| Two Lines | Any two rows | Any two complete rows on the same ticket |

Traditional calls for 90 ball bingo cards

| 22 | Two little ducks | The two 2s look like swimming ducks |
| 69 | Either way up | The number reads the same upside down |

How long does a game with 90 ball bingo cards last?
A 90 ball bingo game has a predictable rhythm: One Line first, then Two Lines, then Full House, with a break between games. The table shows when each prize is usually won, and how many minutes the whole game takes at the default speed of 10 seconds a call.
| Tickets | Typical crowd | One Line | Two Lines | Full House | Time at 10 s a call |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 tickets | a family bingo night | call 43 (36 to 49) | call 62 (57 to 66) | call 76 (71 to 78) | 13 min |
| 30 tickets | a village hall or pub night | call 36 (31 to 41) | call 58 (54 to 62) | call 72 (69 to 75) | 12 min |
| 60 tickets | a club or charity event | call 31 (26 to 36) | call 54 (50 to 58) | call 69 (66 to 72) | 12 min |
| 120 tickets | a large charity night | call 28 (24 to 31) | call 51 (47 to 54) | call 66 (63 to 69) | 11 min |
The numbers come from real simulations of this generator: 300 games for each ticket count, with the typical call number and the middle half of results in brackets. More tickets mean the first prizes arrive sooner, but with 12 to 120 tickets the Full House still comes around call 66 to 76, because someone must complete all fifteen numbers. A typical bingo session runs a series of games with a short break in the middle, so print one set of tickets for each game or reuse the same tickets with a fresh caller sheet.
90 ball bingo tickets and how they are built
A real 90 ball bingo ticket has 27 squares: 3 rows and 9 columns. Each row has exactly five numbers and four blanks, so every ticket holds 15 numbers. The columns follow the decades: the first column holds numbers 1 to 9, the second 10 to 19, and so on up to the ninth column with 80 to 90. Printed in strips of six, the six tickets together use every number from 1 to 90 exactly once, which is how bingo strips work in the UK, Ireland and Australia.
Printable bingo tickets 1-90 for clubs and charity nights
For charity and club nights, you can print as many tickets as you need, up to 600 in one go. Press New tickets for a completely different set for the next game, and keep the caller sheet from the first game to settle any dispute. Many clubs print a set for each game of the evening and keep them in numbered envelopes.
UK bingo cards printable for home use
UK bingo cards printable at home are best for family and friends. Use dried beans, coins or colored pens as markers, and let children take turns as the caller. The game is called housie or housey-housey in some places, and tombola in others, but the tickets and the rules are the same.

90 ball bingo cards: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 75-ball and 90-ball bingo?
90-ball bingo (UK, Ireland, Australia, India) uses 3-row tickets and the numbers 1 to 90. 75-ball bingo (USA, Canada) uses 5-by-5 cards with B-I-N-G-O columns. For 75-ball cards use our bingo card generator.
Are these 90 ball bingo tickets really in strips of six?
Yes. Tickets are made in strips of six, like real bingo books: within each strip every number from 1 to 90 appears exactly once, each row has exactly five numbers and every column is used.
What are bingo strips?
A bingo strip is a set of six tickets printed together, so that all 90 numbers are covered once. Strips make the game fairer, because there are no duplicate numbers within a strip and no ticket is much luckier than another.
How many tickets can I print?
From 1 to 600 in one go, with 3, 6, 8 or 12 tickets per page. Press New tickets for a completely different set, and choose Letter or A4 paper, in color or black and white.
