The Many faces of Online Bingo
Bingo is one of the most popular online cash games around today, with an estimated 100 million people logging in to their favorite bingo sites worldwide to play on a regular basis. One of the biggest attractions about playing bingo online is that there’s always a game about to start, as the sites operate a round the clock schedule.
The other big draw when playing bingo online is the vast variety of games that the different sites have on offer. Many bingo sites try to attract players by introducing new and catchy games. Important online bingo brands like bgo, Winner Bingo and Sky Vegas all invest in continuous stream of new and innovative games. For example, when you play bingo online with Winner, there’s a wide selection of bingo games available to play including TV tie-ins such as Deal or No Deal Bingo or Britain’s Got Talent Bingo.
Britain’s Got Talent bingo game has the standard one line, two line and full house prizes, but there are also three bonus prizes, one of which has a £250 top prize. When you buy your tickets, you choose three lucky numbers and if the one line, two line or full house prize is won with your lucky number, you’ll win a cash prize. This could be the Buzzer Bonus at £1, the Audience Award at £15 or the Judges’ Jackpot at £250. It adds an extra level of excitement to the game when you know your choice of lucky numbers could scoop you an extra prize.
Deal or No Deal Bingo is obviously linked with the TV game show. And even if you don’t scoop the jackpot yourself, your vote could help determine what amount the winner will get. There’s a network jackpot of £10,000 to play for, and the ultimate winner is the player who gets to open the lucky box.
It’s a 90 ball bingo game and as each number is called, the matching box is eliminated from the game. As a player is first to declare a line, two lines or full house, they win cash prizes. After full house has been won, the game moves on to the Deal or No Deal feature stage. The full house caller will receive a call from the banker, who makes an offer for the box. The rest of the players need to then vote on whether it’s a good idea for the winner to accept the offer. But the final decision rests with the full house winner – will it be Deal or No Deal?
For something quite different, there are also bingo slots, which are a cross between a bingo game and a slot game. Marine Mayhem is just one example; it has a progressive jackpot and is a multiplayer game. There are extra prizes up for grabs for the top ten point scorers in the 3-6 minute game. In the game, you spin the reels hoping to land winning combinations which give you cash prizes, but at the same time you will be scoring points that count towards the community jackpot. As with most bingo games, there’s also a chat window where you can interact with other players, so this bingo slot is as sociable as a normal online bingo game.
It’s the combination of accessibility, ease of play and variety that makes online bingo so universally popular. With new games being introduced all the time, the world’s bingo-playing population is likely to keep on growing.
