75-Ball Game Help
Last Updated on the 09/09/2014
Overview
75-ball bingo is the dominant form of bingo played in North America and is a variation of the 90-ball bingo variety. Players opt in to a 75-ball bingo game by purchasing numbered cards. A caller calls out numbers randomly and if they appear on a player's card, the player covers them or 'daubs' them. The first player to complete a pre-determined pattern on his/her card with covered numbers wins the game.
75-Ball Cards
The cards sold at 75-ball bingo games are formatted with a 5x5 chart of numbers.
Each spot on the chart presents a number, apart from the center square, which is labeled "FREE".
WINNING Pattern
In 75-ball bingo, the variety of winning patterns is endless.
Payouts and Jackpots
In most cases, the size of a game's payout is determined by the cost per card and the number of players who opted into the game. The higher the card price and the more players that join a game will cause the prize to be larger. Occasionally, we offer a fixed minimum prize regardless of the number of players that participate and the price of the cards. Extra jackpots can also be on offer in a select number of bingo games.

After you purchase cards for a bingo game, the next step is to wait for the game to begin. You can keep track of the time left until the game starts by checking the "Game Starts" countdown, which appears in the top left corner of the bingo screen.
New bingo games begin every few minutes so the wait is never long. Once the game begins, all the details you need to play will appear in an info bar on top of your cards. For example, you'll see the number of players who are playing the game, the jackpot prizes and the pattern you need to get in order to win.
Each number that is called during the game appears in the top. [Underneath/ besides] it, you'll find the last five calls that came before it, so you can keep track.
Daubing Your Numbers

The default selection is the automatic method, but if you prefer to daub manually, you can change the settings in the options menu by removing the checkmark beside "Autodaub". You can open your settings from the top left-hand corner of the bingo screen.
IMPORTANT: It doesn't matter if you manually daub the numbers or if you select autodaub to have it done for you. This does not affect the outcome of the game. If you own a bingo card with a win, the prize is yours no matter what!
You always have the option of turning Autodaub back on whenever you like.
