Congratulations to 12plumpkin from South Wales who won a massive £21,000 on Saturday, 16th January in Mecca’s weekly escalator jackpot.

Lucky 12plumpkin has been a loyal fan of Mecca bingo for the last five years and can often be found in her favourite bingo room, Little Ducks, commenting: I love playing bingo online and have been a member of Mecca for a long time now, so it’s absolutely amazing to win! When I first realised I’d won £21,000 I had no real reaction as I was just so stunned. I shouted to my husband to tell him and he came running in and picked me up! To be honest I was a little scared that it was going to be a horrible nightmare and I’d find out that I hadn’t won, that was until I saw the money in my account! I’m going to give it a few weeks before I decide what to do with the money, but I think a holiday with the family is on the cards. I have two sons and five grandchildren and it would be nice to treat them.

The Mecca bingo £20,000 January Jackpots are easy to win. Simply play any standard 90 ball bingo online and if it hasn’t gone by each Saturday, the ball count needed to win will increase to ensure one lucky customer walks away with the cash!

Every Friday at 8 pm the Full House winner in Room 2, as well as walking away with their winnings, will also receive one of Crown Bingo’s fabulous year long gifts. Just make sure that you are a depositing player to be in with a chance and it’s limited to one prize per person so you can’t win every week but that’s okay, we’re not greedy!

So what exactly are these gifts I hear you ask?? Well here they are:

Friday 8th – winner – a cake every month for a year
Friday 15th - winner – a box of Hotel Chocolat treats every month for a year
Friday 22nd – winner – year’s supply of lush goodies, runners up
Friday 29th – winner – a year’s supply of bingo

Seriously yummy stuff on offer and don’t despair if you’re not lucky enough to scag the major prize because Crown Bingo will also be rewarding those who took part and bought bingo tickets during the game. Every player will automatically be entered into a prize draw and two will be chosen at random to win runner up prizes!

Christmas and New Year were over in a flash, the weather is dismal and most of us are well and truly broke so what better way to cheer ourselves up than to capitalise on the very generous Mecca Bingo who are guaranteeing £20,000 in jackpots every single week starting today – 4th January 2010.

The cash is up for grabs in the 33 ball games and even more exciting, Mecca Bingo have promised that if the Jackpot is not won during the week, on Saturday they will increase the ball count you need to win a full house from 4pm to guarantee the £20,000 will be won by midnight!!

And don’t despair if you don’t win the big prize because Mecca are also guaranteeing that each time the £20,000 is won they will share an extra £1000 between everyone who bought a ticket for that game!

It just couldn’t be any easier to scoop a couple of extra quid to brighten up your January than to play at Mecca Bingo.

The ‘Twist’ in Family Fortune bingo is that players are matched up into to families of four. If any one of the family members wins, then all the family members win! It increase your chances of landing in the prize money and adds extra excitement to the game.

You can use the chat room on Jackpot Joy to socialize with your new found family members too, the prize money on offer isn’t massive, but the ticket prices to play are cheap. Family Fortunes isn’t the only bingo game at Jackpot Joy Bingo, you can play Price Is Right Bingo, Full House Bingo (Big Jackpot Games) plus 100s of instant wins, scratch cards and fruit machines.

I’ve produced a little video preview of the Family Fortunes bingo game below, just click the screen to watch. If you want to play the game for real Click Here.

Mark you calendars for Wednesday 16th December for the Roomie Christmas Party which they are going to pack with with sensational seasonal chat and bingo games as well as cracking give-aways including everyone’s favourite Christmas DVD’s and CD’s.

So what are you waiting for – if you’re not already a member then sign-up with Crown Bingo today and if you already do play there pop along and join in the fun on Wednesday 16th December from 6pm in Room 2!!!

They have five different things going on over the next few weeks so there’s absolutely going to be something to suit you…

Countdown to Christmas: Play either £2 on bingo or £10 on slots and and every day 10 lucky winners will be drawn to get the prize of the day e.g. today’s is £125 cash! You can also pick up PS3′s, sat nav’s, iPod’s and tonnes more…

BOGOF Bingo: Buy any standard Bingo 90 ticket and get another bingo ticket absolutely free. You can play every day from December 15th to 21st at 11am-12pm, 2-4pm and 6pm-8pm so plenty of choice!

Penny Bingo: Games on every single day where all cards are just 1p and the jackpot is a guaranteed £50!

