Speed Bingo (30 ball bingo) - what is it?

The first ever online bingo site that I played at was Think Bingo and this was some 3 and a half years ago now. Back then the only bingo games available to play at an online bingo site where 75 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo, today however we as online bingo players are spoilt for choice when deciding which style of bingo games suits us.

The newest addition to an ever growing selection is 30 ball bingo, otherwise known as Speed Bingo and it's a name very suited to it.

30 ball bingo players on a bingo board that is just 3 x 3 (a total of 9 squares) and there is only ever a maximum of 30 bingo calls made to win this game. (The picture at the top of this article is a 30 ball bingo board.)

In all other aspects the game plays the same as any other bingo game; it just plays through quicker meaning that you can get more games in per hour.

This then begs the question has this been launched to provided more variety to online bingo players or merely and exercise in more games per hour therefore increasing spending on the site?

Sites that currently host 30 ball bingo are all on the Cozy Games platform and include Gone Bingo, WOW Bingo, Bingo Hero, Bingo Magix and House of Bingo.

Speed Bingo is like 75 ball bingo in that you can only have one winner (unless the prize pot is split with multiple players calling bingo on the same number) but differs in that it is always played for coveralls where as 75 ball bingo usually plays for patterns, with the exception of coverall games of course.

Here's something to think on about 30 ball bingo, how will the usual types of chat games work on this new game? If this game takes off and the rooms get busy, say 45 players in a room, how can you play a chat game like Lucky Number? Multiple players with the same lucky number could lead to problems. Will this new style bingo bring with it a new generation of bingo chat game?
