Back Office list
The third variation is 80 Ball Bingo, which is essentially a hybrid between the 75 and 90 ball formats. The cards used in this game are 4×4, and contain an overall total of 16 numbers that must be marked off. There are also multiple ways to win in this game, with players able to call the completion of entire lines (whether vertical, horizontal or diagonal) in addition to marking off all digits. Some operators also offer players an opportunity to win a prize by marking off all four corners of the card, although this is an optional rule that is not always enforced.
