Both land based and online casinos offer similar and equally attractive incentives. Bingo is a game that is suitable for all, as well as the various player incentives, enticing jackpots, high bonuses and social networking aspects, there is also another factor improving the popularity of bingo.

Bingo is now classed as a stylish and fun past time, suitable for the younger, fashionable generation and no longer has a stigma attached to it.

When partaking in the game players often feel a certain sense of anticipation, especially if they are just waiting for one single number prior to claiming a bingo win.

Since players are never certain of a win, bingo is definitely a game of chance, making it an extremely exciting past time to partake in.

The game offers fun for all the family but also attracts pros and celebrities, the A-list have in fact revealed a definite love for the popular past time. Some celebrities endorse various bingo products whilst others host bingo bashes. Catherine Zeta Jones is one such A-list starlet that regularly throws bingo parties for her fellow celebrity associates.

The game itself is extremely stimulating, and provides a lot of fun for all involved; the increasingly up-to-the-minute past time is also enjoyed by the likes of A-list stars such as Simon Le Bon and Mick Jagger.

Some sites have noted the increase in popularity of such a game in the celebrity world and have in turn endorsed the help of the A-list in order to promote their online gaming websites. Because of their celebrity status, bingo appears as a hip and on trend pastime that the younger generation is happy to partake in.

A few well known celebrities feature as the face of certain sites, one such celebrity is the popular Gala Bingo promotion featuring Sharon Osbourne the ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona, who appears as the face of the ‘Bingos.co.uk” site. Another celebrity to launch his own site “Cheggers” is Keith Chegwin and Kim Marsh and Jack Ryder are also said to be big fans of the game.

 

Wink Bingo made another bingo fan very happy last week as the second Joy Pot of £25,000 was scooped up by one lucky player in the Joy of Bingo £100k promotion.

The Wink Bingo player ‘karaokesue’ won the second Joy Pot game and walked away £25,000 richer and as you might expect she was completely ecstatic about her big win. The happy bingo fan said: “Thank you so much for my winnings, I still can’t believe I’m a winner!”

The lucky lady didn’t even realise that she had won the huge jackpot until she logged into her Wink Bingo account and saw that its balance had gone up significantly – a nice surprise then.

Karaokesue added “I opened up the account and saw all this money and couldn’t speak for about ten minutes. I can pay off debts and have a fantastic holiday with my family, thank you so much Wink Bingo.”

The game played last Friday, 24th September, as part of the special Joy of Bingo promotion which will be giving away £100,000 across their four sites – Wink Bingo, RedBus Bingo, Tasty Bingo and Posh Bingo.

The first game was played over at Tasty Bingo and the Wink Bingo game, where karaokesue was the winner, was the second of the £25,000 games. The first game was slightly different though as £1,000 was given to the winner, while the rest of the £24,000 was shared out amongst the players left with 1TG, whereas karaokesue was lucky enough to take home the whole £25,000. It’ll be interesting to see what Joy of Bingo decide to do with the next Joy Pot game!
The next Joy Pot game will move to the RedBus Bingo site which will be played on the 31st December and the final £25,000 prize will be given away next year in April. There’s even better news though, as you can earn entry to these games for free! If you’re a regular at any of the Joy of Bingo sites you can earn points, which will win you free tickets to the games, so if you fancy joining karaokesue on the winner’s list get playing today!

“All I could think of was that I was going to come out with this game, and it was going to be called Bingo!” These were apparently the first words of Edwin Lowe after hearing one of his “Beano” customers shout “Bingo!” when faced with a winning card. But the origins of Bingo began long before Lowe developed his own version; a version that happens to be the modern game we play today.

The first records of a game similar to Lowes version are from Italy in the 1530s. The game was called “Lo Giuco De Lotto D’Italia” and was played as a national lottery across the country. Eventually the idea of the game spread and in 1770 it was introduced as a similar “lotto” concept in France. This game was predominately played by affluent French citizens. By the 1800s the game had spread across Europe with the German take on it proving to be very interesting. German schools would use the structure of the game to teach young students basic maths and history and turned out to be quite successful in its aims.
The modern game as we play it today began to develop in the United States from around 1929. The first game developed by Lowe, called “Beano” or “Bean-go”, initially had several winners with small jackpots but by 1930 Lowe’s game incorporated over 6000 different cards. This extended game allowed for only a single winner and therefore larger jackpots.

The success of this new game was given a huge boost when churches began hosting bingo games to gain funds for their parishes. By 1934 over 10,000 games were played week and its not surprising to find out that at present, in the US some $90m are spent each week on Bingo games. With such success in the US it was only a matter of time before the game would reach the UK and at present companies such as Mecca Bingo draw a great profit from the popularity with British players.

Variations on the game now exist such as Quick Slot, Bonanza and Horse Racing with formats on both tables and electronic devices. The US game developed from 12 card to 24 card bingo which remains the traditional standard in modern games.
