90-Ball Bingo – 90-Number Bingo is the bingo game traditionally played in the United Kingdom and Australia. The game is similar to North American-style 75-Number Bingo, where players purchase cards/tickets, then mark the numbers that are called and hope to be the first player to correctly complete the winning pattern. Although the basic foundations of the two games are the same, there are many differences. In 90-Number Bingo, cards have three rows and nine columns. Five squares in each row contain numbers ranging from 1 to 90, while the rest are blank.

75-Ball Bingo – 75-Ball Bingo is played on cards that have a 5x5 square grid. Each row has five numbers and there are no spaces on the card unlike 90-Ball Bingo. There are various games played with 75-Ball, but we offer the exciting 75-Ball Pattern Bingo. 
The winning patterns are: a) one horizontal line b) one vertical line or c) one diagonal row. Any of these three patterns will get the jackpot prize. The current game pattern being played is highlighted within the Game Stats information window.
All Bingo numbers, 1-75, are displayed on the Call Board. The current Bingo number being called is shown in large font, while the last 6 Bingo calls are displayed at the top of the Call Board. As numbers are called, they light up. The Call Board also indicates the current call number. There are a maximum total of 75 calls that can be made during one game.

We offer a wide selection of Casino and Arcade games which can be accessed from our Games Lobby - two of our most popular games are Keno and Video Poker.
Keno The game of Keno is one of the oldest lottery games, created in China around 200 B.C. Simple and fun, the game has gained a place as one of the most popular lotteries in North America. The objective of the game is to pick 2-10 lucky numbers on your Keno cards and hope to match as many as possible with those dropped by the Ball Blower.

Video Poker is a mixture of poker and slot machines. The aim is to have a better hand than the system. To start the game, click on the Deal button and the machine will offer you 5 cards. You then decide which ones to hold. Simply click the cards you would like to keep, or on the Hold button under each one. You can deselect them by clicking again. Then click on Deal. If you have a stronger hand than the machine, you'll have won the bet. The pot depends on the money you have wagered.
