Take a virtual tour at Wink Bingo

Bingostreet have invented the virtual online bingo tour - and we’ve now got three virtual bingo tours up on YouTube, one each for Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo and Cheeky Bingo - more to follow soon!

The powers that be behind the scenes at Bingostreet, thought that it might be a nice idea to provide a virtual tour of bingo sites, to accompany the many online bingo reviews that we already have on Bingostreet - which is mainly just text. Now the reviews really come to life!

I for one think it’s an excellent idea, and once you’ve taken a virtual tour of a bingo site you’re all clued up as to what it would be like to play bingo online there.

Take a well-known site like Wink Bingo for instance, but say you’ve never played there before and can’t be bothered to register. If you just want a quick peek inside to look at the quality and variety of bingo games on offer, simple, just click here for your very own private tour of this hot bingo site.

Initially none of these video bingo reviews have commentary, but I think we might be adding a simple voice-over at a later stage, just with a little bit of extra information for the viewers.

Do have a look at the video online bingo reviews and let us know what you think. If we do add some voiceovers later, what sort of information would you like to hear about while you watch the video?

We’d love to hear from you, and hope you enjoy the virtual bingo reviews!

$5 M - I wonder who won it

Yesterday £5,000,000 online bingo jackpot at Wink Bingo was on stake. The huge coverall jackpot game at Wink Bingo takes place on the 20th of every month, and I wonder who was the lucky winner:)
I , myself would not be sad for second if I was the one but unfortunately I was not. Still looking for huge online bingo promotions, the BIG ones are to come in this summer

Think Bingo thinks it seriously

Think Bingo makes couple of new changes such as dedicated bingo forum where players can follow new promotions and what happens with the site, winnings and even with other players as members can chat with each other. This online bingo site promotes now a 400% welcome bonus any many other exciting offers like Thursday Bingo Thriller with a huge 1000 Pound Jackpot, Friday Bingo Fortune with 3000 Jackpot, Weekly Bingo Whopper with 5000 Jackpot every Sunday and a Monthly Bingo Monster with 10.000 Jackpot. Among online bingo sites right now it is a noticeable offer!

90 Ball versus 75 Ball

There are two types of bingo played around the world. North America plays 75-ball bingo on a 5x5 card with the center square usually marked 'free'. In the UK, parts of Europe, Australia and parts of South America they play a 90-ball game, marked on a 9x3 card. Both types of bingo are available online .

The desired pattern which players aim to achieve in 75 ball can vary dramatically, from a simple single line to more complicated themed patterns. The aim of the game, however, is always the same: to mark off the numbers to achieve the desired pattern. Speed Bingo is a variation played exactly the same, but numbers are simply called much quicker.

In 90-ball bingo, each card has three horizontal lines and nine columns. Each line contains five numbers, meaning each card has 15 numbers. The first column contains numbers from 1-10, the second column contains numbers from 11-20, the third column contains numbers from 21-30, all the way through to the final column which contains numbers from 81-90.

A game of 90 ball bingo will normally be played in three stages: one line, two lines and Full House. In a "one line" game players need to mark a complete horizontal line across one card (i.e., 5 numbers marked). The aim of a 'two lines' game is to complete any two marked lines horizontally across one card (i.e., 10 numbers marked). Finally a "Full House" means all the numbers marked off on one card (all 15 numbers), as in a regular coverall game. The prize split differs for each stage of the game. The Full House is always the largest prize in any one game.

Online bingo and slots

Although the focus here at Bingostreet.com is mainly online bingo, what many bingo fans don’t realise is the sheer wealth of online slots included in their favourite online bingo software programs.

And we’re not just talking small 3 reel fruit machines, a lot of bingo sites sport a really decent collections of slots, super slots and multiline slots complete with hefty jackpots - good enough to compete with any online casino.

It was good to see that just yesterday Wink Bingo announced one of their latest bingo promotions, which for a nice change focuses on one of their popular multiline slot games, Sands of Fortune.

Sands of Fortune hides its splendours deep within the Wink Bingo software, but this is a proper online slot machine that could sit proudly in any online casino. Sporting a dramatic soundtrack that fits perfectly with the exciting and mysterious storyline about the hidden treasures deep in the tombs of ancient Egypt, this online bingo site slot machine pays out dramatically too, with a jackpot to the tune of £100,000.

Normally you’ll find the slot games neatly packed away in the Instant Games or Mini Games sections of online bingo sites, and if you haven’t had the chance to explore these extra slot games that are available to bingo fans, then I urge you to give them a spin!

