75 Ball Bingo is the popular American variation of the 90 Ball game.  The two games are very similar, however 75 Ball Bingo is played with different tickets and different winning patterns are offered in each game.
Like our 90 Ball version, a new 75 Ball Bingo game starts every few minutes, all day every day, and you can set up all your own game environment preferences.
To play you must log in, have adequate funds in your account and buy at least one ticket. 

The Club Selector

All online clubs offer the same features and game options but have different opening hours; the Gala Interstate 75 Club however, is open every day, 24 hours a day.

A Club Selector button is available within each club above the Chat window to allow you move from one to another without having to log out.

The tickets

Each individual grid of numbers is referred to as a Ticket. Tickets are 5 rows by 5 columns.
The middle square is blank and counts as a bonus.

An example of a Ticket is given below:-

Winning combinations and prizes

Winning combinations include One Line and a different Pattern for each game. Depending on the game you will either be able to play only for the Pattern or for One Line and the Pattern.

To claim One Line you will need to mark off all the numbers in any vertical, horizontal, diagonal or all 4 corners on any one of your tickets.

To claim the Pattern you will need to mark off all the numbers included in the current winning pattern. Dabbing any number outside the pattern will not prevent you from claiming the Pattern, as long as you have marked off all the numbers included in it. The shape of the Pattern will vary in each game and will be clearly displayed in the game information panel at the top left hand side of your screen.

Prizes for each winning pattern vary depending on ticket prices and number of participants. However in certain games we may guarantee a minimum prize and offer additional jackpots. All prices and additional jackpots will be shown in the game information panel in the top left corner of your game screen.

When jackpots are offered in specific games, the amount is always clearly displayed in the game information panel in the top left corner of your game screen.

All winnings will be credited to your Galabingo.co.uk account immediately after each valid claim.

Your Game Preferences

To set up all your game environment preferences, click on Preferences on the top navigation bar on the main screen. 

This is what the Game Preferences window looks like:-

Customise the game by ticking the boxes corresponding to the various areas of the game. Preferences can be changed at any time and will be saved for the next time you log in.

To participate in a game of bingo you must buy at least one ticket.

The maximum amount of tickets you will be able to buy and the price for each individual ticket will vary depending on the game and will always be clearly displayed at the top of the ticket display area.

There are two ways to choose the tickets you wish to buy. You may either select the tickets of your choice (Select & Buy), or just select how many tickets you wish to buy and they will be randomly chosen for you (Quick Buy).

Please note: whichever way you decide to buy your Bingo tickets, for every £1 you sped, you earn 2 Nectar points. For more details, please click here.

Select & Buy Option

To choose your own tickets, rather than accept the random selection made by the system, you may click directly on a Ticket.  Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view the Tickets available.

When you click on a Ticket the Select & buy window will automatically open. You may continue to select your Tickets up to the maximum number allowed in the game. Selected Tickets will be highlighted in yellow in the Ticket Viewing section.

You may deselect unwanted tickets by clicking on each one again. To deselect all tickets, click on Clear and start a new selection. When you click on Cancel you close the Select & Buy window.

This is what the Select & Buy option window looks like:-

Once you are happy with your selection, click on Purchase and then confirm your purchase by clicking on Confirm in the confirmation pop-up window. If you wish to change your selections click on Cancel instead.
Please note: ticket sales close 12 seconds before each game. A message will inform you that the ticket sales are closed. Just a few seconds later, however, tickets for the next game will become available.

Quick buy option

By clicking on the Buy Tickets button the Quick Buy window will automatically open.
Using the arrow button you may select the number of Tickets you wish to buy.
As you increase the number of selections, the corresponding Tickets chosen for you will be highlighted in yellow in the Ticket Viewing section. Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view all Tickets.
You may also select 6, 12, 18 or 24 random tickets by clicking on the relevant buttons in the Multiples box inside the Quick Buy window.

