In the traditional bingo game, played in bingo clubs, players mark off the numbers on their tickets, using a pen called a bingo dabber, as numbered balls are randomly drawn by a caller until a winner is declared. The winner is the first person to mark off all the numbers on their ticket according to the designated winning patterns.

Our online version of bingo is played very much in the same way, the main differences being that a new game starts every few minutes, all day every day, and that you can set up all your own game environment preferences.

To play you must log in, have adequate funds in your account and buy at least one ticket. 

The Club Selector

At Galabingo.com you will find a choice of clubs with different games and promotions running at different times so whenever you log in you can be sure to find the bingo game that suits you. Simply choose a club from the Club Selector page by clicking on the Play Now button.

All online clubs offer the same features and game options but have different opening hours; the Gala Clubs City, Country, Seaside, Royal, Castle and Sharon, however, are open every day, 24 hours a day.

A Club Selector button is available within each club above the Chat window to allow you move from one to another without having to log out.

Linked Clubs

In particular occasions and for particular games, we may link two or more Bingo clubs together and all players within the Linked Clubs will be able to participate to the same game from their favourite club.
Linked Clubs will be clearly marked within the Lobby.
Players will be able to buy tickets and advanced tickets for Linked Clubs games only from one club. 
Winning claims will be announced in all Linked Clubs, and the winning tickets will be available for all participating players to see.
Should two or more players share a valid claim, winnings will be split among the relevant players and credited immediately in their accounts regardless of the fact that they may be playing from different clubs.

Please note: players participating in a Linked Club game will be able to chat only to players within the same club.

The tickets

Each individual grid of numbers is referred to as a Ticket. Tickets are 3 rows by 9 columns.
Each row contains 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces.

The strips

Six consecutively numbered tickets on the same card are referred to as Strips. Each Strip contains all 90 numbers distributed throughout the tickets.  Therefore, the player who buys a Strip will cross off a number at each call.

Winning patterns and prizes

Normally, the three winning patterns are One Line, Two Lines and Full House; however, in certain games we may not offer all patterns.

To claim One Line, you need to mark off all the numbers on a single horizontal line on any one of your tickets. To claim Two Lines, you must mark off all the numbers on two horizontal lines of the same ticket.

You have a Full Housewhen you mark off all numbers on any one of your tickets.
Prizes for each winning pattern vary depending on ticket prices and number of participants. However in certain games we may guarantee a minimum prize and offer additional jackpots. All prices and additional jackpots will be shown in the game information panel in the top left corner of your game screen.

When jackpots are offered in specific games, the amount is always clearly displayed in the game information panel in the top left corner of your game screen.

All winnings are credited to your account immediately after each valid claim.

Cash Climber

The cash climber jackpot can be won on all paid for 90 and 80 ball bingo games.  It is won by claiming the full house in 32 balls or under in 90-ball bingo and by claiming the full house in 31 balls or under in 80-ball bingo.  The jackpot will continue to increase until won and is displayed in the top left hand corner of the game screen when available.
The cash climber jackpot is funded through, but can also be won through game play on certain slot machines and games, where it is also referred to as the ‘Jackpot’.  These include but are not limited to Inca Trail, Sirens Treasure, Agent X, Footballers’ WAG, Pharaoh’s Chamber, Goldmine, Cross Court Tennis, Champions League, World Cup, Sheerluck Holmes, Magic Potion, Jupiter’s Jackpot, and Frutti Jackpot.   There is only one jackpot which may be won through game play on any of the above (please refer to individual games on how to achieve this). It is funded exclusively by customers playing on the Gala, Coral.co.uk and Eurobet.com websites.

High Five Games

High five games will be played for One Line, Two Lines and the Full House.

Should a High Five game be played in a Linked Club, tickets and advanced tickets may only be bought from one club.

To win half of the advertised Jackpot, you have to claim the Full House on number 5 or any number ending in 5 (15, 25, 35 etc.). The other half of the Jackpot will be split equally between all the players participating in the High Five game who are playing within the same club as you. If there are multiple winners, the winner’s share of the jackpot will be split among the number of valid winners.

All winnings will be immediately credited to the winners’ accounts.

Please note: the prizes for the 1 Line and the 2 Lines will be available as normal, as well as the prize for the Full House on any number apart from 5 or ending in 5.

