NEW ENHANCEMENTS TO BINGO75
CORNERS AND HOUSE

Following the launch of BINGO75 last November, MALTCO LOTTERIES Ltd. today announced new enhancements meant to make the game more in line with bingo lovers' preferences.

BINGO75 is played with a set of numbers from 1 to 75, out of which 55 numbers are drawn at random by means of a certified Random Number Generator as required by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority. Players may win in three categories, namely Corners, Snowball and House.

One of the two changes which effect the Corners category is that the player who first covers each of the numbers in the 4 corners of a grid wins the Corners category.
Moreover, players can now win this category within the first 55 numbers instead of the previously 30 numbers drawn.

Another significant change relates to the House category. If the House category is not won, the prize fund for that draw will now be added to the prize fund for the House category in the following draw instead of rolling over onto the Snowball category. PLUS, the PRIZE fund allocated to the HOUSE category is now BIGGER at 45% instead of the previous 20%.

These two fundamental changes mean that prizes for the CORNERS and HOUSE categories should be higher without the winning probabilities being altered.

"We listened to what players told us and our agents that they would like to see in BINGO75" said Mario Cassar, MALTCO LOTTERIES' General Director, "And these changes show MALTCO LOTTERIES' commitment to continue delivering outstanding value and service in a manner that is beneficial to all stakeholders within the regulatory parameters."

BINGO75 is a daily game with each ticket costing €3.00 consisting of five unique grids therefore giving each player five chances of winning in each draw.

Bingo75 is aired 'live' on SMASH television at 6.15p.m. with a repeat on CALYPSO television at 8.00p.m.