Free Bingo: Every Tuesday in the Fashion Club is Free Bingo with £10 for one line, £15 for two lines and £50 for a full house. Games held between 8pm and 10pm, so keep your Tuesday nights free!

With all that going on I really don’t think you need any more incentive to get yourself to Sun Bingo today!

So bingo clubs are still paying 5% more in taxation than in 2009. No wonder online bingo is booming! The combination of the smoking ban, tax rise and the credit crunch has resulted in many bingo halls in England closing their doors. The UK Bingo tax is totally unfair, it amounts to a special tax on Bingo revenue. Bingo clubs, like all businesses, are subject to normal corporation tax on their profits. The Bingo tax rate has been applied only to land based bingo halls and all other forms of gaming, like sports betting, fruit machines and casinos enjoy the lower tax rate. Like most bingo players I believe that this tax is discriminatory, wrong, unfair and should be withdrawn.

The prizes will be given away in chat games, which run between 7.30 and 9pm on Saturday and 8-9pm on Sunday. Plus, Paddy Power Bingo be adding £500 each to selected jackpot games on both nights as follows: 20:48 Paddy’s 10p – £500, 21:24 Paddy’s 20p – £500, 21:48 Paddy’s 25p – £500. Even if you’re no Leona Lewis, I’m sure you’ll agree that these are prizes worth singing about, so make sure you join the fun on Paddy Power Bingo this weekend.

If you’re looking for something a little different to the usual cash match when you join a new bingo site then maybe Mecca Bingo have come up with the perfect promotion for you!

They have decided that their ‘Newbie’ bingo room was such a success last month that they are offering it across the board as their major new customer promotion.

So now you can play totally for FREE when you join up. How it works is like this… all new Mecca Bingo customers get to play bingo for FREE in their exclusive ‘newbie’ room but with a twist because the jackpots are for real cash.

You play in the special ‘Newbie’ room from 12-2pm and 7-9pm every day, so you can learn the ins and outs of how to play online bingo at no cost to yourself. And the best bit is that the jackpots in every game will be at least £25 and they’ll have their most experienced Chat Moderators (CMs) in the room to make sure any questions you have are answered right away.

You can also play as much as you want in the ‘newbie room’ so you can keep coming back and trying your luck!

Launched on 14th November as part of Mecca Bingo’s ‘Be Lucky’ campaign, members can claim this latest £50,000 cash prize by simply visiting Mecca Bingo and playing any standard 90 ball bingo game. The jackpot must be won in the next 72 hours and to ensure one lucky winner claims it, from Monday 30th November, Mecca Bingo will make it even easier to win by increasing the number of balls called every 30 minutes from 4pm.

The luck will also be spread amongst the remaining players in the room at the time the jackpot is claimed, by sharing out a community bonus of £5,000, giving everyone something to celebrate! Oh and keep an eye out for Mecca’s brand new television advert, celebrating almost 50 years of handing out prizes to lucky players. Showing nationwide now, you can’t miss the huge pink boxes and the catchy theme tune “Luck be a lady”!

For your chance to get lucky and win big this weekend, visit Mecca Bingo now. You can also read our full review of Mecca Bingo here.

There are of course plenty of tips to being more successful when you play such as finding a game that isn’t overcrowded in order to get a better shot at the jackpot! Remember though that the larger the group, the larger the prize is likely to be. Smaller games also give you a better opportunity to chat to your fellow players, and provide you with the chance to get advice from more seasoned players.

Online bingo also has the huge advantage of enabling you to play loads of cards at once, thereby increasing your chances of winning – imagine trying to mark hundreds of cards at a time by hand! Playing bingo online also allows you to choose to have your bingo cards auto-marked by the computer and the tickets are generally much cheaper than in the bingo halls and cost, on average, around 10p, so you definitely won’t break the bank by having a game!

However, if you are looking for bigger prizes, try playing games that have higher priced cards or look for offers where the jackpots are guaranteed. There are always great deals on offer – some bingo sites offer welcome bonuses, for example Jackpot Joy Bingo offer a 100% cash match up to £100, while Paddy Power Bingo offers buy one game card, get one free deals!!!

Just remember that bingo is purely a game for fun, and it should be remembered that it is at the end of the day, a game of chance! There is nothing you can do or skill you can acquire that will make you a better winner, so play for fun – if you win it’s a bonus!

