Pattern bingo adds a bit of extra 'spice' to the bingo game. With 75-90 squares available for a Bingo Card, hundreds of potential patterns are possible to play with. 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 (just to name a few) an arrow, the letter "X", four corners, a plus sign, outside picture frame, inside picture frame, and many, many more. There are simply too many patterns to name! Pattern bingo can also accommodate different seasonal themes, such as pumpkins, Christmas trees, or turkeys. The possibilities are truly 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.
