Bingo is a number game. You buy one or more cards, numbers are drawn at random, and you mark them off as they are called. If you are searching for VoodooDreams bingo, you probably want to know how the game is played, which formats are common, and what to check before you join a game. This page covers those points.
Common bingo variants
The two most common formats are 90-ball and 75-ball bingo. A 90-ball card has three rows and nine columns, with fifteen numbers in total, and numbers from 1 to 90 are drawn. A 75-ball card is a 5 by 5 grid, often with a free centre square, and numbers from 1 to 75 are drawn.
Other formats include 80-ball bingo, which uses a 5 by 5 card and numbers from 1 to 80, and shorter speed-style games with a smaller number pool. The rules and card layouts differ between formats, so read the instructions for each game.
Before you play, check which of these formats are listed at VoodooDreams, since the variants on offer can differ from the common ones.
How a bingo game works
Before each game starts, you choose and buy the cards you want to play. Numbers are then called one at a time. Each called number that appears on your card is marked, either automatically or by you, depending on the game.
The game has a prize pattern, such as one line, two lines or a full house. The first player to complete that pattern wins the prize. If several players complete it on the same call, the prize is usually shared between them.
The draw is random, so no card, number or timing gives you an edge. Check the prize pattern, the price of each card and the start time before you buy.

RNG bingo and live bingo
In RNG bingo, numbers are produced by a random number generator and the game runs on your screen. You play within the game's timer, and the round moves on without a host.
In live bingo, a host draws the numbers in a studio, usually shown on a video stream. Rounds start at set times, and you can see and often chat with other players. The draw is random in both versions, but the pace and the experience are different.
If you want the live version, check whether it is listed at VoodooDreams and see the live casino games page for the wider range of live options.
Practical tips before you play
- Read the prize pattern, card price and game times before you buy any cards.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and choose a stake you are comfortable losing.
- Stop when your budget or time limit is reached. Do not add more money to continue a game.
- No number pattern or betting system changes the odds, so treat bingo as entertainment.
- If you want help with limits or time-outs, the safer gambling page explains the options.