Bingo and age

If you new to bingo and stick to same old stereotypes it is highest time to register to a bingo site. Internet has changed this game like it has changed lots of things. Nowadays bingo online is not only for white-haired ladies but for everyone. As soon as you push the "submit" button, you'll change your idea about bingo players age. Now the average bingo player's age is late 30s . I am sure bingo site's goal is to keep all players happy, no matter the age but it surly makes everyone satisfied if young people like online bingo.

Sun bingo is gettig hotter

Sun Bingo are really revving up the hot bingo action of late, and although I don’t usually play bingo online at Sun Bingo, recently they’ve been coming up with some really cool bingo promotions that push my bingo buttons in all the right places!

One great advantage that Sun Bingo has is the sheer number and variety of internet bingo games plus extra games on hand. There is an awful lot to choose from which means us bingo players have a lot more freedom to decide what bingo games to play and when.

This week for instance there’s a chance to win a supercool £1000 jackpot every night at 9pm in the Sun Bingo 90 game - this special online bingo promotion is only on for one week, so I’d thoroughly advise you guys and gals to get down there ASAP and buy your bingo tickets now!

Friday 13th is also another excellent opportunity for bingo sites to pull out the lucky promotions on this traditionally unlucky day, and Sun Bingo will double your winnings if you bingo on #13 this Friday.

So if you fancy joining one of the most popular online bingo sites in the UK today the go ahead and dive in. There’s so much to explore at Sun Bingo it’ll take you a while to find your way around, but I think you’ll agree it’s worth it!

Bingo and age

I have to be honest. Couple of years ago I associated bingo with grandma and her old friends going to the nearest bingo hall , have a cup of tea and playing hours , sharing new gossips. I have to admit that the change has came in this business too. Today bingo shows its new face and it is not only old bingo rooms but online bingo as well. Now you can play bingo even while you are shopping. Most games offer an automated option, so you do not even have to be home to get back your shopping money:)

£1000 Valentine Hot Balls

Dont miss Valentine Day's special at Game Village
All 30 minutes past the hour games between 8pm and midnight in the Village Inn will have a Valentine Hot Ball prize of £1000!

The new bingo site

The new bingo site I like is blue as winter. If you click on the URL you'll realize that nothing is better in a cold winter evening that a cold winter-blue site:))) It maybe just me but I hope owner will change the color in a couple of months ...summer color should be yellow or pink, or warm green..Unless the color of that site I really like William Hill Bingo

Bingo promotions are trap -- some say!

If you have ever been lured onto a bingo site by one of the nice promotional items that they offer, then you undoubtedly understand what I’m getting at here. Lots and lots of people look at bingo and they think, “That’s a trap!” Bingo promotions look really pretty when you consider the amount of free money that they offer, but do you ever follow through and get any of that money? That’s the question that many are wondering about and it is worth considering.

The “trap”, at least in this sense, is that you are being given money for nothing. You are given free money without any expectation, or so you will be told by the bingo sites. We are conditioned to not accept this type of free lunch, as life teaches us that most things that appear too good to be true end up being not true in the long run. But is there really a reason for all of this apprehension when it comes to looking at online bingo promotions? Should we be so scared?

In these difficult economic times, we are taught to protect our dollar bills. The thing is, you are in a no risk situation when it comes to online bingo promotions. If they happen to hand you some free money and you never see any of that money, what have you really lost? If it turns out that their offer is true and you reap the rewards of lots of free coin, then that’s most assuredly a good thing, right? That’s the outlook you have to take when looking at some of the new bingo promotions offered by the sites. What do I have to lose, anyway?

You might be surprised to learn that many of the companies who offer these sorts of bonuses are really reputable. This may be the only industry, along with the poker and sportsbook industry, that offers you money to do absolutely nothing. With finances becoming so tight because of this entire economic crisis, it is nice to see that someone out there is looking out for us by providing free money. It is a good thing, to be sure. Don’t be so skeptical next time you see the offers. Try to keep your mind open and you mind find that you will end up with a nice bonus for your trouble.

Playing the game can be fun, and it can be even more fun when there is no risk involved. This is not even gambling at that point, because you are just playing with their money. This can even serve to eliminate the obvious moral conflicts that many people have when it comes to bingo.

How to speak Bingo Lingo

Half the fun of online bingo is being part of the community and chatting with fellow b-i-n-g-o fanatics.

Online bingo chat rooms are controlled areas, because it’s a safe space for folks from all around the globe to chat, come together, and be entertained by each other and the current Chat master on duty. In this virtual bingo environment, you won’t have any vocal input but will have a general Chat window at your finger tips. Be sure to make yourself heard with the comments you type in this window.

