Bingo Patterns: What Are They?

Bingo patterns come in all shapes and variations. If you take a grid of twenty five squares (the card), and choose one line of 5 squares there are twelve different patterns that you can choose from without repeating yourself.

Bingo Pattern Variations

The following bingo game pattern examples are some of the most popular designs. There are lots of possible bingo game patterns that can be played with a card of 25 squares. There are bingo cards that have the pattern already marked/highlighted, and have three basic designations.

• Static or standard bingo patterns. These bingo patterns cannot be moved or shifted on the Bingo card and are won only when every square of the pattern that is marked/highlighted on the card is covered.
• Crazy bingo patterns. These bingo cards allow the pattern to be rotated in 90 degree increments for a winning bingo pattern match (by 90°, 180° or 270°).
• Wild bingo patterns. These bingo cards have scattered patterns. The bingo pattern stays in the same place (static) but can be located anywhere on the card.
