Bingo + Lottery - a match made in heaven!
- 06 Oct 08
Recently, we at Bingo Hideout have heard of a fantastic new idea from Bingos.co.uk that marries two of our most favourite pastimes at the Hideout. A lottery syndicate through an online bingo site is a massive idea that offers everyone a new way to win on a web site and in one of the biggest jackpots in the UK.
Taking part in the Euromillions draw, the staff at Bingos.co.uk chose 50 differing sets of numbers for the final draw so players would win a share of the £100 million jackpot if their syndicate numbers came up.

Have you found the winning formula?
- 28 Sep 08
While we all recognise that the game of bingo is about chance rather than skill, there are those out there who believe that there are ways and means of winning. With everything from consideration of the number of players in a room to having a lucky mascot present, whether you're playing free online bingo or for real, the number of suggested ways to help you win seems almost limitless.
This week we've been investigating ways to get the most of your game outside of a quick dose of free bingo and have come across the fascinating theories of Joseph E Granville. Granville's theory about bingo starts with the process of card selection. When playing Internet bingo, the computer chooses the cards. But all is not lost, as Granville says that in this instance you should play with fewer cards.
How to choose your bingo ID
- 27 Sep 08
There are many ways to choose your alter ego when becoming a player on a new bingo site. Part of the appeal of online bingo for most players is the social aspect with live chat offering a window into the world of roomies from the minute you start play.
Creating a bingo ID or player profile name which is best suited to who you are is an essential part of joining in at your chosen site right from accepting your free sign up bonus.
Shake your bingo wings along with Biggins
- 26 Sep 08
We all know the old B I N G O song about the farmer's dog but luckily there is another new song to come on the scene with bingo as its theme.
Thanks to Christopher Biggins, star of I'm A Celebrity, the new 'Bingo Wings' song (a song dedicated to the beauty of being big) is becoming hugely popular. Although not every player of Internet bingo has 'bingo wings' in the traditional sense, this song has a positive message for the larger lady and is all about letting your hair down and having fun.
In our opinion here at the Hideout, the message behind this song describes free uk bingo and cash-based games better than any song about a dog and it's great fun too! Of course, the term 'bingo win-gs' could be applied to the game in another positive fashion and we at the Hideout are campaigning for the term to be adopted across the big bingo sites as a sign of celebration; after all, when players win big they can be said to be flying on their 'bingo win-gs' while they celebrate their bingo bonus.
What do you think of this idea? We think it's a great idea to appropriate a negative term and give it a positive spin. So let us know if you've got your 'bingo win-gs' on this week after winning or after meeting someone special while online. Let us know what's been going on in your game so we can celebrate with you!
Visit the Mecca of UK Bingo
- 24 Sep 08
Since the 1960's Mecca Bingo has been one of the top names in uk bingo. With all aspects of bingo covered including hugely popular live halls and a massive online bingo site, Mecca is still proving today that innovation and commitment to players is what makes for a strong brand.
The Mecca site’s strong point is community. With different daily themes for bingo games online, you're bound to meet up with likeminded players. Whether you're looking for Penny Bingo to fill your Sunday or you love Chat game fun on a Friday, the players you meet will match your game and with the most fun CM's online you're bound to have a laugh.
Mecca has introduced two ways to play while online – with the new 80-ball game and the Joker Jackpot games to choose from you'll be spoilt for choice. We love the Joker Jackpot at Bingo Hideout. A twist on the traditional game, cards are drawn from a playing card deck instead of balls. It’s a short blast of fun that can't be had elsewhere and it has us on the edge of our seat every time. With only 54 cards to choose from and a mere 9 cards on every ticket this game is fast and furious but has great payouts and is brilliant if you've only got a few minutes to spare!