One Or Two To Go Games

From time to time, in specific games, we may offer One To Go or Two To Go prizes.
In One To Go games, once a valid Full House has been claimed all players awaiting for one number will automatically be awarded the advertised prize.

In the same way, in Two To Go games, once a valid Full House has been claimed all players awaiting for two numbers will automatically be awarded the advertised prize. Players waiting for only one number will not be awarded the Two to Go prize.

You can win only one One To Go or Two To Go prize within 24 hours.
Should you be waiting for one or two numbers on more than one ticket in the same game, you will be awarded only one One To Go or Two To Go prize.

One To Go and Two To Go prizes will only be awarded if you have not won any other prize (1 Line, 2 Line or Full House) in that game.

Your Game Preferences

To set up all your game environment preferences, click on Preferences on the top navigation bar on the main screen.  This will display the Games Preferences window, which takes the following form: -

Customize the game by ticking the boxes corresponding to the various areas of the game. Preferences can be changed at any time and will be saved for the next time you log in.

To participate in a game of bingo you must buy at least one ticket.

The maximum amount of tickets you will be able to buy and the price for each individual ticket will vary depending on the game and will always be clearly displayed at the top of the ticket display area.

There are two ways to choose the tickets you wish to buy. You may either select the tickets of your choice (Select & Buy), or just select how many tickets you wish to buy and they will be randomly chosen for you (Quick buy).

Select & Buy Option

To choose your own tickets, rather than accept the random selection made by the system, you may click directly on a Ticket (to choose an entire Strip click anywhere at the top of the Strip).  Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view the Tickets available.
To select a Strip click at the top of the Strip where it says Strip ID: *******, to select an individual Ticket click at the side of the ticket you want where it says Available.

When you click on a Strip or Ticket the Select & buy window will automatically open. You may continue to select your Tickets up to the maximum number allowed in the game. Selected Tickets will be highlighted in yellow in the Ticket Viewing section.

If at any point in the ticket selection process you are not happy with the displayed tickets you can look at different sets of tickets by clicking on the Change Tickets button. Only the tickets you haven't already selected will change. You may deselect unwanted tickets by clicking on each one again. To deselect all tickets, click on Clear and start a new selection. When you click on Cancel you close the Select & buy window.
The Select & Buy screen takes the following format: -

Once you are happy with your selection, click on Purchase and then confirm your purchase by clicking on Confirm in the confirmation pop-up window. If you wish to change your selections click on Cancel instead.

Please note: ticket sales close 12 seconds before each game. A message will inform you that the ticket sales are closed. Just a few seconds later, however, tickets for the next game will be available.

Quick buy option

By clicking on the Buy Tickets button the Quick Buy window will automatically open.
Using the arrow buttons you may select the number of Strips or Tickets you wish to buy.
As you increase the number of selections, the corresponding Strips or Tickets chosen for you will be highlighted in yellow in the ticket viewing section. Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view all Strips and Tickets.

The details of your selection (price of each ticket, number of selected tickets and total price) will be updated below as you make your selections.

If you are happy with your selection, click on Purchase. To delete your selections, click on Clear and start a new selection. If you click on Cancel you close the Quick Buy window.
When you click on Buy a confirmation window will appear. Click on Confirm to confirm your purchase, or on Cancel to go back to the Quick Buy window and change your selection.

Advanced Ticket Purchase

The Advanced Tickets feature allows you to buy tickets for future games in any available club. Click on Advanced Tickets and select the club and the game for which you would like to buy tickets; then select the number of strips or tickets you wish to buy and click on Purchase.

Selecting Advanced Tickets displays the Advanced Tickets window, which takes the following format: -

To delete your selections, click on Clear and start a new selection. If you click on Cancel you close the Advanced Tickets window.

Once you are happy with your selection, click on Purchaseand then confirm your purchase by clicking on Confirm in the confirmation pop-up window.  If you wish to change your selections, click on Cancel instead.
You will not be able to change your tickets as this function works in the same way as Quick Buy.

All advanced tickets will appear in the Bet Slip window. The Bet Slip window is displayed when the Bet Slip tab is selected.

You will also be able to see your Bingo tickets from your List Of Bets as usual once they have been played, this allows you to see whether you have won sould you be playing in a different club when your Advanced Tickets are played.

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL TICKETS FOR FUTURE GAMES ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN PURCHASED.

The Game

Once you have bought your tickets you must wait for the game to start.

