Bingo Nation
Bingo Nation Review
As
soon as you enter the Bingo Nation site, you will have access to all of the
site's functionality and games at your fingertips. With its bright coloured
design in gold (putting you in the mood to play) and simple to use
interface, this new site certainly creates a good first impression.
Importantly, in this day and age, you are reassured right away as to the
safety of your personal details with modern secure technology visibly in
place. Signing up is made very easy too – the whole process should only take
a few minutes.
Newcomers are immediately offered a whole host of special incentives for
joining. Firstly, it is free to try with a £1 deposit given to all new
sign-ups (with no cash deposit needed at that time). If you like the site
and wish to make a deposit, Bingo Nation promise to match your first deposit
by 100% up to £250 with a 'cash match bonus'. Thus a £50 deposit turns into
a £100 deposit, with a maximum of £500. The site also offers special
promotional games on top of the usual games, such as cash cow and piggy bank
jackpot and bingo linx.
Once you log into the site, things become still more impressive. After
registration, you are taken to a separate page with graphics comparable to
those of a video game. This is provided by 'Virtue Fusion software' and it
makes the site far more interactive – rivalling the concept of playing the
real thing. On this page, you will see a wide-ranging choice of games to
play, such as 90 ball, 80 ball and 75 ball bingo, with details of each
particular game displayed allowing you to choose according to your personal
preferences. It is easy to see when each games starts, the total prize
money, ticket prices, the number of players involved at the time and the
maximum number of tickets left for purchase. There are also special games on
offer, such as marine mayhem, joker jackpot and speed bingo.
The pages where you play bingo itself don't disappoint. Everything is very
colourful (here decorated in red and blue), interactive and simple to
understand for a first-timer. Two features immediately catch the eye and are
worth mentioning. The first is the chat box, consistent with most current
online game sites. Here you can interact with your fellow players – for
advice, help or just for general small-talk. It even includes a buddy list
to help you to easily find any friends you may make. The second feature is
the ability to purchase your own ticket. Many people would assume that you
were allocated a ticket at random, but with this site you have a choice of
tickets, giving that all-important feeling of having your luck in your own
hands and not in those of a faceless computer. In addition, you are not
restricted to one ticket – the only restriction is your balance and the
number of tickets available.
In addition to the standard winnings on offer, there are also special
jackpot wins connected to selected games (which is where the cash cow and
the piggy bank jackpots come into play). The cash cow jackpot, a new feature
to the site, is an accumulating prize which can be won by any player getting
a full house in fewer than 34 balls. At the point of writing, the cash cow
stands at £11,580. The piggy bank is similar; it offers a fixed £1000 prize
if you manage to get a full house in under 40 balls.
As with most modern gaming sites, bingo is not the only game you can play
here (although it is the main focal point). If you want a break from bingo,
you have the opportunity to play blackjack or roulette. There are also a
whole host of slot games to play (with names such as Clover Rollover, Pet
Luck and Marine Mayhem) as well as virtual scratch cards.
Overall, the impression of the site is highly positive. The look and feel is
attractive and the variety of activities on offer is bound to appeal to a
wide range of players. Even if you have never played bingo before, the
design and the free trial makes it simple to just dive in and have fun if
nothing else. So, if you find yourself bored on a rainy day, this site can
go a long way in keeping you entertained.
