Bingo Ballroom

www.bingoballroom.co.uk

The name “Bingo Ballroom” conjures up all sorts of mental imagery. We thought of style, sophisticated, class and – yes – the glitz and glamour of a Come Dancing set. Fortunately, and despite our incredibly high expectations, the Bingo Ballroom website didn’t disappoint us in the least.

The home page of Bingo Ballroom is bright and colourful, with a clean, intuitive layout. The main menu is situated on the left of the screen with a login window above for existing members. The rest of the screen is divided between an invitation to new members to play now at the top and an interactive window across the bottom which allows you to take a sneak peak at a few of the site’s main features. These include regular promotions, daily progressive jackpot games and instant win opportunities.

Getting started as a new member is very simple. You begin by registering your details (name and address) and selecting a username and password. If you want to deposit money you can do so – and receive a hefty bonus at the same time – but because all new registrants receive a handful of free bingo cards, you don’t actually need to spend anything to start playing.

Once you have registered you will be sent an e-mail containing instructions to activate your account. This is as easy as clicking on a link in the e-mail itself, and once you’ve done that you’re ready to start playing.

You can play both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo here, and both pattern and coverall games are played at various times. If you want to win a progressive jackpot then you need to look out for the special “Diamonds Are Forever” pattern games. These require you to complete a twelve slot pattern in 35 calls or less to win the progressive jackpot. If the pattern is completed in 36 calls or more then you will only win the normal game jackpot and the progressive will roll over to the next Diamonds Are Forever game.

Actually playing here is a delight. Not just because the visuals are clear and bright and the games themselves have all the features that you could ever want – including auto-daubing and cheerfully called numbers, but because the chat here is so incredibly friendly. There are six different chat rooms to choose from (plus one dedicated HELP chat room) and every single one of them is a joy to participate in. The people here are extremely welcoming and polite, and this makes it easy to get involved from the start and form some good online friendships.

There are a variety of non-bingo games to keep you entertained between the main sessions, including seven slot machines, a video poker machine, instant games such as virtual horseracing and even casino games like blackjack and roulette. All of these games feature very nice graphics and smooth animation, and ensure that you’ll never get bored waiting for the next “eyes down”.

Overall, the Bingo Ballroom is every bit as enjoyable as the name of the site suggests. But be warned: once you start playing here and have made a few friends, you’ll want to come back again and again for more of the same!
