Pattern bingo moves beyond the basics of one- and two-line games into more exciting territory. Players need to use their imagination and wit to interpret patterns as speedily as possible. With 75-90 squares available for a Bingo Card, hundreds of potential patterns are possible to play with and while it is possible for patterns to be achieved in 90 ball bingo, the 75 ball version of the game is more commonly identified with patterns.

In Pattern bingo, the caller announces a certain pattern that is a bit more complex than a vertical, horizontal or diagonal pattern. This pattern is usually based on shapes, and takes a bit of creativity and imagination to devise.

Patterns include: postage stamps, four corners, the letter ‘x’, a plus sign, and a host of others. Pattern bingo can also accommodate different seasonal themes, such as pumpkins, Christmas trees, or turkeys. The possibilities really are endless.

Using bingo patterns in the bingo games is a fun way to keep it interesting for all the players and is also a great way to incorporate special promotions when you are playing bingo.
