Online housie games generally follow the same basic rules: the player attempts to fill a card with numbers to achieve Housie. Read on to find out more about online housie at Wildz.

Housie gameplay

The game of online housie, like slots, has different ways in which it is presented, but the basic game remains the same: There aren’t many rules, and they’re easy to pick up; since this is a game of chance there are no real strategies or tactics to use. All you need to do is buy your game cards, much like placing a wager, and then checking them off as the numbered balls selected by a Random Number Generator drop into play. Most online games auto check the results so you don’t need to spend time scanning your cards for a match. If you mark off all your numbers, or mark off the required pattern, then you’ll score a win.

After the first set of balls are dropped, some games allow the player to purchase additional balls for a wager. The price of additional balls varies according to how close the player is to achieving a win. For example, if a player is one ball away from reaching Housie, that ball will cost considerably more than if the player requires 5 balls to make Housie.

Online housie games can award bet multipliers if certain patterns are created on the housie cards and even trigger bonus games similar to those found in video slots. This adds an extra dimension of entertainment to the game of housie online.
