Well, if you haven’t taken a trip over to Virgin Bingo recently, you’ll be surprised to see that the guys have done some big things. Although to be fair, at the moment everyone in the bingo world seems to be having a bit of a makeover, whether it’s Posh Bingo or Foxy Bingo or Moon Bingo – they’re all at it! But at the same time, we couldn’t help but feel impressed by what Virgin Bingo have pulled out of the bag, as not only have they undergone a little cosmetic spruce up, they have also launched a new game which we are reeeeally hoping will catch on!
With the oh so virginal title “Multi Balls”, the new game from Virgin Bingo really is the dogs b… well you know the rest. We know that in general online bingo games, you are playing many other players at the same time, often hundreds if you are hitting a busy room. And of course, there are always the team bingo tourneys run at sites like Wink Bingo which allow you and your mates to start getting in it to win it – and together. And perhaps more recently, we have also seen several online bingo sites finally admit they are tied to each other and hold linked bingo games, the biggest probably being the “Joy Pot’s” games running throughout this year at Posh Bingo, Wink Bingo, Red Bus Bingo and Tasty Bingo, with a whopping £25k up for grabs guaranteed in each game.
But with “Multi Balls”, the multiplayer feature goes that little bit further, with all players competing on a leaderboard for a share of a rather tasty progressive jackpot. Put simply, its in your face competitive fun, which makes the game that little bit more exciting and a little less, well, anonymous. As much as we obviously love the anonymity of online bingo, the idea of transferring some of the buzz of an offline bingo hall and eagerly keeping tabs on your fellow players somehow makes the game that bit more exciting for us!
So here’s what you do – each player has to match a minimum of five numbers on their card. For every winning combo, you’ll get points, which will decide where you stand on the winners boards. And best of all, you not only get points for winning, but you’ll also potentially get some extra cash gifts, depending on how much you wager. What’s more, the site is linked to others on the same network, allow you to indulge in some multi site multi player multi balls online bingo fun.
We can’t wait to see if this catches on – with so many networked sites like Cashcade’s ever growing army or sites like Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo, Red Bus Bingo and Tasty Bingo running the same games, we think there is real potential for online bingo to step it up a level – giving us a multi-tude of online bingo joy in the process. Watch this space!!
