Tiki Bingo

www.tikibingo.com

If the Disney corporation were ever going create an online bingo site, the result may well be something like Tiki Bingo. It's a colourful and happy looking place, with lots of cheerful cartoon images incorporated into the design. The main purpose of the home page is to shout about the benefits of playing here, so expect to see details of the generous bonuses given to people making a first time deposit, along with the promise that there is $300,000 to be won daily and a large JOIN US button in the middle of the screen. If you want to know more about the site itself, log in as an existing member, or read about the rules Tiki Bingo enforces and the games it offers, you will need to use one of the navigation tabs at the top of the screen. These are easy to use and enable you to get where you want to go with ease.

Downloading the software for the first time is a breeze, and begins as soon as you have registered for a new account by entering your name, address, e-mail and a password of your choice. Once the software is installed (don't worry, it's all fairly automatic) you can log on and start playing.

You can choose between 90 ball bingo (winning with a line, two lines or a full house) or 75 ball bingo (winning by making a certain pattern on your card) here at Tiki Bingo. Tickets start from $0.01 for the 75 ball game and from $0.30 for the 90 ball game.

The gaming screen (which can be switched to full screen mode for a more immersive experience) is attractive and well presented. The numbers board, which shows the balls that have been called, is situated on the left. On the right is a field of information about the game, including the regular prize on offer, the time of the next game and the size of the progressive jackpot which is paid if a player wins before a certain number of balls have been called.

In the middle of the main screen are nine or twelve of your bingo cards, depending on whether you are playing a 75 or 90 ball game respectively. You can buy up to around 100 cards at a time, and with free bonus cards bringing the playable total up to around 135 or so, the aggressive player will rarely be able to view them all on screen simultaneously. Fortunately, Tiki Bingo will auto-daub your cards and sort them so that your best cards are automatically displayed on the screen.

The audio here compliments the visuals very nicely. Music plays between bingo games (though you can exercise an option to turn it off) and the numbers are called by the cartoon characters depicted on the site. This means that the numbers are called clearly, but in the style of characters in a movie like Lilo and Stitch. It's a nice touch, but those who don't like it can choose to mute the voices by going to the options menu.

Players can chat with other Tiki Bingo enthusiasts via a pop-up window. This means that you will need to position the chat window in such a way that it doesn't obscure anything too important on the main screen (such as the bingo cards themselves!) but this is a relatively minor inconvenience. The chat itself is lively and friendly, and the moderators are as welcoming as you could hope for.

It's a refreshing change to come across a site that isn't afraid to take a few risks in making online bingo more fun, and Tiki Bingo is a must visit for that reason alone. Add a great game of bingo, valuable prizes, enjoyable chat and a wide range of mini games and we think you'll have plenty of good reasons to become a regular.