If you have always despised people writing abbreviations like LOL in emails and texts, brace yourself… Bingo is a fast-paced game, especially if you choose the Speed bingo games on offer, and you won’t have time to type in any long drawn out conversations or Shakespearian prose. Therefore you will have to learn to speak Bingo Lingo if you want to keep up with the rest of the players.

Don’t despair though; it can be quite easy to learn Bingolese. If you already enjoy chatting in chat rooms, you should know most of the terms. If you are unfamiliar with chat room lingo, you will find a myriad of abbreviations to cover almost every aspect of the conversation, and it’s very useful if you plan to get a word in edge ways.

Bingo number 90 aka Top of the Shop

Traditional UK bingo is played with 90 balls. The last number in the online bingo progression is 90. It is a special number in many senses, and is revered in online bingo. In following the time tested online bingo tradition of giving call numbers different nicknames, it should be no surprise that this online bingo number has the most nicknames and some of the best. For those people who had so much fun making up nicknames for the numbers, this was the final chance to make their mark. So what are some of the online bingo nicknames for the number 90?

The first can be said in two different ways, depending upon which bingo game you are at. You might hear some callers say “top of the shop” and you might hear others refer to the number 90 as “top of the house”. Either is equally correct and they are both steeped in online bingo tradition. It is easy to see where this nickname came from. If you were to list all of the possible numbers of a bingo game in order, 99 would be at the top of the heap. That is why online bingo gives 90 this special nickname for its calling.

There are some other online bingo nicknames for 90, as well. While the others made it seem as if 90 was the head of some sort of vertical ordering system, these nicknames would apply to a linear numbering system. 90, in many online bingo games, is called out at “end of the line”. Any fool can tell why this is the nickname for this particular online bingo number. There is nothing past 90, so it is essentially the last remaining digit. There are often times when this is the last number that a player needs in order to have bingo, so these nicknames take on a special significance.

All in all, you will find some very interesting online bingo calls for just about every number that there is. 90 is no exception and it is only special because of the fact that it is the last number going. If you are an online bingo player and you haven’t heard some of these cool call number nicknames, then you are really missing out. Call nicknames like this are a great online bingo tradition and they have helped to make the game what it is over the years. They are worth getting to know if only for entertainment purposes.

Online bingo sites - Players have tough time choosing the right one

With so many online bingo sites out there today, players have a tough time choosing the right one. After all, they look the same and many of them use the same software. In many cases, online bingo sites are also offering the same promotions, as well. When this is the case, what is a player to do? How are they to tell one of the online bingo sites apart from all of the others? There are some very simple things that a player should look for in online bingo sites to find the right one.

All in all, online bingo sites need to be trusted. If you can’t trust your site, then there is no reason why you should be playing there. You are going to be trying to win some big prizes and some major bingo jackpots. When you get lucky enough to do this, don’t you want to know that you will be able to claim your prize from the online bingo sites? This should be the first thing you look for. Do the research on various online bingo sites and find out which ones are the most trusted by experienced players who are familiar with the online bingo scene. Be sure to check out the bingo forums too.

As a player, you should also be looking for a site that is willing to adapt to the changing technology out there. The online bingo world is constantly evolving. New bingo games, new software programs, and new incentive programs are popping up each and every week. This is why online bingo sites in this day and age have to keep up with the times. When you choose a site, you need to know that they are dedicated to providing you with only the best and latest in online bingo software. You need to know that they are keeping up with the competitors in this highly competitive field.

Online bingo sites must be able to give you quality service, as well. If you are going to be investing in them, then they need to be available to answer your questions and calm your concerns. This is something that you should demand in your online bingo sites and if the site cannot provide that, then you need to take your play elsewhere. There are way too many online bingo sites out there for you to be settling for anything other than the absolute best. As a player, you should demand that out of your online bingo sites.

Bingo enjoying a Renaissance

Bingo has always been a popular game, ever since it was introduced in the mid 1920s. Since that time it’s always been played, but of late there seems to be a surge happening in its popularity, both at traditional walk-in bingo halls, and on the Internet.

So why Bingo? What is it about this game that keeps drawing crowds of fans week after week? Is it that it’s such an easy game to learn? Could it be because of the cash prizes you can win? Maybe it’s about the socialising?

And maybe it’s all of the above. But one thing is certain - bingo halls are more packed than they’ve ever been. Despite the economic downturn, traditional bingo games have continued to thrive.

