Football Fans Unite Through Bingo

Although football fans would not normally class bingo as a game they might enjoy, there are some games that can combine the two to create a fun game suitable for footie enthusiasts and bingo players alike – in fact it is hoped this combo might even unite football fans from different clubs!

Regular bingo is usually played as a 90 ball or 75 ball game. The 90 ball bingo games have three winners – one winner for one line of numbers, one winner for two lines and the three line, or full house, winner. The full house receives the biggest prize. the 90 ball game is the most common and popular in the UK.

The 75 ball bingo games, in comparison, are pattern games, whereby players have to mark off a pre-specified pattern on their bingo cards. 75 ball bingo is most popular in the US but it has become more so in the UK thanks in part to online casinos where this game variety is normally on offer.

Online bingo sites normally offer all kinds of bingo. Costa Bingo, one of the most popular bingo sites in the UK, gives players the choice of these two games, plus plenty of side game options such as casino table games and slot titles – best of all, these games can often be played as side games alongside the regular bingo games.

One of the most popular slot games available at Costa Bingo is Lost Island. This slot classic is one of the instant games available at the site, allowing players to spin the reels for big wins while they pay their favourite bingo games. Lost Island slot has a tropical island theme and players can enjoy winning cash prizes as they are transported off to a world surrounded by wild animals and palm trees.

In addition to these other gaming options, some bingo sites also offer other bingo games such as 80 ball bingo or 30 ball bingo. A new variety of bingo that has sprung up in recent times is the themed bingo game. Although not often available at bingo sites, these themed games are highly popular in home games, where players can customise their gaming fun to suit their own interests. In this instance it is the football theme that has brought thousands of footy fans to switch on to the game of bingo!

Football bingo works in the usual bingo fashion, with each players having a card, but instead of numbers marked on the card there are football terms, such as ‘Offside’, ‘Hand ball’ or ‘Penalty’. The phrases need not all be negative of course – though this may be more fun – players can also use neutral terms such as ‘Goalie’, ‘Centre Forward’ or ‘Coach’.

The idea of the football bingo game is that the different terms are written down and put into a hat, to be drawn out at random during the game instead of numbers. Each player marks off the phrase they hear on their bingo card until they have scored a line or a pattern – depending on which kind of bingo game they are playing.

Perhaps the best version of the football bingo game would involve the first player to score five words or phrase in a row winning the game. So it seems that football bingo looks set to turn footy fans into bingo addicts, uniting all fans in a common love for both football and bingo!
