Jackpot Joy – Play Along With the ALL NEW Red or Black?

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Once again Jackpot Joy Bingo has landed itself with a coup. This is an exclusive e-partnership deal with ITV and the brand new Simon Cowell inspired suite of games – Red or Black? These games have been launched at the site, there are four in total on offer, and as this is an elite deal, there is also an elite promotion taking place at the same time. Players can win a share of 1,000,000 Joy Points by playing along with the hit TV show. One million Joy Points is worth £10,000 in cash.

Jackpot Joy Bingo has also teamed up with Dominos Pizza this month to offer a super promotion which lasts till the 17th of September. We will let you into a small secret; they are not the only UK bingo site, offering the same promotion. However it’s true, nothing goes better with a game of bingo than a great take-away pizza, so, the site brings you the fun, while Dominoes delivers the munchies. Save £10 on any orders of £25 or more by placing your order online and using a voucher code. They will deliver direct to your door, so you don’t need to miss a spin, and the best thing about this mouthwatering voucher, is it can be used more than once…

£25,000 must be won on Friday the 30th September, 2011, at 10pm. This is the game which celebrates the Queen of Bingo’s first glorious year of reign at Jackpot Joy Bingo. It is a once-off £25,000 Coronation Special, 90 Ball Bingo Game, with a £4,000 prize for One Line, £6,000 for two Lines and a mahoosive £15,000 prize for the winner of the Full House. The game is not to be missed, it is worth becoming a member to play and bingo tickets cost only £1 each.

Foxy Bingo – Your Favourite Furball Releases a Perfume

Monday, May 30th, 2011

foxybingo468x60 Foxy Bingo – Your Favourite Furball Releases a Perfume

We know that Foxy gets up to all kinds of tricks when left alone too long in his den, with all too little to do. His latest trick does not really have a great deal to do with Foxy Bingo, although we might find it as prizes – the site must be running well!

It reminds me of my brother when we were small; if I ever smelled something bad and say “eeeuuuw…something stinks”, he would say to me…”a fox smells its own hole”! Let’s hope the fabulous fox’ latest endeavour does not smell like a fox hole? If you have guessed right about what he has been getting up to, he has been blending his very own perfume.

The strange thing about humanity is; we have this very odd way of washing off all our own pheromones by constant bathing or showering. Thereafter we are only to willing to daub our bodies with animal musk blended with floral or spicy notes. In other words – perfume. The new perfume from Foxy is suitably named “Furtastic”, and one should therefore assume that if you fancy smelling Furtastic, this is the perfume to buy? Whether it smells like a Fox hole or not is beyond me to tell and I am not about to give it a try at £19.99 a bottle? Although, I don’t mind a game of Foxy Bingo!

Lauren Goodger has agreed to be the face of the fragrance and I remember at one time when Katy Price was the face of Foxy Bingo, so this is not altogether odd. But I can’t help to stop and wonder, whether the development of a perfume, by a fox that apparently runs a bingo site, is going to be an altogether good thing. Personally, I believe he should stick to what he does best and that is – offer online bingo.

David Cameron Wants the Entire UK Online – Good News for Online Bingo

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

The fact that the UK government wants everyone in the land online by 2012 is by no means a David Cameron and Coalition Government initiative solely. This has been the plan for a number of years, and the plan can only bode well for the ISP as well as the online bingo industry. However, as part of the current governments’ initiatives to get the job done; reconditioned computers costing less than £100 have actually gone on sale today. So, how about it – do you fancy a go at your favourite game and learning to play online?

Martha Lane Fox – the government’s sweetheart “interwebulator” has also being trying to convince about 9 million people in the UK to connect to the net. Perhaps all she needs to really get done; is make sure of her selling points – online bingo could certainly be one; although we doubt that the government would be in complete agreement. Ms. Lane Fox has been zealously recruiting digital champions, and both the public and private sector has offered her the use of 100 000 volunteer employees to help get millions more adults online before the 2012 London Olympics.

Workers from BT, John Lewis, Post Office, Telco, Comet and of course Mecca Bingo, will all be put at her disposal as a digital champion volunteer force. Cameron has also intimated that he would love to make the UK; the very first nation to have everybody in the land online. It is his feeling that something many of us take for granted should be able to be enjoyed by ALL!

Remploy is reemploying, refurbishing and reselling a low-cost kit that starts at £92; comes with flat screen monitor, mouse, and keyboard; is loaded with an os and an Office package. Including…wait for it…warranty, telephone support and delivery. Lane Fox is understandably excited. There are already a whole slew of low cost internet options available and until now, the cost of the hardware seems to have been the main problem

Irish Rehab Bingo Launches UK Facing Site With the Face of Mary Byrne

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Rehabbingo468x60 Irish Rehab Bingo Launches UK Facing Site With the Face of Mary Byrne

The Rehab Charity is an Irish charitable concern, and this well known charitable organization has been using online bingo as means for raising funds, since it launched an online bingo site in 2005. This site is so successfully raising funds that they recently launched a British facing site. Not very long ago Mary Byrne was an X Factor runner up and now she is also the new face of Rehab Bingo.

