Slingo - An Interesting Casino Game

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

slingoSlingo is an interesting online casino game, which is considered to be a fusion of slots and bingo. It is basic elements of both these games and was inspired from the classic game show known as ‘The Joker’s Wild’. It was initially played as a 5-reel slot machine in the year 1995.

In a standard game of Slingo, the user would get 20 turns to spin the numbers under the Bingo cards. Consequently, five numbers would appear. If these numbers are present on the bingo cards, they could be marked off. In addition to these numbers, other special items could also appear on the number spots. The ‘jokers’ are considered wild and could be used to mark off any number on the column where the joker appeared. If a joker appears in the centre, then it is referred to as the ‘super joker’ and could be placed anywhere on the board.

During the course of the game, ‘devil’ is another special item that can appear on the reels. If the ‘devil’ appears in place of a number, then it can cut down the player’s score into half. Conversely, if a ‘cherub’ appears along with the ‘devil’, it would mark off the effect of the devil. ‘Free Spins’ and ‘Coins’ are also some of the special items that appear on the reels. The ‘Coins’ would automatically add points to the player’s account. On the other hand, if the player has accumulated ‘Free Spins’ then he can use these for free instead of paying for them.

The ‘Free Spins’ come with specific time limitations and if the player does not use these spins within a set time frame, these spins would be lost. Also, if a player fails to mark off all the numbers and jokers within a certain time limit, these items are considered lost. The player with the maximum points in the end wins the game.

The New 80 Ball Bingo Game

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

balls-80Considering the ever increasing popularity of bingo, the enthusiasts have introduced a newer version of the game called the 80 ball bingo. Unlike the other variations of the game, the 80 ball bingo is just right. The game is quite different since it doesn’t involve the use of traditional bingo cards. The unique part about the game is that it requires special cards known as the shutter boards. As soon as the bingo number is called, the player simply needs to close the shutter to cover the number.

You would not have to mark the numbers like the conventional game. Every bingo card here has four rows and columns. There are four different colours used on the cards from yellow, red, silver and blue. 80 ball bingo is fairly simple to play. All you need to do is buy the bingo card with a click on the selector. You can play the game on multiple cards as well and purchasing the card would require you to click on the buy button. Once the cards are purchased, you can start playing the game at any point.

The game board for this variation of bingo is similar to that of the 75 ball bingo. However, there are a few differences with the 80 ball bingo. There are 16 numbers with 5 rows, which makes about 80 possible combinations. The numbers are divided in four different groups. Every group is represented by a separate colour. The interval in the 80 ball bingo is 20. The groups are divided as follows: numbers 1-20 are red in colour, whereas numbers 21-40 are yellow. Numbers from 41-59 are blue and the last set of numbers from 60-80 are silver.

80 ball bingo consists of several different patterns, unlike the other bingo variations. However, these patterns could vary with every game. There is a “Full Card” included here, which is pretty similar to “blackout” in 70 ball bingo and “full house” in 90 ball bingo. With the variety of patterns offered here, there are quite a lot of possibilities of winning the game. There are no specific downsides to this version, except that it is available only with the online version of the game.

How can 888bingo offer such large bonuses to its players?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

online-bingo-bonusHave you ever wondered how bingo rooms like 888bingo can offer such large signup bonuses to their players? You may think it is complicated, but in reality, it is simple.

Online bingo rooms need players to make a profit. Everyone knows that. So, their goal is to get as many players as they can to join. They do this by offering them money to join.

First off, we must understand that they are not giving you 100% bingo free money. They are giving you money to use in their online bingo room. You have to play a certain number of games to be able to cash this money out. This accomplishes one thing: it keeps the players playing, and they are more likely to fall in love with the game and keep on coming back for more.

Believe it or not, most online bingo rooms actually assign a dollar value to players. Now, this has nothing to do with the size of their bankroll. Here is an example:

Based on the stats taken by an online bingo room, they may be able to determine that each player, on average, will deposit $100 in their lifetime, and they will lose half of it to the bingo room. Now, some players will win more, and some players will lose more, but that’s not important.

So, if you knew every player would bring in $50 profit, would it not be reasonable to pay $40 for them to join? In the end, you are still making a good amount of money. This is the way online bingo rooms think, and this is how they can offer the money they do!

So, what should you do? Well, take advantage of it! Sign up at 888bingo and receive a huge sign up bonus. You can use this money to play quite a few rounds of online bingo, and if you are lucky, you will be able to turn it into something a lot bigger in a short period of time!

A Most Common Lotto Mistake

Friday, February 20th, 2009

lottoMaking use of the dates for the lottery numbers has turned out to become the most common practice for a majority of the lottery players. However, this is not a great way for betting. After drawing the lotteries, people end up creating their wagers that would use the family birthdays, anniversaries or those special dates that would hold some personal importance in their lives. The common belief is that if the date has brought them luck before, it would happen again. These become the luckiest dates of their life and hence they bet with the same numbers. But the results in the lottery have proven that such a practice has a negative effect in a majority of the cases.

One of the important reasons for this negative result would be that if you are betting keeping the dates in mind then you would be betting only those numbers that fall from 1 to 31 and you would be completely ignoring the rest of the numbers. So if you are playing those lotteries that are either of 31 numbers of even 50 numbers in most cases, you would stand a very good chance, but what about those lotteries that involve all the numbers from 1 to 100.

There was a research conducted with the lottery NY659 and it was demonstrated that in the last 200 drawings there was only one of the winning tickets that contained the numbers from 1 to 31 and that simply means that the chances of you winning the lotteries on the basis of the dates would be as low as 0.5% since there was no chance of winning in 199of those drawings.

A lot of lotteries in North America do possess lesser numbers and that’s where you can try out the date scenario, however there are equal chances of the numbers to appear above 31. So in case if you are looking forward to better your chances to win as much as possible, you need to leave your conventional approach of placing your bets.
