards. To qualify for
a game the player has to buy at least the minimum,
and not more than the maximum allowable number of
cards.
• Auto play button- If you want to leave your
PC, and still be included in the next game you can
tick the auto play box. You will be prompted to
enter an amount of cards to purchase for each possible
card denomination. Once you have chosen the amount
of cards that you would like to buy you click on
the ‘Buy Cards’ button. See
Figure 8 below.
• Total purchase amount -The total amount
that you purchased for that specific game will be
displayed next to “This Purchase” see
diagram below.
•
C- Current Game Info: (Refer to Fig 1-# 3)
This
is the information on the current 90 Ball Bingo game
that is being played.
• In 90 Ball Bingo you will be eligible to win the
prize if you get Bingo on any of the following 3 patterns:
One Line, Two Lines and Full House.
• The prize amount depends on the number of players
participating in the game and the number of cards
purchased.
• If a player gets Bingo on the One Line pattern,
the player will be credited accordingly with the One
Line prize .The One Line prize will then be greyed
out, meaning that the prize has been won. Players
are then allowed to play for the Two Lines prize and
once that has been won the Full House prize becomes
available.
• Jackpot : All games are played for a Jackpot.
The Jackpot is won by the first player to achieves
bingo within a certain predefined “number of balls”
If there is no winner of the jackpot in a certain
game the jackpot is rolled over the next game. Jackpots
are site specific and can thus only be won by players
within that specific site. Jackpots can be changed
and can vary according to hours of play and patterns.
If the jackpot is won it will automatically reset
back to the minimum jackpot amount that is set for
that hour. If the jackpot is won by a non qualified
player (Player who has not made a first deposit)
the jackpot amount won will then be added back to
the next Jackpot.
• MegaVault : The MegaVault is a Progressive Jackpot
and varies proportionally to the card price played.
It is played across all participating Leapfrog Gaming
sites, and so it is possible for the jackpot to
be won at another participating site. The starting
value for this jackpot is £10,000 for a £1 card,
and therefore £1,000 for a 10p card, etc.
The MegaVault Prize can only be won when a Full
House pattern is playing. If there is going to be
a Full House playing then a little ‘i’ will appear
below the MegaVault meter. See Figure 9 below. If
you click on the little ‘i', a pop up window will
appear on your screen, which specifies the number
of cards required to be eligible for the MegaVault
jackpot: See Figure 10 below.
The MegaVault is funded at a rate of 1% of bingo
wagering. In the unlikely event that a MegaVault
prize is won at two participating sites at very
close to the same time, then the jackpot amount
displayed may not have had sufficient time to correctly
reflect the initial win. In this case, the first
player to hit the jackpot will get be awarded the
progressive jackpot and the second player to hit
the jackpot will be awarded the starting value as
stated above.
Where the progressive jackpot is won (i.e. the specified number of balls to Bonanza / MegaVault is achieved) during a bingo game, then the regular jackpot is carried forward to the next bingo game. In other words, the regular jackpot is not won during the same game where a progressive jackpot has been won.
• See the Figure below. In the example below the
One Line prize is greyed out.
• Information on the number of Balls to Jackpot
– All 90 Ball Bingo games have a Jackpot that is won
if a player gets bingo within the specified number
of balls. In the figure below the number of balls
required to win the jackpot is 42.
• Information on the number of Balls to Megavault
– Certain 90 Ball Bingo games have a Progressive Jackpot
that is won if a player gets bingo within the specified
number of balls

• Card price - Each game can have a different
price per card set. Price denominations can vary
from game to game. Some games may offer free cards
on a preset buy-in ratio.
• The total amount of players – This
will vary from game to game depending on how many
players are participating in that particular bingo
game.For example in the figure below, a total of
7 players participated in that game.
• The total cards – These are the total
amount of cards that you have bought for a specific
Bingo game and will be displayed next to total cards.
For example in the figure below, a total of 0 cards
were purchased.
• Mini Games- If there is going to be a mini
game in the next bingo game, the name and type of
Mini game will appear next to the line reading mini
game. For example in the figure below there is no
mini game as it says “none” next to
mini game. Mini games vary is type and are all explained
by clicking on the small blue “i” on
the screen.
• Bonus cards- The number of bonus cards will
be displayed in the next game section only and will
vary from Game to Game. If for example next to ‘’bonus
card’’ you will see 6:3.This simply
means that in the next game you can buy 6 cards
and get 3 free. There may be games when there are
no Bonus Cards and in that case it will say ‘’none’,
as can be seen in the example in Figure
10 below.

• Impact of Disconnection
Once a player has purchased cards for a
game, then no further game interaction is required
from the player to complete that game. Thus, in
the event of a player being disconnected, the game
will be completed without a player's presence, and
all winnings will be credited to the player's account.
If a player has purchased cards for the subsequent
game and that game had not yet started at the time
of disconnection, then the player will not be included
in the subsequent game and any monies deducted for
that game will be refunded.
Please note that if a player is disconnected while
playing a currently active bingo game, then the
player will only be able to log in again after that
game has completed.