There are also non-cash prizes – for example Foxy Bingo currently have promotion where you can win a cruise! Believe me, to a lot of women that sounds like heaven!! and Jackpot Joy Bingo are running a competition to win tickets to the live XFactor show. But it has to be admitted if it was simply the prizes that lured in the punters then bingo would be far outstripped popularity wise, by other online casino games.

However it is not just the prizes that lure us in! It’s the fun and camaraderie! Many games online are played simply for the gambling aspect, whereas bingo does not focus on this – it is the social aspect that appeals to many – you might start off as a stranger to everyone else but you quickly make friends! Everyone is so helpful and everyone wants all the other players to do well, learn about the site, the games and have a good old natter! The prizes are just a bonus! Losing doesn’t break anyone’s heart, or bank balance (!), and playing bingo online is considered a hobby – not a gambling addiction!! While the big bingo sites do offer ever greater prizes, due to competition from other sites, it has to be recognised that as long as there are chatrooms, and other players to get along with, then there will always be people playing bingo online!

If you have never played bingo either at a ‘real’ bingo hall or online then there is a little to learn before you proceed – but don’t worry, there isn’t much and it’s not at all difficult! It’s FUN! Most bingo sites have a page dedicated to telling you the rules and intricacies of the game depending on what way they do things at that particular site.

Here are some basic and important things you need to know before playing online bingo:
You will have to set up an account, which means depositing some funds so that you can start playing. Most sites give you sign up incentives – Jackpot Joy Bingo are currently matching any deposit you make from £10 ~ £100, in other words doubling your money. Adding funds is easy and can be done with a debit or credit card. If you are a bit of an online game newbie, don’t worry about this – all the bingo sites listed by me have been checked for security, fairness and game quality.

If you’re not too confident there are always free bingo games for you to start out in and get into your stride! But remember the golden rule of bingo – you’re there to have fun!

Bingo was mainly played in European fair grounds – the booth owner would pull numbered tokens randomly from a box and players would mark their cards with beans, hence the game became known as Beano. The first player to cover a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line on their card with beans would shout ‘Beano!,’ and claim a prize. Sometime in the 1930s a salesmen named Edwin Lowe from America came across the game in a Germany city, and decided to bring the idea back to the U.S. with him. On arrival back in the U.S. Lowe showed the game to his friends, one of them got quite excited when she won and called out ‘Bingo!’ instead of ‘Beano!,’ and the name stuck!

Lowe released a version of the game with a 12 and 24 card set, costing just a dollar or two dollars for the 24 card set. The game was a smash hit and spread quickly around the States, mainly being used to raise money for charitable causes by priests in Pennsylvania, but there was a problem in that the cards were delivering too many winners rather than the desired one or two, as previously they hadn’t been played by groups of players. The priest employed the services of a university mathematician at Colombia University, Carl Leffler, who invented 6000 different bingo card numerical variations. Bearing in mind there were no computers to help complete this task, the poor mathematician was driven insane – but the result was that there was now just one winner per bingo game.

Bingo didn’t become widely acknowledged until 1960, when the Gaming Act permitted such games to be played in members-only establishments. In 1968 a Gaming Board was set up to regulate Bingo clubs and another act was passed which allowed clubs to play bingo with cash prizes via tabletop coin slots. Bingo proved so popular that Bingo Halls were set up in all major towns in the UK, many of which still exist or have been revived in recent years.

Many people tried to imitate Lowe’s bingo game, but as he did not own the game, he asked that his competitors pay him $1 a year in return for using the name Bingo. This has resulted in Bingo being the generic name of all the variations of the game that exist today, including online bingo.

Online bingo has become extremely popular and figures released in 2007 by Global betting and Gaming Consultants, in a single year online Bingo generated wins of over £70 million, and it is predicted that the expected return on Bingo wins will reach £164 million by the year 2013! Bingo broadly appeals to women, with 85% of all online players being women. If you’d like to try online bingo for yourself then Jackpot Joy Bingo is the best place to play, you can join for free, you get a matched cash bonus on your first real money deposit and even regular games where the tickets are free.

75 Ball Bingo is the most popular form of the game in America, where up to 75 balls are called from 5 columns of fifteen balls, each column corresponding to one of the bingo letters. The bingo cards that are used in this version of the game have twenty-five squares, five across and five down and each column is marked with a bingo letter. Each square has a random number on it, ranging from numbers 1 to 75. To win at 75 Ball Bingo you have to be the first player to match the game pattern on your card with the balls called out. There is a huge combination of the patterns on the cards and there are static, corners, coverall and variable varieties.

