888ladies again

I don’t know if you’ve taken a peek at 888ladies bingo, but they’ve been dressing up in shiny new clothes over the past few weeks, and the site is looking really hot right now.

Not only do they now openly display all the chunky online bingo jackpots available, but you can see a full schedule of big bingo games for every day of the week, which gives us bingo fans the freedom to plan ahead and make sure we can prebuy our tickets for the juiciest bingo jackpot games.

And there’s an awful lot of jackpots up for grabs nowadays at 888ladies bingo which makes it a thrilling place to play bingo online. The recently introduced daily free bingo game is also a very appealing draw for new and old players alike, as there’s a very decent pot of £300 cash up to be won every single day - and the bingo tickets are absolutely free!

The new Wink Bingo Event Diary

A great new feature has been added to the WinkBingo site, a daily event diary. Directly accessible from the front page, players will now be able to find out at a glance what online bingo goodies and treats are available for the day.

A really simple idea but incredibly effective. A proper scheduler is a must for any follower of online bingo games, as the demands of players are great. With the extreme competitiveness of the UK bingo sites at the moment, bingo fans are flitting from site to site and looking out for the big jackpot games.

With the addition of the event diary at Wink Bingo, it’ll be much easier to keep track of what’s happening and when, an extra insurance for players who don’t want to miss out on that big bingo game jackpot!

I for one am very glad that they’ve finally got a schedule. Another bingo site recently that’s clarified its bigger jackpot games at least, is 888ladies. Again, this can only have a positive effect on the site, as all the information you need is at your fingertips.

In spite of being very capable multi-taskers, and able to play bingo games and instant games simultaneously plus a ton of other things too, bingo fans need to know what’s happening so that we can adjust our schedules accordingly. So well done to the Wink Bingo crew once again for stepping up to the mark and making our lives easier and more fun too!

888ladies bring on the free bingo!

Wow am I excited to hear about the launch of a daily free bingo game at 888ladies - cool bananas! 888ladies is another one of my fave bingo sites, mainly because they’ve been around for a while, and also I just love their unique name of their site - no need to include a ‘bingo’ - everyone just knows! Pretty cool if you ask me.

Anyway, on to the main theme of the day, the brand new free bingo games at 888ladies. These are scheduled to play once a day at 7pm in the 75 Bubbly Bingo room. Bingo tickets are absolutely free and you can grab a strip of 6 for each game. You can also pre-purchase your tickets for the next game as soon as the clock hits 7.01pm, to make sure you don’t miss out on any free bingo action.

During the week the free bingo game jackpots are set at a guaranteed £300, pretty hot for a free bingo game, eh?! And at the weekend the jacks shoot up to £500 a pop!!!

RNG

If you are used to playing bingo at a bingo hall you might find a few differences in the online bingo world. You know that bingo halls allow you to keep the same cards for each game, or you can change them for new cards pretty much as you like. However, the online bingo cards work in a different way, as they are tied to the random number generator, or RNG, which is why you need new cards for each new game of bingo online.

The random number generator powers the computer software so that the bingo balls are offered in a random fashion. This programme is based on algorithms. The online bingo cards use a similar random generator, and each time you join a game of bingo online, new bingo cards are created at random.
The reason you can’t keep playing with the same bingo cards in online bingo is that it would throw the RNG off balance, either giving you an unfair advantage or could even hinder your playing, so every player receives new randomly generated bingo cards at the start of each fresh game of bingo online to keep everything fair and as random as possible.

Another thing to keep in mind when talking about the probability of winning and online bingo cards is that most players will play the maximum number of cards per game, so your chances of winning will increase with every bingo card you purchase. Just remember that your online bingo buddies will be doing exactly the same, keeping it a pretty even playing field.

You will want to take advantage of learning the different techniques of purchasing online bingo cards, which we will explore in further articles. Any advantage you can gain in the game of bingo online means you will succeed more often in winning the jackpots. In spite of bingo being a game of luck there are still strategies to increase your winning chances when purchasing your bingo cards to play bingo online.

Pre-purchasing online bingo tickets

Online bingo has evolved incredibly over the past few years, and it’s become one of those hobbies that moves fluidly with the times. Each individual online bingo site stores an awesome amount of data about how us online bingo players play bingo, and analysing the figures makes for a powerful tool to adapt or strengthen existing marketing strategies.

The UK online bingo scene is full to the brim, even though you’ll find a new bingo site popping up every now and again, competition among the industry is fierce. There are literally 100’s of great online bingo sites to choose from, each offering juicier bingo bonuses and bigger bingo jackpots than the next.

So what effect does this have on the average online bingo player when you’ve got so much choice of where to play bingo online and not enough time?

Lucky for us, the online bingo sites have already adapted to this. How? By giving us the freedom to play multiple online bingo games at many different bingo sites at the same time, with the pre-purchase option.

Pre-buying your bingo tickets gives you so much more freedom as an online bingo player and as a real person too, no need to rearrange your personal life to fit in with your online bingo schedule, it really couldn’t be better!

