A- How to play 75 Ball Bingo- (Refer to Fig 1-# 1 &
2)
• Bingo cards have random numbers ranging from 1 to 75;
numbers are called from a pool of 75 balls and are marked off
on the player’s cards if they match. The winner is the first
player whose card has all the matching balls marked of in a predefined
pattern.
• Bingo Cards and Patterns - Bingo cards are divided into
groups of numbers. The groups are named after letters in the word
Bingo. So group 1 is called B and numbers range from 1 to 15.
Group 2 is called I and numbers range from 16 to 30 etc. Each
of the 5 columns on a card has random numbers from the respective
number ranges on them. See the Table below.
| Group |
Name |
Number
Range |
| 1 |
B |
1-15 |
| 2 |
I |
16-30 |
| 3 |
N |

G |
46-60 |

The pattern that players are trying to achieve can differ greatly
– anything from a standard single line to more complicated
themed patterns. The aims of the Online Bingo games are always
the same: mark the numbers to achieve the pattern and get bingo.
• Each game has a single “Bingo Pattern” associated
with it, and this Bingo pattern will define the winning card/s.
The pattern is a 5x5 square; with the centre block ignored. The
game will then select a predefined 5x5 pattern, called the “Bingo
Pattern”. This pattern is the winning pattern of this game.
See Figure 1 below.
• Once the game has begun you can watch as the numbers are
automatically called and marked off on your cards. The computer
will call out in random order all 75 Bingo balls. If a user’s
card contains the called number that number is marked off. If
the marked off numbers match the winning pattern, then the player
wins the game. See figure 2 below
• Your cards that are displayed on the top right hand of
the screen will automatically change from: Bingo in 4, to bingo
in 3, to bingo in 2 etc until you have 0 to go until Bingo. If
you have 0 to go, you then get Bingo and win the game. Your name
will then pop up saying that you were the winner of that game.See
figure 3 below.
B- Buying Cards: (Refer to Fig 1-# 1 & 5)
• While a game is being played, a player can buy into the
next game to be played. If a player sits down at the table in
between games a timer (see Figure 4 below) will indicate the time
to the next game. To join a game, a player needs to have enough
money to buy cards for the game. The money is first deducted from
the player’s real account, and if no real money is available,
then the remainder is deducted from the bonus bucks account..
• To purchase bingo cards, select the cards you want to
play. The number of cards to buy can be adjusted by clicking the
5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and MAX buttons .You can then optionally increase/decrease
the amount of cards to buy by clicking the “<”
and “>” buttons. See Figure 5 below
• Once you have chosen the cards that you would like to
buy, click on the BUY NOW button to buy cards for the next bingo
game. The card prices will vary from game to game depending on
which Bingo room you are playing in.
• If both “real” and “bonus bucks”
accounts have insufficient funds, the player won’t be able
to join the game and he/she will be asked if he/she wants to purchase
additional credits. Each game has a minimum and maximum allowable
number of cards. To qualify for a game the player has to buy at
least the minimum, and no more than the maximum allowable number
of cards.
• Auto play button- If you want to leave your PC, and still
be included in the next game you can tick the auto play box. You
will be prompted to enter the number of cards to purchase for
each possible card denomination. Once you have chosen the cards
that you would like to buy you click on the ‘Buy Cards’
tab. See Figure 6 below.
• Total purchase amount -The total amount that you purchased
for that specific game will be displayed next to “Total
Purchase”. See Figure below.
• C- Current Game Info: (Refer to Fig 1-# 3)
• Prize : The prize amount depends on the number of players
participating in the game and the number of cards purchased.
• Jackpot
: All games are played for a Jackpot. The Jackpot is won by the
first player to achieve bingo within a certain predefined “number
of balls”. If there is no winner of the Jackpot in a certain
game, then the jackpot is rolled over to the next game. Jackpots
are site specific and can thus only be won by players playing
the game within that specific site. Jackpots can be changed and
can vary according to hours of play and patterns.
If the jackpot is won it will automatically reset back to the
minimum jackpot amount that is set for that hour. If the jackpot
is won by a non qualified player (Player who has not made a first
deposit) the jackpot amount won will then be added back into the
next Jackpot.
• Bingo
Bonanza : The Bingo Bonanza is the Progressive Jackpot and varies
proportionally to the card price played. The Bingo Bonanza is a
jackpot played across all participating Leapfrog Gaming sites. It
is therefore possible for this Progressive Jackpot to be won at
another participating site. The starting value of this jackpot is
£10,000 for a £1 card, and therefore £1,000 for
a 10p card, etc.
The
Bonanza prize can only be won when a Bingo Bonanza pattern is
playing - not all games will have a bonanza prize-. If there is
a Bingo Bonanza pattern playing then a little ‘i’
will appear below the Bingo Bonanza meter . If you click on the
little ‘i’ the pop up box below will appear on your
screen, which explains how many cards you need to purchase in
order to be eligible to win the Bingo Bonanza. The Bingo Bonanza
is funded at a rate of 1% of bingo wagering.
In the unlikely
event that the Bingo Bonanza is won at two participating sites
at a very close to the same time, then the jackpot amount displayed
may not have had sufficient time to correctly reflect the initial
win. In this case, the first player to hit the jackpot will be
awarded the Progressive Jackpot payout and the second player to
hit the jackpot will be awarded the starting value as stated above.

• Impact of Disconnection
Once a player has purchased cards for a game, then no further
game interaction is required from the player to complete that
game. Thus, in the event of a player being disconnected, the game
will be completed without a player's presence, and all winnings
will be credited to the player's account.
If a player has purchased cards for the subsequent game and that
game had not yet started at the time of disconnection, then the
player will not be included in the subsequent game and any monies
deducted for that game will be refunded.
Please note that if a player is disconnected while playing a currently
active bingo game, then the player will only be able to log in
again after that game has completed.
