A look around the big bingo sites and promotions aside the game of bingo is pretty much the same from site to site. Most offer the traditional 90 ball bingo game, whilst 75 ball pattern bingo can be found on many others - but what if you’re feeling a bit bored of these games? Well, why not give these bingo variations a try!

Elimination Bingo
Available at Game Village, Elimination Bingo is like reverse bingo! The object of the game is to match the least amount of numbers. Beat the devil and you win the jackpot. Bingo cards cost just 5p and you can only buy 3 for each game. Currently you can only play between 7pm and 10pm.

Cinco
Cinco is one of the most popular games at Sun Bingo. Players are dealt playing cards instead of having a bingo ticket. Cards are then called (instead of numbers) and the winner is the person who covers all their cards first. Does that make sense? Games are quick and there are decent prizes on offer.

Battleships Bingo
Also from Sun Bingo, Battleships Bingo combines bingo with the well known game of Battleships. Your bingo card is made up of where you position your battleships. As the numbers are called your ships are attacked - the first person to be sunk wins! Games cost 50p and £1.

30 Ball Bingo
75 and 90 ball bingo are well known, 80 ball bingo is also played - but Gone Bingo have thrown a spanner in the works and now have 30 ball bingo! The games are played on a 3×3 card which means the games are quicker. Game cards are the same price as other games and when we visited most bingo players still preferred the traditional games.

As the battle for bingo players continues - and to keep players interested - we expect to see more variations on the bingo theme!
