With online bingo still seeing huge numbers of new players come over to the game, this week we thought we’d do our bit to help any newbies out there get in the game as soon as possible. So we have drawn up a quick guide to the various bingoing terms used on most sites. Hopefully, with this knowledge under your belt you’ll know what to expect from the outset and enjoy the game you’ve chosen all the better for it.
Guaranteed Jackpot
Happily this does exactly what it says on the tin and offers you the chance to win the stated amount in a game. Many of the big name brands will offer a guaranteed amount in a game then fix the terms of play so that you can win more than the base guaranteed amount depending on how many balls it takes to bingo.
The recent Goldent Ticket game from 888 Ladies Bingo is a good example of this method of play. Offering £5,000,000 for a full house within a relatively small number of calls, the money decreased with every ball called until it reached the guaranteed amount. The brilliant thing about these games is that you know how much you’ll win if you hit bingo. Making these extremely popular, it’s often a good idea to pre- buy tickets for games like these just to make sure you get in the game.
