Paddy's Bargain Basement

Paddy's Bargain Basement Bingo90 is a traditional 90-ball bingo room running under the Paddy Power theme, and it wears that theme without a hint of embarrassment.

The format is the familiar one. Numbers are drawn from a universe of 90, players mark off their tickets as the calls come through, and games run to a fixed timetable rather than waiting for a room to fill.

•     Game type: scheduled bingo room

•     Style: traditional 90-ball

•     Rooms available: 1

•     Theme: Paddy Power

•     Opening hours: 24 hours

•     Tickets: 1p to 4p, depending on the time of day

Tickets, Calls & Rules

Each ticket carries 15 numbers, and marking off all 15 is what completes a Full House.

Calls arrive around every 4 seconds, with daubing handled as the numbers are called. Three prizes are awarded in each game:

•     Line: the first of the three prizes in the sequence

•     2 Lines: awarded once two Lines are completed on a ticket

•     Full House: awarded for all 15 numbers on a ticket

•     Games are scheduled at 5 minute intervals, which works out at 12 games per hour.

•     Any prizes you win are credited straight to your Paddy Power Bingo account.

Room Setup

There is one room here, running the Paddy Power theme throughout, with the scheduled 90-ball format as its only running order.

RTP

The published RTP for this room is 65%, with 12% going to the Line prize, 18% to 2 Lines and 35% to the Full House. That figure is a long-term statistical average measured across a very large number of games, and it does not describe what any individual game or session will do.

Taste & Feel

The pace is steady and predictable: a call roughly every four seconds, a game every five minutes, and a schedule that keeps the whole thing moving along to the clock. At that rate, the caller barely gets a second to clear its throat between numbers.

Everything else is traditional 90-ball, just with the Paddy Power theme stamped across it rather than the usual bingo-hall dressing.

If scheduled 90-ball bingo with three prizes in every game sounds like your sort of thing, the room is there whenever you fancy a look.
