Bingo rules can vary site to site. Some of these are the mechanics of playing but there are a couple of different varieties as well. Depending on which country you are in can make a big difference of how you learned the original game.

In North America, the bingo grid is different from Europe or Australia. The bingo grid in North America spells out "bingo" at the top of it and this will give you five columns. Then there will be five rows; making a 5X5 grid. The numbers also correspond to the letters in the word bingo.

For instance the numbers 1-15 all belong to the letter B. The numbers 16-30 belong to the letter I. The numbers 31-45 belong to the letter N. The numbers 46-60 belong to the letter G. The numbers 61-75 belong to the letter O. The winner will call out "bingo" when the pre-arranged pattern appears on their card.

In Europe and Australia bingo is also known as "tombola". Their card is designed with 9 column and 3 rows. There are a total of 27 squares on the ticket. There are 90 balls that are in play. There are usually three winners in this format: The first player to complete a row, the first player to complete two rows, and then the first player to get a full house (when the whole card is complete).
