Gala Bingo

www.galabingo.co.uk

Some online bingo sites like to serve you the game itself in a very simple and understated way. But not Gala. They believe that bingo should be presented with pizzazz and lots of it. Take a look at the main welcome page on their web site and you’ll see what they mean – there’s more colour and movement there than there is in the average pain factory. It’s bright, animated and about as enticing as web sites get, with running jackpot totals, the names of the very latest winners and a neat, intuitive menu on the left of the screen.

Registering a new account with Gala is simple. Click on the JOIN NOW option on the menu, then follow the instructions that appear in the pop-up window. You will be asked for your name, date of birth, address and e-mail – nothing very surprising or difficult to handle. In fact you should be signed up within a minute or two, at which point you can start playing.

There are three main bingo rooms, and although all of them are open at peak times, you may be restricted to just one during the off-peak – such as in the early hours of the morning.

Depending on the room you choose and when you play, bingo cards start at 10p. Obviously, the more the pay for cards, the more you stand to win, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to be in with a chance of landing a decent payout. Spotlight games, for instance, give you a chance to win £2,500 and bingo cards cost just 25p, which we think is a very good deal!

The gaming experience itself is extremely enjoyable. The visual presentation is very smart and you also get to listen to some great tunes as you wait for the next game to begin. When it does, the music fades out and the numbers are called out very professionally by a lovely sounding lady. Every so often the site features celebrities, and you can chat with them as you play!

Talking of chat, there are five rooms to choose from. All of them are very friendly and polite, and chat-based games are played regularly. These aren’t as exciting as the bingo, of course (what coule possibly be as exciting as bingo?) but they really do help to create an enjoyable social atmosphere. There are also plenty of mini-games to keep you amused, including slot machines, roulette and a lotto-style game.

Gala Bingo run a number of promotions which are well worth keeping track of. For example, at the time of writing this review players could win a brand new mini, a beach holiday or even £250,000. If that doesn’t give you something to dream about, we don’t know what will!

The bottom line for us is that Gala Bingo offers a very enjoyable gaming experience which goes a long way to recreating the social side of the game. It’s colourful, it’s entertaining and it’s well worth checking out when you get the chance.
