Bingo is a popular game among the old and the young. A lot of people are so familiar with the game that they can easily recognize a bingo hall in a movie if they show a scene of old people fiddling around with notes of paper on long tables in a large hall. But what a lot of people don’t know about is that there are more ways than one to play bingo. It may seem surprising but there are actually several variations of bingo.

Quick Shot Bingo

In this version numbers are drawn prior to the start of the game and the players buy sealed bingo cards that are then matched against the numbers that were pre-drawn. If a player comes up with a specified pattern then he gets a prize according to a prize table. With some variations players continue with the game until they get the top level prize, after which new numbers are drawn and another game will begin.

U-Pick’Em bingo

This version has players choosing certain numbers they want to mark down and wait for them to win. This game is quite similar to Keno, which is a game that the Chinese invented a long time ago.

Horse Racing Bingo

In this version, players of up to 15 are randomly given a number from 1 to 15. These numbers correspond with the bingo flashboard’s top row. The game starts when the numbers are drawn and the first person to get all five numbers in his column wins. This kind of bingo is much faster and more thrilling compared to the others.

Bonanza bingo

Before this game starts there are already 43 numbers that were drawn. Players buy sealed cards that are matched to the pre-drawn numbers. The caller will ask anyone at a certain time if they have a bingo. If none of the players has then the caller draws one more ball. This variation of bingo is considered to be a “progressive” game, since the jackpot becomes bigger as more cards get sold. If no one wins after the  caller has drawn the single ball then all the players would have to hold on to their tickets until the next game which could be the following day or the following week.

These are just some of the variations of bingo that are usually being played right now. There are more game variations out there that could be found on the internet or other bingo venues.