90 Ball Bingo is the traditional bingo game of the United Kingdom and Australia and is similar to other forms of the game in that the customer buys cards and mark out the numbers that they have as they are called out. The player to complete the pattern is the winner. The difference between 75 and 90 Ball Bingo is the set up of the cards – in 90 Ball Bingo the cards have 3 rows and 9 columns, and 5 squares in each row contain some numbers from 1 to 90 as opposed to just 75. The winning patterns are always identical and there are 3 patterns in each game, each of which will have a prize associated with it. You can try out both types of bingo online at Jackpot Joy Bingo and also the excellent Sun Bingo website.

It is therefore always important to ensure that you know which pattern you’re playing!

• The Static pattern is a standard and well-known bingo pattern which cannot be changed or alternated and can only be won when each cell is marked on the bingo card.
• The Variable pattern is where variable patterns can be rotated in 90 degree increments.
• The Four corners pattern is where the player has to get the numbers at the four corners of the board in order to win the prize.
• The Coverall is sometimes called the ‘Blackout’ and is where players have to cover all numbers on their board. There is often a jackpot with this game where the prizes change the more calls that are made.
• The Wild pattern are bingo cards with scattered patterns that stay in the same place but may be anywhere on the card.

These are just a few of the patterns that you will find in bingo, others include: Diamond, Checkmark, Bowtie, Barbell, Block of 8, Arrowhead, Airplane, Loveletter….. the list goes on and on.

Find the best games – find the games that are most favourable in terms of payouts. Yes, bingo is fun but it is always best to have the best odds possible! This information is not always advertised but if you can determine the best percentage payoffs when you have a choice of games then this will give you the best chances of winning! Jackpot Joy Bingo and Paddy Power Bingo have some of the best value bingo games online.

Manage your money – this is always important whenever you are placing wagers. Limit the amount you spend on your cards to what you can afford – and stick to it! Don’t get too carried away, as this can prevent you from limiting your risk to acceptable levels. Remember, even though you are not handing over ‘physical’ money, it is still coming out of your bank account!

Playing multiple cards – the more cards you play the more chance you have of scooping the prize! To put it simply, if there are 50 cards in play and you have 4 of them, you automatically have four times the chance of winning than the person who has just one card. However, this does not give you better odds overall! The odds of the game are what they are no matter how many cards you play. It is also worth remembering that the more cards you play the more the house will make out of you! So you might be shouting ‘bingo’ more often but at the end of the day if you are spending more money on cards than your fellow players who hold only one set of cards then you need to be shouting bingo a lot more! Therefore make sure you play the number of cards that give you the most pleasure and stay within your comfort zone both emotionally and financially!

Choosing non-duplicate cards – if you choose to play multiple cards choose cards with the least amount of duplication as possible. Look for unique sets that make more numbers in total.

Enjoy yourself! There is absolutely no point in getting involved in bingo if you are not playing it to have fun. Bingo is after all a game which is played to be sociable, hence the huge community/forum/chatroom groups on most online bingo sites. If you are just in the game to win then you are missing out on the opportunity of meeting lots of other bingo fans, who, whilst love shouting ‘bingo,’ also love the thrill of the chat!

Speaking at the AGM of the Remote Gambling Association Mr Godbold urged the industry to ‘blow its own trumpet more’  in terms of  the work operators have undertaken of their own volition to counter problem gambling over the last 10 years.

He said: “This is one area where the gambling industry is unique.  The drinks industry doesn’t look after its problem drinkers and the retail industry doesn’t look after problem shoppers.The gambling industry has funded, set-up and run the whole operation for problem gamblers.”

On another note the UK’s Labour government has been labelled vindictive and out of touch with its working class roots during a Parliamentary debate on bingo taxation. The blistering attack from Tory MP Philip Davies came when he questioned the motives behind the increase in bingo tax to 22 per cent in the last Budget. He argued that increased taxation will lead to more club closures, with 29 ceasing to trade already this year, and the consequent devasting effects felt by the communities they served.

If you love playing bingo then why not try playing it online? Jackpot Joy Bingo allows you to join and play for free, if you enjoy the free games then you can always play for real money prizes, jackpots range from £100 ~ £200,000 and the bingo tickets can be purchased for pennies.
