Some Different Types Of Online Bingo To Play
Out of all the popular online games being played today, online bingo may be the most interesting as well as the easiest to play. It suits beginners and pros equally well. When you play online bingo, you have to take quick decisions and instant moves, and this adds to the excitement of the game. Different types of online bingo games are played, and a person new to the scene may well feel confused by them. Below, we have given descriptions of different types of online bingo games, along with some tips.
The easiest bingo variant is Cover All. In this type of online bingo game all that is required of you to win is to be the first player to get all the numbers marked in your card. For a Cover All bingo game, purchasing one ticket is as good as purchasing two or more, since there is no way you can determine which numbers will get called out first.
Compared to the other types of online bingo games, the jackpot is usually higher in a Cover All game. But the catch here is that all numbers in your card have to get marked before the forty first number is drawn; the jackpot prize is greatly reduced after this.
Another version of online bingo is Regular, which you can win in three ways, which is to have your numbers marked in a horizontal, a vertical or in a diagonal row. Numbers marked in any of these three directions will win you the jackpot prize. In the regular version, the cash prize is normally smaller because of the multiple ways you can win it.
If you play Four Corners, opt for purchasing a lot more online bingo tickets, because only four numbers, 01, 05, B1 and B5 will count, and nothing else will matter.
There is the Diamond wining format used in two types of online bingo; one uses a ‘clearer’ diamond, meaning the 12, 14, B3, N1, N5 and 03 numbers while the other uses just four numbers, mainly those in N1, N5, B3 and 03.
In Winner’s Circle, all numbers in B & O and the first as well as last numbers in I, N, G rows are the ones that matter in this bingo version.
In the cross format, all numbers in row N and those appearing in 13, B3, G3 and 03 are the ones that matter. You will notice that these numbers make up a cross.
You Can Win Prizes At Online Bingo
Online bingo has become enormously popular in the last few years. It was played in spacious halls in the past; now it has moved on to the internet. A large number of online bingo games sites have emerged, and the numbers are increasing all the time.
When an online bingo game has been chosen and play starts, gamers have to choose from a variety of cards they are offered. The player clicks on the card he wants and clicks “buy”. A countdown to the start is shown while the player reads about the rules and regulations and the ways of winning.
Online bingo has the additional highly convenient feature of auto play. This means that when a player starts a game, the auto play feature gets turned on automatically, so the player’s cards get automatically updated as the numbers are called.
An attractive feature of online bingo is the big cash prizes the gamers have a chance of winning while they play their favorite game. A number of cash jackpots are offered in online bingo; these are decided on the basis of the numbers of people buying the cards. The more the number of players in an online bingo game, the larger is the size of the jackpots. So, the jackpot gets bigger every time a new player joins the online game. The prize gets divided if two players win. Many of the online bingo sites offer a jackpot game on all days of the week. Then there are the jackpots that build up over time, and these are won by a player winning a game in a particular period. Many online bingo websites offer jackpot games for cash or free bingo games.
When a player wins a big sum of money at an online bingo site, sometimes the prize amount is deposited into his account over a period of time in a structured manner.
Of course, an online bingo jackpot is much harder to win compared to the normal bingo prizes in the regular games. For one thing, a much larger number of people will be playing the game (because of the attraction of the jackpot), or, a special event has to take place to trigger the jackpot. So although the jackpot amount is much bigger than the normal prizes, the chance of hitting a jackpot is also much lower.
But the uncertainty of winning a jackpot only serves to increase its attraction among the devotees of online bingo.