Online bingo sites in the UK and all of the British Isles have regularly used famous faces to substantiate the credibility of their sites. 888 Ladies Bingo still uses Vic Reeves and at one time Gala Bingo used Sharon Osbourne. In fact there is still a Gala Bingo subsidiary site called Sharon’s Bingo. In fact as a once-off, Gala Bingo also used President Barak Obama’s step-mother to raise funds for their charity of choice. Katie Price was the face of Foxy Bingo, but that went away a long time ago and now Foxy has a lot more famous friends. Russell Grant is regularly seen at online bingo sites; he is the star gazer of the stars.

While Mary Byrne may not have been the X Factor face which launched a thousand ships or CD’s, she is certainly star material in her home country of Ireland. That she has taken the time to also become the face of bingo – and for charitable reasons is actually very clever. What players at this site see is an ordinary person who became a winner over night, and like DJ talent at BOGOF Bingo; perhaps this marketing approach is more practical for online bingo, than actually going for the “BIG Star” faces, names and in the case of Katie Price; some other rather large body parts!

888.Com – Gigi Levy to Say Goodbye?

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

We are not really sure whether this comes as good news or not to 888.com Group, but it appears that Operational Chairman – Gigi Levy is about to step down. He has been at the helm of this massive online gambling brand since we first started to write about gambling online, and they have been rather prominent in the news with not such great results for the past year, or a little while longer. This was one of the large already established companies to turn their sights to the UK when UIGEA was promulgated in the USA.

Gigi Levy has been considered to be this company’s guiding light, although it appears that he is leaving them in good standing for the future. 888.com has been taking a lot of pressure from the press with regards to a possible merger/takeover with Ladbrokes PLC.   Ladbrokes is not the only big brand name that has made a bid for the 888 business – they have also been courted by Playtech. Just last year 888 managed to acquire a small online bingo network which has performed out of all proportion for them; this is the Joy of Bingo Network, comprising Wink, Posh, Redbus and Tasty Bingo. They have a B2B bingo network under the Dragonfish brand and provide various other bingo sites with their software under their Cassava business label.

Their results were not as good as they could have been due to a diminished interest in their big online poker brand, but thanks to the launch of a new poker product, this has all changed now. According to reports received, Gigi Level will be available for the next 6 months to handover to a new CEO and he will remain on the board of 888.com. Of course the next big question is – who will the next CEO be?

Microgaming Bingo – New April Launches

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Microgaming is an online gambling game software development company with one of the most aggressive rollouts of online slots and other games. While I have never really been a huge fan of their bingo sites – admittedly their slots and casino games are the best by far and they offer the widest range of games. They have recently also launched two new online bingo products; these are Mayan Bingo and Electro Bingo.
Mayan Bingo is a brand new way to play bingo – it is fast, exciting game play, which offers a chance at huge winnings. This is South American-styled bingo site which challenges players to match a set of prize patterns with the numbers on their bingo cards. It also offers any player lucky enough to match a full card in the first 28 balls called, a top prize of x 50000. Be one ball (1TG) away from any winning pattern and this game offers you the chance to buy up to10 extra balls.
Electro Bingo is also fast and exciting, just like most bingo games and this new offering comes with a similar format to Mayan Bingo. The aim of the game is to match numbers with prize patterns in much the same way. Complete it all within 30 ball calls and win up to multiples of x 20000! Again extra balls may be purchased in order to complete a pattern, but only when you have 1TG!
There are also a number of new slots releases; Asian Beauty soon to be available through Microgaming’s Flash and Casino in Bingo platforms, as well as through Quickfire, which is a new multi-platform software. There is multi-player “No Worries” an Aussie themed slot, 300 Shields which is an Ancient Greece themed slot, while in March we saw Party Island, The Eagles Wing and a new Retro Reels game – Extreme Heat.

468x60bingosbanner Bingos.co.uk – One Winner Gets Really Lucky!!

One lucky lady from Kent who goes by the alias “Bargit2″ has been playing at Bingos.co.uk for 6 years now, and patience as well as loyalty obviously pays off. She took a lucky 50p spin on the mini-game Pet Luck Slot, and landed an amazing £55, 102, 26 prize! I am always telling you that just because a game is called “mini” this does not elude in any way to the size of the prizes they offer and this winner is one of the many winners that proves this again!

The Pet Luck Slot is a Progressive Jackpot Prize game and it is won when a player reels in five dogs on the right pay-line; you could call them money mutts if you like. These doggies definitely pay out and now “Bargit2″ has a brand new car, a holiday and pressies for the family planned with her bingo windfall.

Join Bingos.co.uk today and receive £25 free when you make your first deposit of £10. There are a load of fabulous fun promotions and as we are currently still in the throes of getting over St. Paddy’s Day celebrations, you might still get lucky with Irish themed games and promotions. In the meantime I want to you consider this.

Las Vegas churches are now accepting casino gambling chips and it may come as a surprise to you that there are more Catholic Churches in the City of Sin than there are casinos. It is also therefore not surprising to find that many worshipers pop a casino chip into the collection basket. So as Churches receive so many different chips from various casinos these are sent to one collection point. The chips are sent to a Franciscan monastery nearby whose monks sort them and take them to the casino for cashing in. This is done by the “Chipmonks”. Got you, I was going to save that for April Fool’s Day, but I just couldn’t resist – LOL.
