You should try Bingo Hortinha for its simple rules yet exciting gameplay at Mecca Bingo. As one of the most popular bingo variants in Europe, it offers new twists to the classic game while keeping the social atmosphere. With multiple game modes, room options, and prize types, Bingo Hortinha appeals to both seasoned bingo fans and newcomers.

Rules and Basics

The basics of Bingo Hortinha are easy to grasp. Players purchase cards with 24 numbers arranged in a 4×6 grid. As numbers are called, players mark matching numbers on their cards. The first to complete a winning pattern shouts “Bingo!” and wins the prize. Standard winning patterns include one line, two lines, and a full house.

Each game has multiple winning combinations possible, not just the first full house. This allows more players to win each round. Players can purchase multiple cards to increase their odds in each game. Most rooms also offer auto-daub and auto-purchase features for convenience.

Cards and Ticket Types

Bingo Hortinha cards contain 24 numbers ranging from 1 to 90, with no repeats on a single card. Players can purchase different card combinations to suit their budget and desired odds:

1. Single tickets with 1 card
2. Multi-pack tickets with 2-6 cards
3. Combo tickets with various patterns playable

Combo tickets offer the best value as they allow players to win on more patterns. Cards are generated randomly, but players can choose packs with consecutive or distributed number groupings.
