What is 36-ball bingo?

The 36-ball online bingo variant may be considered a speed game. While traditional 90-ball games can take more than 36 calls to achieve a full house, bingo is achieved with fewer calls in this version. In terms of software providers producing the game, Tombola and Playtech are among the few.

36 Ball Bingo Ticket

Each 36-ball bingo game is an equal chance game. This means nobody has an advantage over anyone else with one ticket per player rule. Every game consists of a maximum of 36 calls and multi-ticket stakes and jackpots. The prize you win will depend on the price of the ticket purchased. The jackpot prizes will also be determined by the stake of your ticket and when you call a full house.

36 Ball Bingo Rules

• Players must purchase their ticket before the countdown timer reaches 5 seconds to go.
• Once ticket sales are closed, the prizes will be displayed and the RNG will start to pull numbers/patterns at random.
• Players are required to mark off the called numbers/patterns as they are called. Autoplay will mark the ticket for you.
• The first player to complete a line will win the stated line prize.
• The first player to remove all numbers/patterns from their ticket will win the stated full house prize.
• Call a full house within the stated number of calls to win the jackpot on top of the full house prize.
• Once the winning ticket has been verified, a new game will begin.

Playing 36 Ball Bingo Online

The unique 36-ball bingo game is only available to play online and at certain online bingo sites. All gameplay is automatic unless you wish to enable manual play. Mobile bingo players simply need to tap the number/pattern as it is called for it to be removed from the ticket. Desktop/laptop users need to click their mouse on each pattern/number. Autoplay allows you to sit back and watch, chat or play side games, or all three where permitted.

Should you happen to disconnect from the game, your ticket will play out as if you were in the room. If you have purchased a winning bingo ticket, your winnings will be credited instantly on completion of the game.

Conclusion

Despite fewer numbers, 36-ball bingo is no quicker to play than a typical 90-ball bingo game, this is due to the speed at which the numbers/patterns are called. One of the star attractions of this modern bingo variant is its equal chance feature, plus multi-tiered prizes and jackpots. The downside is there is no pre-buy feature, meaning you have to be logged into your account and active to be able to participate in the games. Another advantage is, that the 36-ball bingo games at Tombola have a ‘no jackpot share’ rule, and this means everyone who wins the jackpot gets it in full!
