Printable Housie tickets & hosting guide

Housie is also known as bingo. This guide uses BingoMint’s existing 90-ball tickets for a called number activity, with the target announced before play. Local names and house rules can differ; agree on your group’s rules first.

The editor asks before replacing an existing draft. Choose card count and paper in Print; saved output versions are kept.

Sample arrangement · Your generated batch has its own fixed cards.

The ticket used here

BingoMint uses its 90-ball format: three rows, nine columns and 15 numbers, with five numbers in each row. The other 12 squares are blank. Columns hold 1–9, 10–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79 and 80–90, in ascending order down each column. Blanks are not free spaces.

Independent tickets or a complete strip

Independent tickets are generated separately and can share numbers. In Six-ticket strips mode, each consecutive group of six tickets covers 1–90 exactly once. Print counts 1–166 groups (6–996 tickets) and keeps each full strip on one PDF page. Added groups keep the original tickets and continuous card numbers.

Announce and check the target

The local caller supports one line (all five numbers in one row), two lines (two complete rows on one ticket) or full house (all 15 numbers on one ticket). These are the targets supported here, rather than every local Housie variation. Rows from separate tickets cannot be combined.

  1. Choose the target and explain simultaneous claims before calling. Give everyone their printed tickets.
  2. Call unused numbers from 1–90 and record them. Players mark matching numbers on their tickets.
  3. Pause for a claim and check the required numbers against the call record. The host confirms the paper ticket. Start a new round with its target announced.

Print and keep the same tickets

Open the independent-ticket or six-ticket-strip preset, set the quantity and paper in Print, then Generate and Export PDF. Enable card numbers if the host needs references. Check one page at Actual size. Saved outputs and editable backups preserve the original arrangements. The caller and its display use the same browser and device; start a new game from an extended batch to include added tickets.

Common questions

Does this add a separate Housie generator?

No. Both entry buttons use the existing 90-ball generator and the same editor, frozen batches, PDF and backups.

Can the caller check Early Five or other local targets?

The 90-ball caller checks one line, two lines and full house. Other targets need the organizer’s own checking; explain those rules before play.

Does this tool run cash or prize games?

BingoMint supplies printable files and local hosting tools. It does not run cash games or certify a card series for regulated Housie. The linked official source describes Housie in its own jurisdiction; this page describes the tool’s supported format.
