Bingo Boat - details

4th May 2010
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby, won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise…..

I want to take a cruise down the river and it’s right on time to set sail. Good times, good friends and the sea breeze at your back. The cooler is brimming with ice cold beer and mixers for your favorite cocktail. There is nothing like cruising on a Sunday afternoon. I get lost at sea and it would seem as if I want to never hit dry land again. Watching on the sunset as it seems to sink into the abyss, brings me to place of tranquility. As I step off the boat and head for home there is but one place left I can set sail tonight……Bingo Boat!

I have 5 bb’s in my account and there is just one slot perfect to play…..Fish Toons. This is a 5 line video slot. I have never played a video slot before online that didn’t have a bonus round feature so this will be a new experience for me. I did learn that without a bonus feature that the reels paid more. I also liked that the pay lines were from right to left as well as left to right giving me opportunities to win.

The coin value I choose was the minimum of 5 cents for a total bet of .75. I had to wager as low as possible given the small bankroll I had. The reels are filled with fishies of all different colors and one grey shark. I spin the reels and on the very first spin, what do I hit? Four sharks for 30 bucks…….oo-ee, oo-ee baby!! Now I got bankroll to work with. I just hope I don’t rock the boat!

The fishes in this sea would good to me. I landed 5 fish 3x’s that paid $15 each. I got my bb’s up to 73 before I decided to call It a night. I didn’t want to rock this boat and tip it over! The only water I’m heading to now is the shower. Did it tell ya I sing in the shower? Grabbing the soap I clear my throat and start singing…….oo-ee, oo-ee baby, let me take ya on a sea cruise!

Let’s do the Wild Thing…….

Working all week, 9 to 5 for money. So when the weekend comes I go get live with my honey! Wild thing…..she loved to do the wild thing! As I was mopping the kitchen floor Tone Loc was blasting through my radio. I took that mop and twirled around the kitchen as if it was a dance floor. When the song was over I was feeling a bit wild myself. I tossed that bucket of dirty water, hung the mop out to dry and I’m ready for my own wild thing. Let’s do it!

Wild Vegas the new slot at Big Heart Bingo is my wild ride. This is a 30 line video slot. Everything you would see in Vegas I on the reels. The Blue dice is for the craps in you. The joker is for the poker in you. The chips are for the table games in you. Throw in the singer who will swoon you with a martini in one hand and your playing wild in Vegas!

The minimum coin denomination for this slot is 5 cents/pounds. I played one bet per line for a max total of 1.50 per spin. I have to admit I was hesitating to play this game being I was down to a mere 3.90bbs. I knew I was only good for a couple of spins.

This slot is my new found love. The bonuses were generous to say the least. One thing I liked about this game is it only takes 2 scatters to trigger the bonus round. In most games I have played, 3 scatters or more are needed. Let’s not forget about the blue hearts, these are wild.

Within a couple spins I land 2 scatters for 5 free spins. There is a retrigger feature when 2 or more scatters come up during the bonus round giving me 5 extra spins. This happened a lot! All and all I would say I got the bonus feature at least 10 times, with retriggers on most bonus rounds.

I found that even without the bonus feature the reels paid well for me too. More than once I received $28.00 on one spin and anywhere between $5-$10 on a single spin. At one point I had 126bb’s. Not bad with a starting bankroll of 3.90 in bbs.

It is one of my new favorite slots in the world of bingo and I will be back! If I hear Tone Loc sing to me….”Be my queen, if ya know what I mean. Let’s do the wild thing”, I will be back quicker than I anticipated, playing Wild Vegas!

Rolling out the dough….I’d rather be rolling in the dough!

There Is nothing like the smell of homemade bread that lingers through the house. Rolling out the bread after it has risen, I look like a complete mess. I have to admit I am a messy baker. I had flour in my hair, on my face and my clothes! Putting a nice loaf of bread in the oven, i’m in a dough state of mind. I have 45 minutes to spare before the bread is baked. What to do….what to do…

Every house rolls out dough at one time or another…..so I head for House of Bingo to roll “in” some dough. Rolling in the Dough is a new slot that I am going to play with my 5bbs they so generously placed in my account.

This is a 50 line Video slot. I love 50 line slots. The combinations are endless. So many nice little surprise wins on the reels you miss with the naked eye. Sometimes I sit back and look at a win and I think to myself “really” that is a winner! Hey, it works for me.

This is a slot for the rich and famous. We are talking fancy yachts, diamonds that would impress the queen herself and vaults full of hard cold cash! I feel like a high roller as the minimum bet for this slot is 2.50 a spin. With a bankroll of only 5bb’s, this is what we call taking a gamble!

