Online Bingo is never boring with many different Types of Games

One of the best things about online bingo is the fact that there is such a host of different types and variants of online bingo games to pick from. There are, for instance, the 75 ball bingo or 90 ball bingo variations, a whole array of bingo online chat games and more.

One of the ways in which to play bingo differently is to choose different patterns. While the aim is still basically the same aim as in the 'ordinary' type of bingo, namely to match the called numbers to those on the cards, a multitude of patterns keep online bingo thrilling.

For many individuals, the so-called blackout pattern is a firm favourite. Here it is necessary to match each and every number on the card before bingo can be declared.

Some games use the letters of the actual word bingo as patterns - which one has to be achieved to call bingo in any particular game will be specified on the top of the cards - while others have a 'J' pattern.

Alternative patterns include the 'Kite', the 'Ship' or simply a selection of letters from the alphabet. Naturally games using the 'old-fashioned' single, double or triple line (the Full House) patterns, while sometimes five consecutive numbers in a line, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally can be marked off to achieve the bingo call.

It is really quite surprising just how many very different patterns or types of online bingo games there actually are. It is highly likely that players will be able to find slight variances on every one of the multitude of bingo sites there are available today.

CyberBingo, for instance, may use different games to SouthBeachBingo, with WinkBingo having yet another set. RedBusBingo is likely to have one or two games that are different from PoshBingo and BingoFest will have something on offer that varies from the games available at BingoSky.

While BingoFabulous has their particular set of games, TastyBingo players will have a different list of favourites and BingoForMoney is probably going to be different again. In the same way, games may vary between InternetBingo and InstantBingo, or between BingoHall, BingoStreet and VicsBingo.

In short, wherever a player is likely to go, he or she will probably discover yet another new variant. There are a few things all sites have in common, and one of them is the fact that there will be great prizes to be won and free bingo games for players to have a go at.

Another thing they have in common is that they all offer new players a welcoming bingo bonus. Some simply match new players' first deposits, others will double it and others still offer a range of possibilities which will be decided simply by the luck of the draw. In any case, the first deposit will ultimately go a lot further and allow for a lot more fun than it would have done without the bingo bonus.
