How to Play Express Bonus Bingo (Novomatic)
Express Bonus Bingo is a so-called South American variant of bingo. Ninety balls numbered from 1 to 90 are used in this model. Fifteen randomly selected numbers (also from one to ninety) are written on cards. They are arranged in three rows according to the 3x5 scheme.
During a round, the random number generator that is embedded in this model selects thirty balls. The chosen numbers are automatically marked off on cards.
The aim of the game is to collect a paid combination in one or more bingo tickets. Established patterns are supposed to be such combinations. All of them are discussed in the section Rules. The highest-ranking combinations include: Bingo (fifteen marked off numbers) and Bonus (all outer numbers). The payout is credited for the highest-ranking hand in the bingo ticket.
It is possible to play Express Bonus Bingo on one, two, three, or four cards. The bet size for each of them is chosen by the user. The available range extends from six credits to two and a half thousand per each ticket. So, it is allowed to stake up to ten thousand per round.
The payout amount is calculated taking into account a multiplier provided for each pattern. It can vary from 1x to 1,500x. The calculation is made by multiplying it by the bet size.
The gameplay in Express Bonus Bingo occurs in the following way:
- The customer determines the number of tickets and selects a bet per each of them.