I need at least to scatters for the bonus round and only to spins in which to do pull it off. Can I do…..lets spin the reels and see what happens. The first spin gave nothing, absolutely zero, nada and zilch! One more spin for the high roller living at large.

I spin the reel one more time and I my eyes begin to squint, afraid to look. I don’t hear and whistles or bells. Again not a darn single, solitary win. There is only one thing left to do. Have to make a deposit. I can’t just walk away and never see this slot work its magic with some big hits on the reels.

With time to spare and 35 more minutes left til my own dough is ready to taken out of the oven…….i make a deposit. Did I hit the bonus feature? Did I catch a nice win on the reels....stay tuned. My timer just went off on the oven….

Bingon - details

28th April 2010
Hi gang:

Just been playing over at Bingon .com and having a blast. I took advantage of our exclusive there for a free 5. Just be sure to put the LBB code in when you are signing up.( Players can spend this bonus only playing bingo. The winnings generated can be used for casino games. There is no wagering requirements. ) Signing up was easy, and after you verify your account your free money is there automatically.

I headed in to the 75 ball game, and cards where .10 a piece. I played several rounds, and came soooooo close, but no Bingo's for me this time. I was looking over their slot games, and they look like so much fun, I just know they would of been fun to try, but alas, no win from Bingo to try the slots.

They do not have a Live chat option, but they do have a "customer support" section that you fill out the chart with your question, and it is sent off to the proper dept. I sent off a question I had, and they got back to me within 20 minutes. Also, they have a terrific chat personel in the bingo rooms that is likely to be able to help you right away if you have a question.

Their two top deposit options are Visa/Mastercard, (credit card/debit card) and Moneybookers. Minimum deposit is $10 using credit card. This site was fun, easy to understand, and moved quickly. I love the callers accent when he is calling out the numbers. lol

Bingon and its associated companies have been involved in bingo and social networking for over 10 years. Bingon is proud to be part of Mediterranean Gaming Ltd in Malta where it must adhere to strict local laws and comply with the authorities. As part of the European Union’s jurisdiction, Bingon must also follow strict Data Protection laws.

My screen shot is not a winning one Im afriad, but it does give you an idea what the site looks like, and how it is laid out. So many Bingo sites, there is just not enough hours in the day. LOL Head over to BINGON.COM for alot of fun, and a free 5 on them. Thanks LBB for a great time, and a new site.

History of Bingo

In the U.S., bingo was originally called "beano". It was a country fair game where a dealer would select numbered discs from a cigar box and players would mark their cards with beans. They yelled "beano" if they won.

When the game reached North America in 1929, it became known as "beano". It was first played at a carnival near Atlanta, Georgia. New York toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe renamed it "bingo" after he overheard someone accidentally yell "bingo" instead of "beano". He hired a Columbia University math professor, Carl Leffler, to help him increase the number of combinations in bingo cards. By 1930, Leffler had invented 6,000 different bingo cards. [It is said that Leffler then went insane.

A Catholic priest from Pennsylvania approached Lowe about using bingo as a means of raising church funds. When bingo started being played in churches it became increasingly popular. By 1934, an estimated 10,000 bingo games were played weekly, and today more than $90 million dollars are spent on bingo each week in North America alone.

Hi gang:

Todays blog is fun....It isnt about playing at a certain site this week.

This was a really great article about the history of Bingo and I thought you might all enjoy it. It was a quick read, and easy to understand. I read alot of articles about Bingo lately and I liked this one best.

Who out there hasnt tried Bingo yet? It is exciting, fast paced, and you can win some real money. Bingo is no longer a game played by just older women.

According to stats gathered by Phil Fraser, founder of WhichBingo.com, online bingo players are getting younger. Fraser's figures show that nearly 25% of online players are under 35 and the size of the under- 35 segment grows each year. Online Bingo is becoming a popular game to play by the coveted 18-39 year old demograhic in countries around the world.

The popularity of the Internet has brought bingo out of Church basements and into computer owners home the past few years. The death of bingo has been predicted many times during the last 50 years however it keeps coming back strong. Now thanks to the Internet online bingo is rising in popularity since bingo is the world’s most socially acceptable form of gambling, it’s not suprising that its growth continues at record levels. In the UK alone, bingo players wagered 1.4 billion (British Pound Sterling) at land-based bingo halls.

Have I convinced you yet to try Bingo? lol LBB has an incredible amount of Exclusives for you to try a Bingo site.

Bingo sites offer deposit options as casinos do, many with small minimum depsoits. Live chat for your questions, and a promise of having a great time. Internet Bingo does everything for you. You simply buy your cards, sit back and enjoy yourself. That is when the fun really starts.

Wether it is online or at a Bingo hall, Bingo is here to stay for a very long time. Give it a try. I bet you'll enjoy yourself.

Thanks for reading......
