Professional Bingo Ball Specifications - Size, Color and Compatibility Guide

Choosing the right bingo ball requires matching three factors: size, colour preference, and cage compatibility. The full Mr. Chips ball range:

• EASY-READ 7/8-inch 5-colour balls - professional standard. The correct match for all Mr. Chips cage sets.

• Economy 3/4-inch white balls - smaller diameter, single-colour white, lower price point. Entry-level option.

• 12-sided bingo balls - each ball has 12 flat faces displaying different numbers. Used for specialty game variations and promotional events.

What Size Bingo Balls Do I Need for My Cage?

The correct ball size depends entirely on the cage you own. Mr. Chips standard 11-inch cages are built for 7/8-inch diameter balls, the EASY-READ series. If you own a mini bingo cage of approximately 6 inches or a jumbo cage using ping-pong balls, EASY-READ balls are not compatible. Always check your cage's ball size specification before ordering replacement bingo balls.

White vs. 5-Colour Bingo Balls - What Is the Difference?

White bingo balls are a single colour throughout, with black printed numbers and letters. They are simpler to produce and carry a lower price point, but players must read the letter and number carefully on each draw.

5-colour bingo balls assign one colour per column. B is blue, I is red, N is white, G is green, and O is yellow. Callers and players can confirm the column by colour before reading the number. This means faster visual verification, fewer disputed calls, and a better experience for players. Mr. Chips EASY-READ 7/8-inch balls are 5-colour as standard.

What Are 12-Sided Bingo Balls Used For?

12-sided bingo balls feature multiple flat faces, each showing a different number, rather than a single number on a round ball. They are used in specialty bingo formats, promotional games, and educational settings where a wider number range per ball or a different game mechanic is needed.
