The PDF ends with a caller's board of 1 to 90, in the same nine columns the tickets use, so the column you cross off is the column players are looking at.

How a strip of six works
A single ticket holds fifteen of the ninety numbers, so most calls miss it. Six tickets built as a strip hold all ninety between them, one each, which is why they are sold as a book: every number called marks a square somewhere in the player's hand, and the game is guaranteed to finish. The tickets here are built that way rather than shuffled into it, and the test suite checks all ninety on every strip it makes.
Play it in three prizes: one line, then two lines, then the full house. Say which one is running before the first call. If you would rather play the American game of 75 numbers on a 5x5 card, the bingo card generator prints those, with words or numbers, and the pattern chart draws every winning shape for it.
Questions
- What is a 90-ball bingo ticket?
- A grid of three rows and nine columns holding fifteen numbers and twelve blanks. Every row has exactly five numbers, and each column only holds numbers from its own range: 1 to 9 in the first column, 10 to 19 in the second, and 80 to 90 in the last, which is the column with eleven numbers in it.
- What is a strip of six?
- Six tickets that share all ninety numbers between them, each number appearing exactly once. Play a strip and every number called marks a square somewhere in your hand, which is why tickets are sold in strips of six rather than singly. It also means the game always ends: by the ninetieth call every ticket is full.
- How do you win at 90-ball bingo?
- Three prizes in one game, in this order: one line, which is any five numbers in a single row; two lines, which is two rows on the same ticket; and a full house, all fifteen. Call the prize before the round starts so nobody argues about it halfway through.
- Is this the same as housie or tambola?
- Yes. Housie is what the game is called in Australia and New Zealand, tambola in India, and 90-ball bingo in the UK and Ireland. Same 3x9 ticket, same strip of six, same numbers. These tickets work for all three.
- Can I print the same tickets again later?
- Yes. Every book has a short game code, and the same code reproduces the exact same tickets on any device. Note it down, or share the link, and reprinting a lost ticket is a matter of seconds rather than a reason to start the game again.
- Is it free?
- Yes, unlimited strips, no signup, no watermark and no cap. Print a book for a hall of two hundred if that is what the evening needs.