And perhaps the very best thing about pre-purchasing your bingo cards, is that now you can play all those huge jackpot bingo games on a Friday night without having actually having to be at any one of them - pure genius!!!

The Bingo Doctor Raffle

A man goes to the doctor. The doc checks him over, and says “Sorry mate, but you have yellow 24, a nasty virus, so-called as it turns your blood yellow and you only have 24 hours to live. There’s nothing I can do for you - just go home and enjoy your final precious moments on earth.”So back he trudges home to wifey, and breaks the news. Distraught, she asks him to accompany her to bingo that evening so he can experience her idea of a night out, as he’s never been there before.

He gets his 1st card, and wins 4 corners - prize £350, and then gets any line and wins £3200. He also calls for a full house - and wins a grand. The national grid comes up and he wins a further £380,000.

The Bingo Caller gets him on stage, and says “Son - I’ve never seen you in here in all my life, but you won 4 corners, any line, full house & the national grid - I’ve never met anyone so lucky.”

“Lucky??” the man replies, “lucky? I’ll have you know I’ve got yellow 24.”

“Dear me,” says the bingo caller with a chuckle, “you’ve won the bloody raffle as well!”?

Mother’s Day on Sunday

This Sunday has gotta be one of the best days of the year to play bingo online, Mother’s Day, and if you want quality bingo games, super hot bingo jackpots and a warm and friendly bingo community, then join me and the rest of the gang at Wink Bingo this weekend.

Yeah, I know I’m always going on about Wink, but it’s because I know from personal experience they’re a great bingo site and there’s always a new reason why I’m still playing there after all this time.

In my time I’ve played at countless internet bingo sites, but most of my online bingo activity takes place at Wink Bingo, basically because I love to play bingo there.

Throughout March it’s been Mum’s Day fever at Wink Bingo, with tons of Mum inspired bingo promotions aimed at letting our mums know how special they are. Mum’s the World bingo game runs daily with £150 JP’s up for grabs, haven’t managed to nab one yet but there’s still two weeks to go as yet… There’s also some cool Mother’s Day vouchers up for grabs, coupled with a BOGOF offer so you get double value for money!

One of the best things about Wink Bingo is the fantastic community spirit, and if you introduce your mum, daughter or grandma to register at Wink Bingo for the Mother and Daughter jackpot special, if either of them win a JP they both get paid!!! Keep it in the family at Wink Bingo, love it!

And of course the spectacular mother of all online bingo games on Sunday night @8pm with a supercool £5,000 bingo jackpot up for grabs. I’ve already bought my bingo tickets for the big game on Sunday (so has my mum), you should too, and don’t forget to bring your family with you!

Bingo Wife :)

A wife comes home at 3am, wearing an enormous diamond ring. Her husband meets her at the door and asks her where she got the ring
“I won it playing BINGO”?, she says, “run me a bath will you, I want to soak.”

The next night the wife comes home at 3am again, this time she’s wearing a beautiful fur coat. Again her husband meets her at the door and asks her where the coat came from.

“I won again at the BINGO”?, she says, “now be a darling and run me a bath will you?”?

The next night the wife gets home at 3am, this time driving a brand new convertible. Her husband meets her at the door and asks her where on earth she got the new car from.

“Can you believe it, I won it playing BINGO! Now run me a bath so I can relax.”?

She undresses, goes into the bathroom and then comes right back out. “Why did you only put one inch of water in the bathtub?” she asks.

“Well,”? her husband answers, “I didn’t want you to get your bingo card wet”

:))) made me feel I want to play online bingo ;)

Moon Bingo

Moon Bingo is one of those rare internet bingo sites that has a comparatively low profile, yet is incredibly popular among those in the know.

Moon Bingo has been around since 2003 and has built up a solid base of loyal online bingo players. Powered by the popular bingo software Globalcom, players at Moon Bingo get great performance with good graphics, top bingo games, and an easy to use interface.

There’s lots of yummy goodies on offer at Moon Bingo, including 20 free bingo cards on signup, plus 100% bonus on 1st deposit and 50% bonus on all reloads. So nothing too outstanding bonus-wise, but maybe that’s because their bingo games are top notch.

You’ll find daily progressive jackpot bingo games where you can treat yourself to both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo games, or have a quick spin on one of the many progressive slots in the instant games section. Plus things really hot up at the weekend, with a £1 Million Coverall bingo game every Friday night with a guaranteed £1500 min. jackpot.

In my experience, when you find a good online bingo site, you stick with it. And I think this is where Moon Bingo has come up trumps. It’s pretty obvious that the folks at Moon Bingo treat their members really well, and that bingo fans flock there to simply enjoy the bingo fun and games. Well done to all you guys and gals at Moon Bingo!

