Whether you’ve played traditional bingo in the past or you’re a total newbie, online bingo offers an exciting gaming experience that’s full of fun!
However, with such a wide selection of online bingo games to choose from it can be tricky to decide which one to play first. At Slingo we’ve got lots of fun bingo rooms, plus bingo jackpots, slots and even bingo scratch cards!
If you need some help narrowing it down, read on to find out more about your online bingo options!
Know the Type of Bingo Game That You Want to Play
The first step to choosing an online bingo game is knowing which type of game you want to play. In case you’re not sure where to start, we’ve created this helpful guide to explain some of the ‘bingo lingo’ and the different types of online bingo games. Check it out below!
Bingo Rooms
An online bingo room does what it says on the tin: it’s simply a virtual version of a real-life bingo hall, and it’s where all the action takes place in online bingo! The rooms have different themes to choose from, and at Slingo we’ve got a great selection to choose from! From 80s-themed Boom Box room to the all-American Country Roads room, there’s something to suit everyone.
When choosing a bingo room, read the description carefully to see how many balls will be in play. A standard game of bingo has 90 balls, but other games have fewer balls to create a more fast-paced gaming experience!
Once you’ve chosen a game, you can enter the room before it begins. Here you’ll be able to buy tickets for the game, see what prizes are up for grabs, and even chat to your fellow players!
Bingo Jackpots
Bingo jackpot games are those which have a jackpot prize up for grabs. There are two main types of jackpot games: fixed and progressive. A fixed jackpot game will have a predefined maximum prize that won’t change.
A progressive jackpot has a prize pool that increases every time it’s played – so the more people that play the game, the bigger the potential prize will be!
The payouts for jackpot bingo games can be huge, but to win you’ll usually have to get a full house within a certain number of calls.
At Slingo we’ve got our very own Jackpot Room, which is a progressive bingo game where you’ll win the top prize if you get a full house in 36 calls or less!
Bingo Slots
As well as our fun bingo rooms, we’ve got lots of other slots and Slingo games to try! With over 1,200 slots to choose from and a huge variety of themes, styles and bonus features, you’re sure to find your new favourite game. When it comes to Slingo games, we think they’re the perfect combination of slots and bingo. We’ve collaborated with huge names in the industry to bring you some amazing Slingo games, from Slingo Rainbow Riches to Slingo Deal or No Deal and more.
Bingo Scratch Cards
Another exciting way to play bingo online is with bingo scratch cards. These online scratch cards are very similar to traditional scratch cards – but please don’t try scratching your phone screen with a penny! Instead, you can simply click on an area to scratch to reveal hidden numbers symbols and hopefully land a winning combination.
At Slingo we’ve got a huge variety of online scratch cards to choose from, and we love these instant win games for their speed and simplicity!
Find a Trustworthy Site
Before you decide which game to play, you’ll need to make sure you choose a trustworthy online casino site. In the UK, all online casino sites must be licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. You can check this to give you peace of mind before playing, as it’s a guarantee that the games are fair and the casino is secure and legal.
You should also check that the bingo software uses random number generator (RNG) technology to ensure that the games have completely random outcomes which are impossible to predict.
It’s also a good idea to check the casino’s different payment options before you start playing. Once that’s all sorted, you’re ready to go!
Look Out for Bonuses and Promotions
Many online casinos offer great bonuses and promotions to their players. It’s always worth checking these out before you sign up to find the best deals! For example, at Slingo we offer all new registering players an 100% match-up bonus up to a maximum of £50 on their first deposit!* There are also plenty more exclusive rewards and bonuses, from a new surprise every day with Daily picks to free spins and tickets for the exciting Prize Twister.
