There are many patterns that can win you a bingo. If the particular game you are playing stipulates that you need to have a "vertical bingo" in order to win, you must form a straight vertical line on your bingo card. This will entail having five numbers align vertically on your bingo card. So, as the bingo balls are being called out, watch for a vertical line going from top to bottom on your bingo card!
Vertical bingos are very common because you can use the Bingo Free Space to get a bingo down the middle line. This means you only need to get four numbers down the middle and you'll be the first to win!
Playing for a vertical bingo is one of the traditional 5-in-a-Row bingo patterns and one of most regular bingo player's favorites.
