If you are a Jackpot Joy bingo fan, you may be pleased to know that the site will be undergoing more than just a spring clean, there is going to be a whole new revamp. The big switch takes place on Monday the 29th March so get ready for some great new stuff. If change is not something you are fond of, don’t worry too much, you will still be able to enjoy all your old favourite games. There is nothing on this planet that would make Jackpot Joy do away with their members’ favourite games.

Still it’s out with the old and in with the new and this always means special prizes, bonuses and promotions for us, so we have something grand to look forward to. A whole lot of new features are coming on-board as well as new graphics, and as this is already a brilliant site, I reckon they really have something special planned.

Daily linked games will feature and these will be guaranteed prize money games for big cash prizes at 7pm. They have been a bit short on the free bingo in the past, but now they are catching up with the times and offering these games, so £1000 worth of free bingo prizes will also be given away daily!!
New members can still pick up a 100% cash match as a first deposit welcome bonus and if you want to sign up now its fine, Jackpot Joy is still online. This site is the home to games such as Family Fortunes, Deal or No Deal, Price is Right and many others and Star Jackpots which climb the Money Mountain to the peak are valued at £70 000 a month.  Make sure you get your share of all the great fun and great prizes, and make a note in your diary to check out what the new site looks like!

Land based Bingo operators in the UK have been bemoaning their downcast fate for a couple of years now. Reasons for bingo clubs closing down have been cited as being the non-smoking ban, the changes in the Gambling Act and unfair Taxation. But perhaps what they really need is to look at how adaptable this game is and how it manages to be reincarnated with a just a little imagination!
Rebel Bingo has hit the streets of the UK after starting in London and it is said to be both “dangerous and addictive.” So this is a new slant on UK bingo if ever I saw it!

These bingo meetings are being held in secret locations and the “Authorities” are after them. It reminds me of the way the “Rave” was managed in its early days. The brainchild of co-founders Freddie Sorensen and James Gordon, the Underground Rebel Bingo Club is appealing to thousands of younger players. These guys started the club in a disused church basement were they found a bingo wheel and a couple of girls started playing.
It’s Friday Night and bingo with a twist is now taking place in secret venues all over the UK with new formats for the game, cheeky rhyming slang and booze. The entrance fee is £15 and bingo with a twist is enjoying a massive makeover at these get-togethers.

The events are advertised as a “Neighborhood Watch” meeting and invitations are sent by email. Members are asked to make sure they are not followed!! There is far less attention on prize money and winners may end up with a stuffed Panda, but this is party time where players stand to fill in their bingo cards and 400 to 1100 bingo players per night are found attending.
Lucky winners are placed in the spotlight as if they were rock stars, and this is late night bingo at its best with an after party to match. The older generation of bingo player, doesn’t seem to get it, but the youngsters are loving this new risqué version of bingo!

The latest Come Spin With me promotion at Wink Bingo has them asking “who doesn’t like money?” Well who doesn’t? I don’t believe anyone can say they don’t! To win some extra money to buy Easter Eggs, or whatever you want, you will have to play slots games too and here we get to ask another important question. Who doesn’t like playing slots? There can’t be many “no” answers to that question!

All you have to do to win some brilliant prizes is play instant games at Wink Bingo. Games such as Cleopatra, Wheel of Light, 6 Card Bingo, which are new, but you can also bingo on the “£” pattern or number 26. This will earn you points in the Come Spin With Me promotion up till the 5th April. Check out the leader board to see how many tournament points you have accumulated, because the first prize winner will receive £250 in cash and there are four runner-up cash prizes too!!

Play free bingo until the 5th of April also, Wink has opened two new free bingo rooms in honour of Easter celebrations and they will be giving away jackpot prizes totalling £20,000 during this promotion. This means free bingo games and real cash prizes, so make sure you get your share of the fun and games as well as the real cash prizes.

A free bingo game with a £300 funded prize takes place in 90 ball bingo every single day and you really could be cashing in by playing in and winning this game.

