In Italy tombola is a very common family game played at Christmas, similar to bingo, the English version so popular in the United Kingdom, Ireland and, under many forms, all around the world. In Italy at Christmas Eve playing tombola is a must, with all the relatives united around grandparents and small children shouting when they win a prize (adults usually don't call a prize if there are children around, to let them win).

Modern tombola

Modern tombola cards are in plastic and have on the numbers small plastic slots that can be closed down when the number is called, but traditionally they were closed by beans ('fagioli') or by pieces of orange peel, that you had to eat while playing. Fix a price for each card (ex. 1 dollar). The players buy the cards, and one of the players buys the 'cartellone .

How to play

  • Bingo Gamepoint. Super Mega Solitaire. Solitaire Frontier. Grab your card and get ready to shout 'Tombola!'.
  • TRADITIONAL ITALIAN BINGO: Tombola is the Italian game of chance, a centuries-old bingo-style lottery game with even more chances to win! It's a popular game amongst large groups of friends and family gatherings HOW TO PLAY: Pass each player a Tombola card. Pick a tombolone, or announcer.
The money from the sale of the cards is divided into five prizes, from lowest to highest, with tombola being the jackpot:
  • the 'ambo', two numbers on the same row
  • the 'terno', three numbers on the same row
  • the 'quaterna', four numbers on the same row
  • the 'cinquina', five numbers on the same row
  • the 'tombola', all numbers on the card
Then the one who has the cartellone takes the numbers out of the sack, one at a time, calling them loudly, and placing them on their box in the cartellone, and leaving time to the players to mark the number on their card.

What you need to play

  • a tabellone with squares containing all numbers from 1 to 90;
  • numbered cards, all of them different, each one containing blank squares and 15 squares containing random numbers, arranged in three rows, each containing five numbers; this cards are bought by the players

There are so many online bingo sites that it's hard to know where to even begin sometimes. If you're new to the game, or even new to it online then how do you choose? I recommend checking out as many as possible to find the one that suits you best.

I have previously looked at the benefits of playing at Mecca Bingo online. Today I'm going to go through the advantages of playing bingo online at Tombola in my review of the website.

You may already be familiar with Tombola. Tombola Arcade sponsors I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in the UK so it's already a bit hit. However, you only need one account to access both the bingo and the Arcade. Tombola Bingo is part of the same family but, you guessed it, just focuses on bingo. It is also Britains biggest bingo site. So what makes it so special with so many of its loyal bingo customers?

Exclusive Tombola Games

Unique to Tombola is a whole range of bingo games with a twist. ‘Blocks' was their first newly designed game and it's a treat. Rather than multiple bingo tickets, you purchase one grid of 36 coloured squares. The idea is to be the first to eliminate six blocks of the same colour from a grid. The first person to do that wins. There is a second cash prize for the player with the highest accumulated points on their grid at that point.

Cinco bingo is based on a deck of cards. There are 52 cards instead of traditional bingo balls. Each bingo ticket is represented by five playing cards. As the cards are drawn they are marked off each of your hands. The first person to match all five of their cards wins.

Plus there are a whole range of other games including Rollercoaster Bingo, Worlds Daily and Pulse Bingo. So for a fresh twist on online bingo Tombola is the place to play.

Range Of Monthly Promotions

When your entire site is dedicated to bingo it's easy to see why there are so many promotions on offer. Which is exactly why Tombola has nine or ten offers on the go at any time. From extra spins in the Tombola Arcade to links games and boosted jackpots. There is always a little something extra available.

And don't ever worry about missing out. Tombola is excellent at customer communication and will regularly drop you a text or an email to let you know when the big jackpots are up for grabs.
