Out of all the popular online games being played today, online bingo may be the most interesting as well as the easiest to play. It suits beginners and pros equally well. When you play online bingo, you have to take quick decisions and instant moves, and this adds to the excitement of the game. Different types of online bingo games are played, and a person new to the scene may well feel confused by them. Below, we have given descriptions of different types of online bingo games, along with some tips.

The easiest bingo variant is Cover All. In this type of online bingo game all that is required of you to win is to be the first player to get all the numbers marked in your card. For a Cover All bingo game, purchasing one ticket is as good as purchasing two or more, since there is no way you can determine which numbers will get called out first.

Compared to the other types of online bingo games, the jackpot is usually higher in a Cover All game. But the catch here is that all numbers in your card have to get marked before the forty first number is drawn; the jackpot prize is greatly reduced after this.

Another version of online bingo is Regular, which you can win in three ways, which is to have your numbers marked in a horizontal, a vertical or in a diagonal row. Numbers marked in any of these three directions will win you the jackpot prize. In the regular version, the cash prize is normally smaller because of the multiple ways you can win it.

If you play Four Corners, opt for purchasing a lot more online bingo tickets, because only four numbers, 01, 05, B1 and B5 will count, and nothing else will matter.

There is the Diamond wining format used in two types of online bingo; one uses a 'clearer' diamond, meaning the 12, 14, B3, N1, N5 and 03 numbers while the other uses just four numbers, mainly those in N1, N5, B3 and 03.

In Winner's Circle, all numbers in B & O and the first as well as last numbers in I, N, G rows are the ones that matter in this bingo version.

In the cross format, all numbers in row N and those appearing in 13, B3, G3 and 03 are the ones that matter. You will notice that these numbers make up a cross.
