The what’s, why’s and where’s of 5-line bingo!

Finding yourself in a bit of a rut with the traditional 90-ball and 75-ball bingo games? Us too. As frequent bingo players, sometimes you fancy something a little bit different – and thankfully roomies, we’ve got just the ticket for you. 5-line bingo offers (not surprisingly) five chances to scoop a jackpot, which means you’ve got more chances than ever to win yourself some bingo bucks. Read on for the full deets of how to get the most out of 5-line bingo, and where you need to be playing! The game originally derived from Swedish Bingo, and to make it easier, here’s a quick run through of what you can expect from a 5-line bingo game:

• A 75-ball style card, laid out in a 5×5 grid with numbers ranging from 1-75.

• 5 jackpots can be won on the game – for one line, 2 lines, 3, lines, 4 lines and 5 lines (also known as a Full House).
• Some sites will have the same prize value for 1-4 line wins, whereas some will increase the jackpot with each round.

• You can grab a first line win by either matching a horizontal, diagonal or vertical line.
• The games are pretty fast, with easy to complete patterns – making this an ideal option for those who also love Speed Bingo or even bingo beginners.

If you’re looking to have a go, then five-line bingo also goes under the names of UK 75 Ball Bingo and Swedish – style Bingo. Over the last few months, more and more online bingo sites have added 5- line games to their line-up. It makes perfect sense – the online bingo world is still growing rapidly, with some big bingo sites like Tombola Bingo boasting no fewer than 2 million users, all hungry for a big bingo win. A game that offers even more chances to scoop even more prizes is surely no bad thing amongst hungry roomies eager for more!