In part, it could be to do with the whole experience of the live event. Playing the bingo game on a computer is one thing, but turning up at the local of an evening is a chance to meet new friends and to socialise.

Bingo games rarely cost more than a couple of pence, or a quid at the outside, so perhaps it’s that a visit to a live bingo event offers an entire evening of entertainment for less than it would cost to rent a DVD?

Interestingly, there’s a fast growing youth demographic who are taking part in bingo, despite perceptions that bingo nights are populated exclusively by the elderly.

But it’s not just the live bingo halls that are seeing growth this year. The online bingo experience is proving as attractive a draw as the live experience. We’re seeing new bingo sites springing up all the time, and tried and trusted ones are going from strength to strength.

So what is it that’s so appealing about playing bingo online? For one thing, there’s the convenience factor - not having to trudge down to the local hall when its raining is a plus.

Then there’s the playing assist - most sites now have features that will automatically daub your card for you if you’d like, which is great if your concentration isn’t up to scratch. It will even call Bingo for you when you win.

So whether you prefer to play online, or get your coat on and turn up at your local bingo club, perhaps you should be seeing what all the fuss is about? You might even have a good time while you’re about it.

Bingo chat room social etoquette

Bingo chat rooms are a buzzing online community. There are certain socially acceptable behaviours that are allowed in the bingo chat rooms and certain things that are not. What you have to remember is that bingo is a heavily social game that encourages players to become part of a community and share the pleasures of the great game of bingo.

Whether the bingo game takes place in a traditional bingo hall or in a church, the community aspect of the game is always the strongest. Bingo is also a favourite way for the community to raise money for charity, and have some fun at the same time, everyone coming together to support each other and make new friends.

The advent of bingo online still focuses on the community spirit of the game, and every good bingo website worth its salt will have a selection of bingo chat rooms with a buzzing bingo community full of chatty players and friendly CM’s, allowing you to chat and play bingo online simultaneously.

Bingo chat rooms are all being social and having a great time, sharing the latest gossip (if you’re already familiar with the other bingo buddies), cheering each other to win, watching the 3TG, 2TG’s pop-up on screen and hoping you’ll be the one to shout Bingo at the end! Online bingo players definitely love winning, but they’re also some of the most generous hearted people you’ll find online, and are always ready to congratulate other bingo players on their lucky jackpot wins.

We’ve put together a pointers for budding bingo enthusiasts on the social etiquette expected from you, and from other bingo players, in bingo chatrooms, and hope you find them helpful.

• The first rule is to be social. Don’t just sign up to play bingo online and ignore the other players. At least offer a good day, how are you, and congrats to the winner. If you are the winner always be sure to thank everyone for their congrats.
• Don’t go into the bingo chat rooms with an attitude. For example don’t put other players down when you win. Or if you lose don’t be rude.
• You should be polite at all times in the bingo chat rooms even if you feel bad. The other players will be polite to you and offer you condolences. Usually there are only one to three winners in a game, so think of the others that have lost.
• Foul language is not warranted at anytime, even if you are trying to be funny.
• Other players will offer respect where they receive it. They like to be appreciated for their part in the game, just as you will.
• It’s always nice to introduce yourself, and invite others to do so too.
• You can even start the chat in the bingo chat rooms if conversation is lagging.
• Take advantage of all the social features on the bingo sites. You will feel rewarded and enjoy a much richer experience while playing bingo online.

These are just some of the social etiquette rules you should follow in the bingo chat rooms. The most important one is to realise that you have joined a community that loves to socialise and wants you to take part and have fun with them in the bingo games.

Take part in the Bingo World Record attempt

Friday night at 11.45pm if you’re not out partying then stay at home and bingo your way into the Guinness Book of Records with your TV and free bingo cards!

Instead of my usual Friday night routine (fish and chips for one, online bingo, and a DVD) I’ll be perched on the edge of my seat with my free bingo tickets, doing my bit for bingo record breaking with ITV’s Bingo Night Live. It’s actually free to play, you just have to register to play bingo online at their website.

BingoStreet reported earlier this week of a £60K jackpot, well it’s now grown to more than £100K Guaranteed Jackpot! Plus there’s some really cool bingo prizes (for bingo blokes at least), including 75 season tickets to Old Trafford!

I know TV Bingo is comparatively new but with huge guaranteed bingo jackpots and prizes like these up for offer, it’s not surprising that it’s getting to be the hottest thing in bingo since the invention of bingo balls! And tell me, how often do you get the chance to break a world record?!