The world of online bingo

Are you new to the world of online bingo? If you are feeling a bit lost then don’t worry, there are many online bingo guide sites to help you. The very first thing you need to decide is where to play bingo online, and we would recommend starting your online bingo action with a safe, trusted and established bingo website such as Wink Bingo – perfect for newbies to bingo, a really friendly and helpful bingo community with lovely Chat Hosts and many other bingo players ready to help if you get stuck, plus a cool £15 Free no deposit bonus you can use to try out all the bingo games first at no cost to yourself.

The biggest and best thing about bingo online is that it’s a very social game – but there’s absolutely no pressure on you to be social if you’re not in the mood, or are a bit intimidated by all the goofy gossip in the bingo online chat rooms. It’s always your choice to join in or not. You can just login and play bingo online without using the chat feature – but you can still watch other people chatting, which is a great way to learn the bingo lingo and the many shortcuts that bingo buddies use to communicate. However you’d be missing out on a lot of fun, not to mention the great bingo chat games, and the chance to make new friends playing bingo online.

So, you’ve chosen a good site to play at, you’ve been reading the chats of other bingo players, and you’ve played your £15 Free – you might even have hit a bingo jackpot in which case you’ll find other players congratulating you – it’s always nice to say thanks, and you’ll find that bingo players are always cheering each other on, so it’s a great way to plunge into the chat feature and start making new bingo buddies.

The next thing you’ll want to do is fund your bingo account – Wink Bingo offer a wide variety of payment options, so you should have no problem choosing the method that suits you best. Simply fund your online bingo account and then you’re ready to purchase bingo cards – you can always choose from a selection, so you can pick lucky numbers, or just go with the flow. The more bingo cards you buy for a bingo game the better your chances of winning, but this also depends on the number of people in the bingo game. At Wink Bingo you can buy bingo cards for as little as 5p, which means you can play online bingo to your heart’s delight without spending a ton of cash.

Traditional British bingo is played with 90 balls, and these tickets are sold in strips. But if you buy bingo tickets for a 75 ball game you can buy single bingo tickets. Both games are played differently, there’s 3 chances to win in 90 ball bingo and generally just one chance in 75 ball bingo. The more you play the more you’ll find out which type of bingo game suits you best. At any time if you don’t understand the rules just ask for help, the guys at Wink Bingo offer superb online help, and also Chat Room help – all you have to do is ask, and enjoy the bingo fun!

Interesting Game on Wink Bingo

WINKBINGO.COM LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE 'PLAY OFF' BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH TO WIN A MINI COOPER

Wink Bingo is proud to announce that for the first time ever, two dedicated bingo fans will decide their own fate by choosing their own lucky numbers to take part in an online bingo 'play off' for a chance to speed off in a brand new Mini Cooper.

People will be able to log on to Winkbingo.com at 8:30pm on Sunday 22nd February to watch the North South divide as Joanna Kane from Werneth, Oldham in Lancashire and Christine Tulley from Toot Hill, Swindon in Wiltshire battle it out for a brand new set of wheels.

Joanna, 36 and mum of two, couldn't believe her luck when she was told she was one of the two joint winners out of 8,000 players who took part in Winkbingo.com's Mini Cooper bingo game on New Year's Day. "I've never won anything in my life," gushed Joanna, "luck just doesn't happen to me, but if I play with my lucky numbers 9 and 11 on Sunday, the day I passed my driving test and my kids' birthdays, I may be proven wrong!"

Joanna originally fell in love with Winkbingo.com last October and hasn't looked back. "Winkbingo.com gives me the perfect opportunity to take a break from work, house-hold chores and the kids," says Joanna, "especially since I can play in the comfort of my own living room. Winkbingo.com's chat hosts are really friendly and their individual games are great fun too, I've even made some great new friends."

Christine Tulley, 51, mum of two and grandma of three had been playing for six months - she was often on a winning streak winning a string of small prizes which really spurred her on to keep playing, so much so that she too became an overjoyed winner out of 8,000 players, in the New Years Day Mini Cooper game. I always believed that magic could happen to me at Winkbingo.com, says Christine, "let's just hope the tarot reader who gave me my lucky numbers, 1,7, 8, 17, 35 and 44 really is for real and I may just get to win the Mini Cooper in Sunday's game!"

Christine has been a fan of online bingo ever since she began working at the local bingo hall where she remained for 15 years. "It's expensive to go to bingo halls now though" says Christine, "and why bother when you can stay at home and have even more fun playing bingo online with Winkbingo.com? It's such a fun and friendly site and really easy to use too. I feel secure with Winkbingo.com and love the fact that I can chat so much to other bingo fans too."

Whether choosing to don their heels and coats to play their favourite game in bingo halls or choosing to relax in their pyjamas and slippers to play online, up until now bingo players have been given a card full of numbers and their chance of shouting "full house" has been left entirely to lady luck.

Maurice Karpes, Marketing Director at Winkbingo.com says, "The fact that we are allowing our two lucky players to choose their own numbers and play a part in their own fate makes our exclusive Mini Cooper game so exciting. We've also created a way for friends and family to watch so that they can offer their support, we're sure other bingo fans will be interested too - may the luckiest player win!"
