  • Best Bingo Site? Putting YOUR money where their mouth is?

    By Lisa West on Thursday, 4th June 2009

    There are literally hundreds of Online Bingo websites out there.  If you are new to Online Bingo, how do you know which is the best?  After all, just about all of them claim to be the Best Bingo Site around!!  When it comes to publicity, you know what they say, don’t you?  Don’t believe the hype… but when your new to the circuit you’ve gotta start somewhere.  It all boils down to what you are looking for.  What’s perfect for one player, may not be so hot for another.  So, what is it you’re looking for?  

    First, take a look around and define exactly what appeals to you the most. Is it the Big Bingo Jackpots you’re after? Free Bingo? A No Deposit Bonus? Are you a team player?  Or do you like to ‘play it alone’?  All these points will matter.  Some Online Bingo websites will have a good selection of Side Games, others won’t.  It’s not about what they define as the Best Bingo Site, it’s what YOU define it as that matters.  Without doubt, a lot of Players are looking for the No Deposit Bonus, given when you sign up.  

    The reason for that?  Well, you might not like the games on offer, and a No Deposit Bonus gives you the perfect chance to try new games without throwing your own money away.  Another thing to check out?  Criteria. An Online Bingo Site that wraps its players up in knots with ‘wager requirements’ can send a person crazy!  But ultimately, the Best Bingo Site will offer a safe and secure environment for its players.  That means, secure payment, and a friendly Bingo Community.  Good luck!

  • Best Bingo Tips

    By Lisa West on Sunday, 11th October 2009

    Okay, so Bingo is, essentially, a game of luck.  Which, in its own wonderful way, means that everyone has the same chance of winning… or do they!  Now, while you might think ‘tampering’ with the odds is pretty much out of your control - apart from bringing along your ‘lucky charm’, or any other kind of superstitious ‘tom foolery’ your might feel more comfy with! There are several ‘strategies’, that the more ‘hardcore’ Bingoheads use, to ‘up the odds’ …a little!  Of course, I can’t pass on their secrets to you, because I’d have to kill you if I did.. Hah! No, only kidding… just couldn’t resist!

    When it comes to successful Bingo wagering, there are a few things you can do, to tilt the odds a little.  Number one rule is, less is more.  Try to avoid packed out Bingo rooms.  The more players there are, the less chance each of you has of winning. Of course, this is easier to get a handle on, if you play online.  However, even if you play at a local Bingo Hall, choosing your times ill make a difference.  Every bingo hall has their quiet times.  Chances are, they will be during the weekdays, but make it your business to find out when they are.  

    Unless you are a fairly experienced ‘Dabber’, bulk buying tickets isn’t such a wise thing to do. Stick to one game at a time, and an amount of tickets you can easily keep your eye on.  For novice players, that’s one of the biggest bonuses, with regards to playing online.  No need to be a ‘quick draw’ dabber, or even brilliant at multi tasking, it’s automated!  Ultimately, Bingo is about having a good time, and making friends is easy.  Just be courteous! So, go have a good time.  But remember, spend wisely, and all things in moderation.

  • The Rise (& Fall?), and Rise of Bingo

    By Lisa West on Friday, 23rd October 2009

    Bingo has seen a miraculous metamorphosis over the past couple of years.  Although, especially during the last 12months.  In times past, if you played a game of Bingo, it was because you were taking your Gran out for the evening!  Recently, there has been big swing, towards the launch of smart new Bingo Halls, revamps and modernism.  Some might say, this was due to a ‘do or die’ situation for land based operators.  Since the introduction of online Bingo, the game plan has changed.  Now, a new(ish) contender has entered the ring.  And, this is no lightweight opponent.  Online Bingo has, in many ways, catapulted the Bingo game onto a new level.  Huge numbers of players are logging in daily, to play at their favourite online site.

    The change has been too much, too soon, for some operators.  And, unfortunately, they have since closed their doors for the last time. Without doubt, the raised tax rate, recession, and smoking ban, helping them along.  Even so, there are many land based Bingo Halls doing very well, thank you!  But, what of the online Bingo Industry?  Has this also had its toll, upon the already flagging Bingo Halls.  Almost certainly. ..

    But, what has made online Bingo such a success? Number 1?  Bingo is a social game, and online Bingo offers the enjoyment of that, without the same expense.  No travelling costs, and,  tonnes of ‘Bargain Bucket’ tickets.  Many of the big brand operators offering free, and penny Bingo.  Plus, when the schedule is tight, logging in is a darn site quicker than going into town.  To which, I might add, at home, you always, get your favourite, or ‘lucky’ chair!

    There has been some big advancements online, with regards to technology.  Better graphics, better communication options, better games… The online operators get pretty imaginative, when it comes to promotions, and variations of the basic Bingo game.  Nothing like a bit of variety to keep the spice in life!  And, on top of all that, you can find online Bingo action, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.  No wonder it’s doing so well!

  • The Luckiest Town In The UK - Or The Most Thrifty!

    By Lisa West on Monday, 26th October 2009

    Gala TV do love their surveys.  Almost as much as me, and I am a total head banger for them! As we all know, Bingo is a pure game of chance, which is why, any survey about luck, has to be useful!  Only a short while ago, Gala TV Bingo carried out a survey, among their winning Bingo players. They discovered that Taureans are the luckiest players of all. However! When it comes to which UK town has the luckiest Bingo players, it’s the people of Harrogate topping the hall of fame. That’s all very interesting, but the real burning question has to be, “why”?

    Gala Bingo TV is keeping mum, about why that might be.  So, it’s a mystery!  Maybe?  Could be there are a lot of Taureans in Harrogate… did anyone check?  Maybe they are ‘Summer Lovin’ people ; ) Apart from that, another thing springs to mind.  The people of Yorkshire are legendary for their “cautious money management”… So, maybe that is more what the survey indicates. A case of extra thrifty wagering, as opposed to extra luck!  Sounds like there’s a been some crafty tactics, underway to me… The question is, how do you get them to part with that very useful data!  

    Have you seen that old ‘scientology’ thing?  Where Robins, and the such like, learn how to get into those complex ‘food maze’ bird boxes?  Then, (for instance…), the Robin in Harrogate who sussed it, passes on that information to his bird buddies.  And, before you know it, the Robins in Lands End are doing it that way.  Well, this might be a good time to have a few Bingo Buddies in Harrogate.  At worst, some of their ‘luck’ might rub off!  I also know for a fact, the people of Yorkshire make very good tea…