I have to say that Golden Hat Bingo is on the ball, they have still got their prizes up for this month and be quick, you have only until the 31st March to enter. When I first came across this bingo site, it was brand new, and I was impressed then with the effort they made, they have continued to make just such an effort and they are very deserving of accolade.

Five lucky players will win these also.

St. Paddy’s Day is the feast which celebrates the Patron Saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. Although I am not sure if it celebrates the date of his canonization, or death or what, it is held on the 17th March, which is Wednesday this week. The Cheltenham Festival is generally also held on the same day and attracts a lot of Irish visitors as well as people from Great Britain. Although certainly not a celebration the size of the Cheltenham Festival, Betfred Bingo will be hosting their own little St. Paddy’s Day festival, so if you can’t get to Cheltenham, invite Betfred Bingo into your home and have a ball there too.

There will be prizes galore up for grabs in hunt the Shamrock. Win in the bingo rooms on the Shamrock pattern and be invited to choose a number from 1 – 50 and you could win free bingo bonuses valued from £5 to £25 or be the lucky winner of a £20 High Street shopping voucher. Hope the luck of the Irish is with you and join in the fun and games from 12 – 2pm in Cloud Nine, 2pm to 4pm in

Royal Court; 4pm to 6pm in the Velvet Lounge, 6pm to 8pm in the Barmy Club, 8pm to 10mp in the Singles Bar and from 10pm to midnight in the Betfred Bunker.

To qualify for these fun St. Patrick Day celebration games, you need to have made a deposit into your Betfred Bingo account in the past 15 days, and buy tickets into the game involved in the Shamrock Hunt. Remember these are additional prizes over and above the game prize. If you register as a new member on the day, this will qualify you to play in these games too, just as soon as you have made your first deposit!

No other bingo operator splashes the cash quite like Gala Bingo, march promotions at the site are at an all time high as they prepare to give away Tiffany & Co diamonds (someone will be dripping in them); Exclusive VIP ticket packages to see Michael Buble. A Mini Cooper and iPods, and more than £2 500 in cash prizes in a live blackjack tournament.

Not only this, but Gala land-based clubs have also been busy splashing the cash recently and one in particular, the Gala Bingo – Hounslow. This club was the scene of some rather splendid celebrations when only 32 players were in the club and a luck player hit the Gala High 5.

This game is played online also and the tenets of the game dictate it is a progressive jackpot prize, which is seeded and grows until someone calls bingo on a number ending in “5″. While there are ample opportunities to do this with ball calls, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 and so on, up to 90 calls. It doesn’t happen very often and when it did in Hounslow, there was  £235 000 in the prize pot!!

Another feature of the High 5 dictates that half the prize money goes to the winner, which in this case was personal payout of a total of £128,000 (the winner wants to remain anonymous). And the balance goes to the members playing in that club at the time. Seeing as there was only 31 other players, each o f them won a share of  £125,000; which is just over £4 000 each!! I’ll bet there was some smiling faces in Hounslow and I’ll bet a certain anonymous Gala Bingo player has made some friends for life too?
One player who was there with her mum, said they just looked at each other and smiled. But they were all eager to congratulate the winner, who has been a member there for years and also thank her for winning for them too.

If you are already making plans to turn your Easter from a “good” one into a “great” one, you need to play at the all new Tasty Bingo. This site has just come live online from Brigend/Casava, and you can already tell it isn’t another one of those “skin” sites that looks the same and offers the same as all the others. Everything about tasty Bingo is different and they are hitting the ground running with their Easter promotion – the £2k Egg Hunt.

This game is set to play on Sunday the 4th April at 7pm, so make a note now and stick it on the fridge if you are not a very organized person. Fridge notes never get lost!

There are more than a few eggs in this Tasty Bingo Easter egg hunt! If you find the Golden egg, you will hopefully be as chuffed as a chicken when you are on your way to the bank to deposit your winnings. The first prize is £1500 and £500 will be shared with all 1tgs (this is also a new concept). Bingo tickets cost £1 each, but you can also earn tickets into the game by participating in certain activities to accumulate points.
