Bingo Chat-Games

Bingo chat games are secondary games that take place alongside the main bingo game. Chat games are played in the chat window which is used to conduct conversations with other bingo players, and they are usually run by the Chat Moderator. Prizes often come in the form of bonus bingo loyalty points, free tickets for cash games or, in some places, modest cash prizes.

There are scores of different chat games that are played online, but each bingo site tends to offer just a handful of its own favourites. To give you some idea of what various chat games involve, here are details of some of the most popular ones.

Connect 4
This chat game is played alongside online games of 75 ball bingo. Participants have to select one number from 1 to 75 and then they watch the numbers board. The first player to have three other numbers connected in a straight line wins the prize.

Pick 6
This is a Lotto type game played in both 75 and 90 ball bingo sessions which requires players to pick six numbers from 1 to 75 or 1 to 90 as appropriate. The idea is for players to match as many of their picks from the first 15 or 20 balls called in a game. The more numbers they match, the bigger prize they win, with the top prize going to those who match all six of their picks. Variations of this game are Pick 7 (where players pick seven numbers) and Keno (where players pick ten numbers).

Corners
Played in 90 ball bingo games, Corners requires players to elect one of the four corners on the main numbers board – top left, top right, bottom left or bottom right. The first player to get a square of four numbers in their elected corner wins the first prize. Some bingo sites also offer consolation prizes for those finishing second and third.

Blackjack
Blackjack is played in both 75 and 90 ball bingo games, and as the name suggests it is based on the card game of the same name. Players need to select three numbers that total 21 when added together (for example, 5 + 7 + 9 or 1 + 6 + 14). The first player to have all three of their numbers called wins the game.

Whilst bingo chat games will never make anyone rich (when we say that prizes are modest, we aren’t kidding) they can be a great deal of fun, and enable you to enjoy the thrill of winning even if you aren’t successful in the main bingo game. If you haven’t already done so, take a look at the chat games offered at your favourite online bingo sites today and give them a whirl.
