We Luv Bingo
William Hill Bingo is a nice online bingo site from the world famous William Hill organisation which has been leading the gambling industry in the UK for more than seventy years. The site offers traditional 90 ball bingo at the time of writing, though of course it is always possible that the 75 ball game will make its debut here at some stage in the future.
If you already have a William Hill account (with their sports betting site or casino site, for example) then you can proceed straight into the bingo lobby with your regular user name and password, otherwise you will need to register your personal details to open a new account. This only involves the completion of a simple online form, so you will usually be up and running within a minute or two.
There is no software to download here at William Hill Bingo – simply click on “Play Now” from the main web page and the bingo lobby will open in a separate browser window. You can then choose which room you want to play in. There are two rooms right now and a third on the way. Tickets cost from 5p each and in some sessions you can take advantage of a “Buy One, Get One Free” deal which allows you to play with twice as many tickets for your usual outlay.
Whichever room you play in, the gaming screen, which has a cool blue colour scheme, is well organised, with a chat window on the left, tickets on the right and a numbers board at the top. Bingo numbers are called clearly and politely, and the balls are animated on screen as soon as they are selected, which makes for a nice visual prompt. Chat is very welcoming (a moderator will usually say hello within a matter of seconds) so if you want to participate you will find it very easy to do so.
The option menu here has all of the features you would expect to find – numerous daubing styles, the ability to toggle sound and graphics to your tastes, etc. You will also find that you can create an online “profile” which tells your fellow players a little more about you, such as your sex, location, star sign and favourite movie. This is a useful way of players getting to “know” one another without clogging up the chat window with the same questions.
William Hill Bingo offers two large jackpots in addition to the regular prizes. The Cash Rocket jackpot pays £2,500 if you make a full house in 38 balls or less. The Money Mountain progressive jackpot starts at £10,000 and often grows to £50,000 or more before it is won, because to win it you need to make a full house in 34 balls or less. There are also plenty of non-bingo games to play if the fancy takes you.
