Bingo is one of the most popular communal games in the entire world, with a purpose that actually transcends far more than simple gambling. For instance, it is a critical tool in the education of young children, and is also crucial to hundreds of thousands of care homes all around the world, giving those that are less advantaged something genuinely fun to take care of. 

Bingo has been around in some shape or form since the 16th Century, with an Italian lottery called “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia” being widely recognised as a primordial example of the game. It means that Bingo has existed for almost 500 years, quite a long time isn’t it? Subsequently, the game has undergone various mutations and evolutions, until we arrive at the present day where there are countless different types of Bingo. Let’s take a look at some below which are also available to try at https://www.barbadosbingo.com… 

Bingo U-Pick Em 

This is a Bingo spin-off that has actually become quite popular due to the increased player participation involved with it. Here players actually have the chance to pick the numbers they need to win, bringing it closer to the Chinese game Keno. 

Bingo Bonanza 

Anything with the word “bonanza” in it is bound to be incredibly exciting; you cannot really argue with that can you? Bingo Bonanza is absolutely no exception to the rule, a strain of the game where there are 43 numbers to be drawn. First one to match all of them wins! The nice thing about Bingo Bonanza is it is usually played in large groups, therefore also having a large jackpot… 

Stallion Race Bingo 

This version of Bingo can only be played by a maximum of 15 people, but this does not mean it is any less fun than any of the other versions if anything it could be the most tantalizing of them all. Each player will get a number from 1 to 15 that will correspond to the first column of their hand. As soon as somebody gets a meaningful sequence of 5 numbers they win! Simple as that.

Passing Bingo 

Ever wanted to play Bingo in opposite land? Passing Bingo is pretty much exactly what it would be like. In any normal game when a person hits “Bingo!” they win, right? Well in this version anyone who does this will actually be eliminated from the game. This goes on and on until there is only one person left, and they become a winner. 

75-Ball Bingo 

This is the most popular type of Bingo played in America, as a result of the U.S Bingo card that was developed by Erwin S. Lowe and a mathematics professor he enlisted the help of. It works on a 5×5 grid with 24 numbers and one blank square. As the name here may suggest this variant of Bingo is played with 75 balls, they come out in 4 different sections that correspond to the scorecard. The first player to check 5 consecutive numbers or a section will win.