The details of your selection (price of each ticket, number of selected tickets and total price) will be updated below as you make your selections.
This is what the Quick Buy option window looks like:-

If you are happy with your selection, click on Purchase. To delete your selections, click on Clear and start a new selection. If you click on Cancel you close the Quick Buy window.
When you click on Purchase a confirmation window will appear. Click on Confirm to confirm your purchase, or on Cancel to go back to the Quick Buy window and change your selection.

Advanced Ticket Purchase

The Advanced Tickets feature allows you to buy tickets for future draws in any 90 Ball and 75 Ball club available.
Click on Advanced Tickets, select the type of game - 75 or 90 Ball Bingo - then select the club and the game for which you would like to buy tickets; then select the number of tickets you wish to buy and click on Purchase.
To delete your selections, click on Clear and start a new selection. If you click on Cancel you close the Advanced Tickets window.

This is what the Advanced Tickets option window looks like:-

Once you are happy with your selection, click on Purchase and then confirm your purchase by clicking on Confirm in the confirmation pop-up window.  If you wish to change your selections, click on Cancel instead.
You will not be able to change your tickets as this function works in the same way as the Select & Buy and the Quick Buy.

All advanced tickets will appear in the Reserved Tickets window.

You will also be able see your Bingo tickets from your List Of Bets as usual once they have been played, this allows you to see whether you won should you be playing in a different club when your Advanced Tickets are played.

The Game
Once you have bought your tickets you must wait for the game to start.

A new 75 ball Bingo game starts every few minutes. The schedule and the details of the next games in every Gala Club can be viewed at any time by clicking on Times & Prices in the game information panel in the top left area of your game screen. You can use the drop down menu to select another Club.

In the game information panel you can also see the name of the current game, the number of participants and the prize for each winning pattern, including the Progressive Jackpot and any extra prizes.

Once the game starts, in the game display area at the top right of your screen, you will see each number as it’s drawn and marked off on the checklist.

You can change the volume in the club by using the Volume Control above the Banners/Game Grid in the top right of the screen. If you want to switch off only a certain part of the sound (e.g. the Caller or the Music) then you can click on the Advanced Sound Control icon next to the Volume Control.

While you are waiting you may also visit and play bingo in any other open club by clicking on the Club Selector button also at the top of the Chat window. All games will open in a new browser window and will not affect your bingo game. You can move this new window around enabling you to keep an eye on Chat or your Bingo tickets should you wish to do so.

Dabbing Your Numbers

You may dab your numbers manually or chose to have them dabbed automatically.

The automatic option is selected by default, but should you prefer to dab your numbers manually, click on Preferences and deselect the Auto Dab box.  For your convenience, an Auto Dab box will also appear above your tickets just before the game starts.  You may change dabbing mode during the game.

If you have chosen the manual dabbing mode, don’t worry if you fall behind. By clicking on the Catch up button, all called numbers will be dabbed automatically. All called numbers will be dabbed automatically also every time a valid claim is made.

The dabber shape selected in your preferences will apply only to the numbers NOT included in the Pattern. When you dab a number included in the Pattern the whole square on your ticket will change colour.

Valid Games

Every time you complete a winning pattern (One Line or Pattern) you can click on Claim. However, don’t worry if you don’t, your winnings will still be safe and a winner claim box will appear automatically on your screen. All other players will also be notified by a pop up box showing all details of your winning claim.

In the same way, as soon as any other player makes a valid claim, a box will pop up on your screen showing all details of the other players’ winning claim.
If you are on manual dabbing mode, the winner claim box will appear automatically when you have a valid claim, even if you didn’t dab any of the numbers on your ticket.

Disconnections

While playing online bingo it is possible to become disconnected from the game, but not to worry as our Card Manager will take over the dabbing for you. Should you win at any stage then claims will be automatically made and your account will then be updated with any winnings so you will never miss out!

Games Arcade

While you are waiting for the next game of bingo to start you can play any of our great games by simply clicking on Games Menu from inside your Bingo Club.
 
All games open in a separate window and don’t interfere with the bingo draw in progress.
Any winnings are credited to your Galabingo.co.uk account immediately.
