Full House (Bingo)
In 90-ball bingo, the top prize awarded for being first to mark all fifteen numbers on a ticket.
Definition
A Full House is completed when every one of a 90-ball ticket's fifteen numbers has been called, and it is the largest of the three standard prizes (line, two lines, full house). It is usually the last prize won in a game and is often the trigger point for any linked progressive jackpot if achieved within a set number of calls. Because it is the headline prize, it is frequently the marketing focus of a game, but the pooled prize is still funded by ticket sales after the operator's margin, so on average players receive back less than they pay in. Winners are validated automatically online or by claim-and-check in physical halls.
Worked example
With 45 numbers called, the last player needing one number to complete all fifteen marks it and wins the full house; had it come within, say, 40 calls, a progressive jackpot might also have paid out.
Why it matters
The full house is the reference point for how bingo prizes escalate and how jackpots are gated by call counts; learners grasp prize hierarchy and professionals see the hook that drives session engagement.
