Live Bingo Online

What Is Live Bingo?

Live bingo games are a close iteration of online bingo. Here, you'll experience the action in real-time as if you were in a bingo hall without even leaving the comfort of your home. As with every other live game, there is a real presenter on your screen whose actions you can follow via a broadcast.

The beauty of live bingo games is that the gameplay is no different from what you already know. And if you get lucky, your winnings are added to your balance. You can make a withdrawal whenever you want. If you've always wanted to play at a real bingo hall but never got a chance, live bingo is a must-try for you.

How to play live bingo

A live bingo game starts when the first number is called. To play, the first thing you need is a good internet connection, as that plays a key role in how you experience the live stream. Once you have that in place, select the bingo game you want to play, and follow these steps:

• Right before the live bingo game starts, a window will pop up. You'll need to click 'play' to join the live stream. Confirm that the sound is working well and that you can hear the presenter.
• You'll now need to buy tickets to play. You can also buy multiple tickets for each game. Make sure to check the ticket price and the number of tickets you're buying before you confirm your purchase.
• Once you've bought your tickets, you'll need to wait for the game to start.
• When the game starts, you'll need to listen to the bingo caller. This is usually the presenter in the live bingo game. You'll need to mark off the numbers on your ticket as the presenter calls them.
• As you mark off the numbers on your ticket, you should also check for win patterns. Most live bingo games have multiple win patterns, such as horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonals, and a full house.
• Your chosen live bingo game has a pay table showing each win pattern's prizes. You may need to click a button to see the pay table and what you may have won.

Live Bingo Games with Presenters:

There are different options for live bingo games online, each with a unique touch to make it stand out from the rest. Some of the popular ones you'll find are as follows:

Paddy Power Dream Catcher

The Paddy Power Dream Catcher game differs quite from the standard bingo games you know. Rather than bingo balls, there is a money wheel on the screen, divided into 54 segments with different colours. Your goal is to predict where the pointer will stop at the end of a spin. 

Monopoly Big Baller

This is a bingo game that mimics a game show but is styled like the popular game of Monopoly. You can place bets on one to four separate Chance/Free Space cards. When you make a wager, the 5x5 betting grid produces random numbers between 1 and 60. You can change each card between the Chance and Open Space roles.

After you bet, Mr. Monopoly will use a lever to randomly assign free daubs and multipliers to your cards. Next, you'll select 20 of the 60 spots on your card and watch as the drawing begins. If a number drawn matches with one you've selected, the spot gets a daub. Your wager will pay off if you fill in all the lines on your card. Sign up, or log into your Paddy Power account to play!

Mega Ball 100x

This game is a bingo and keno combo to create this entertaining game. You can buy between 1 and 200 bingo cards. The game uses cards that feature a sequence of numbers between 1 and 24, much like traditional bingo.

Now, the presenter starts the machine, and 51 balls float in the air. He'll pick 20 of these balls one by one, and you'll have to check if they match your selected number as with regular bingo games.

You can try out any of these games we've listed plus more to be launched soon, from anywhere on the go. Log into your account (or sign up to Paddy Power Bingo), and you’ll find Mega Ball 100x in your Live Bingo lobby. And, stay tuned! More live bingo games will be available soon!

Features and Types of Prizes in Live Bingo

When you play live bingo for real money, you can win different monetary prizes based on the game's paytable. It's a good tip to get acquainted with what your selected live bingo game offers by clicking the info icon before playing.

Special features in Live Bingo

Different live bingo games have fun add-ons like a chat room to make things more interesting. You can sometimes find 2x and 7x multipliers in dream catcher, and they can boost your wins if you get lucky. Mega Ball 100x has a feature that issues between 5x and 100x multipliers.

Consequently, you can win monetary prizes of 100x per card or more from live bingo games, depending on which variant you play. 

Live Bingo Presenters

Bingo Presenters (also known as bingo callers) are the bingo equivalent of the live casino dealers.

Live Bingo etiquette – Do’s and Don’ts for a Fun Game

When playing live bingo, it's important to be respectful during chats with the presenter and other players via the chat feature. Ensure you are patient and listen carefully to hear the presenter's words.

What to do if you can’t hear the presenter

If you can't hear the presenter, check to be sure the audio from your end is on. You will find a sound button on your screen which you can toggle on and off at will. If it's on and you still can't hear the presenter, you may want to leave a message via the game's chat feature to notify them.

If the audio issue isn't from your end, other players might be experiencing the same thing. As such, it will be fixed immediately by the studio.