A new game starts every few minutes. The schedule and the details of the next games in every Gala Club can be viewed at any time by clicking on Times & Prices in the game information panel in the top left area of your game screen. You can use the drop down menu to select another Club.

In the game information panel you can also see the name of the current game, the number of participants and the prize for each winning pattern, including the progressive jackpot and any extra prizes.

Once the game starts, in the game display area at the top right of your screen, you will see each number as it’s drawn and marked off on the checklist.

You can change the volume in the club by using the volume control icon located below the History button in the top right of the screen. If you want to switch off only a certain part of the sound (e.g. the Caller or the Music) then you can click on the Advanced Sound Control icon on the left of the volume control icon.

Dabbing Your Numbers

You may dab your numbers manually or chose to have them dabbed automatically.
The automatic option is selected by default, but should you prefer to dab your numbers manually, click on Preferences and deselect the Auto Dab box.  For your convenience, an Auto Dab box will also appear above your tickets just before the game starts.  You may change dabbing mode during the game.

If you have chosen the manual dabbing mode, don’t worry if you fall behind. By clicking on the Catch up button, that appears above your tickets during the game, all called numbers will be dabbed automatically. All called numbers will be dabbed automatically also every time a valid claim is made.

Valid Games

Every time you complete a winning pattern (One Line, Two Lines, Full House) you can click on Claim. However, don’t worry if you don’t, your winnings will still be safe and a winner claim box will appear automatically on your screen. All other players will also be notified by a pop up box showing all details of your winning claim.

In the same way, as soon as any other player makes a valid claim, a box will pop up on your screen showing all details of the other players’ winning claim.

If you are on manual dabbing mode, the winner claim box will appear automatically when you have a valid claim, even if you didn’t dab any of the numbers on your ticket.

Disconnections

While playing online bingo it is possible to become disconnected from the game, but not to worry as our Card Manager will take over the dabbing for you. Should you win at any stage then claims will be automatically made and your account will then be updated with any winnings so you will never miss out!

Bingo Extra

Bingo Extra features six 3-step quick and easy mini-games to add even more excitement to your main Bingo game. The mini-games are linked to the Bingo draw that you are playing and cannot be played independently; therefore, to play you have to purchase at least one Bingo ticket to play Bingo Extra. To play Bingo Extra just click on the Bingo Extra icon above your Ticket window. Choose your favourite among the following:

Spot On – This game allows you to predict the colour of a ball. For instance, you could predict that the 3rd ball drawn will be yellow. This game allows you to bet on any of the first 15 balls and also the last ball drawn.

Numbers Up – This game allows you to predict the number of a ball drawn. For instance, you could predict that the 8th ball drawn will be number 73. This game allows you to bet on any of the first 15 balls and also the last ball drawn.

Lottery – This game has two options:

Any of the six appear:
Here you can predict 6 numbers to be drawn in the first 15 balls. If any of your chosen numbers appear, you will be paid out based on how many you correctly predicted. When placing a bet, the payout that you see is the potential payout if all 6 of your chosen balls are drawn. Once you have chosen this option you will not be allowed to bet on the other option ‘None of the six to appear’.

None of the six appear:
Here you can predict 6 numbers not to be in the first 15 balls drawn. Unlike the other option ‘Any of the six appear’ there is only one payout and that is if NONE of your chosen 6 balls appear within the first 15 balls drawn. Once you have chosen this option you will not be allowed to bet on the other option ‘Any of the six appear’.

Paintball – In this game you can predict the frequency of a colour appearing. You can predict:
None of your chosen colour will appear in the first 15 balls.
AT LEAST 1 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 2 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 3 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 4 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 5 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 6 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 7 of your chosen colour will appear
AT LEAST 8 of your chosen colour will appear

For example, you might want to predict that AT LEAST 2 balls of colour red will appear in the first 15 balls drawn.

Range Finder – In this game you can predict the sum total of the first 15 balls drawn. There are 3 options:

Low Range: 120-633
Mid Range: 634-717
High Range: 718-1245

For example, if the first 15 balls drawn are:

24,56,33,1,8,19,79,88,12,16,5,37,66,45,61

In The Mix – This game allows you to predict the frequency of a colour appearing in the first 15 balls drawn. This works differently from the game Paintball: there are only four betting options:

1) It will be the most drawn colour
2) It will not be the most drawn colour
3) It will be the least drawn colour
4) It will not be the least drawn colour

For example, if you wanted to predict that the colour green would not be the most drawn colour, you would select the second option.
