Tickets and Strips
In the 75 Ball Bingo game, a ticket is an individual grid of 25
squares made up of 5 rows and 5 columns.
Each square contains a number so 25 numbers appear on each ticket
apart from the centre square which is 'free' and will have a star
icon in it.
The price of a ticket varies for each bingo game. When tickets
are available for purchase, the ticket price is clearly published
on the face of each ticket, in the Purchase Tickets pop-up window
and at the top of the Ticket Area of the bingo window.
Once the game has started, tickets will show a unique ticket
number.
In a game of 75 Ball Bingo a strip is a group of 3 tickets. Every
possible number from 1 through to 75 will appear on each full strip
apart from 3 as there are three free squares.
You may purchase a total of 12 strips for each bingo game,
totaling 36 tickets!
Game Prizes/Jackpots
75 Ball Bingo
The prizes/jackpots offered in each bingo game each have a minimum
guaranteed jackpot but the actual prize is determined by the number
of players/ticket purchased per game. The more players/tickets
purchased, the bigger the jackpot!
In each bingo game there are 5 prizes to win - 1 line, 2 lines, 3
lines, 4 lines and 5 lines. The player who is the first to have all
the numbers called displayed in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal
line on their ticket wins the 1 line prize.
To win the 2 line prize, the player must have all the numbers
called on 2 lines of the same ticket.
To win the 2 lines, 3 line or 4 line prizes the player must have
all the numbers called on the number of lines required for the
prize on the same ticket. Only the 1 prize can be won by having all
numbers called displayed in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line
on their ticket. To win subsequent line prizes only numbers called
displayed on horizontal lines on their ticket qualify. Diagonal and
horizontal lines only count towards the 1 line prize.
To claim the 5 lines or bingo prize the player must have all the
numbered squares called on a ticket.
You will be a winner and will receive the current prize regardless
of whether you have marked the numbers on the winning ticket. The
bingo game will automatically identify a win. Winners will be
visibly published in bingo and the Bingo Caller will make an
announcement.
Two or more players can win/share a prize in bingo (1 line, 2
lines, 3 lines, 4 lines or 5 lines), i.e. players' may have tickets
which meet the prize criteria on the same ball. A single player may
also win a prize more than once too! i.e. this can only happen if
the player purchased tickets from other strips In such
circumstances the cash prize will be split in equal proportions
between the winners. Winnings will be deposited directly into the
player's account.
