80 ball online bingo
80 ball online bingo
The 80-ball game could be seen as having been less popular than the 75 and 90-ball games but with sites such as Gala , The Sun and Jackpotjoy supporting this alternative you're more likely than ever to come across it.

Stating the obvious, the 80-ball bingo game sits nicely in between the two other versions but is played on a four by four card. When playing 80-ball bingo there are new ways to win such as the four corners game. With extra numbers available there are also new patterns to bingo on depending on what site you play with.

Each of the above sites supports a different way to play and has different terminology for 80 ball games, but don't let this deter you. Whether you play on just one site or across a few, the 80-ball experience is unlike those more commonly played and so is well worth learning a few simple pointers.

ITV bingo night live
ITV bingo night live
Since announcing its launch Bingo Hideout have given ITV's Bingo Night Live a couple of weeks to settle into the new format before reviewing it. We like to be fair at Bingo Hideout and since we believe this new way to play has huge potential and could - with the right audience share - make the move onto prime time telly we have held back. Unlike other sites that were quick to judge and jumped on the slightest failing of the first few shows, we wanted to be able to give this fledgling project a chance.

The ITV show Bingo Night Live is hosted by Melinda Messenger and Micheal Underwood and is presented in a glitzy and fresh format, which these presenters suit to a tee. The main concept behind the programme is it's simply an entertaining way to spend time and, since you can play for free, that's a winning format for all players.

ImageBingo Hideout is sad to confirm that the 2008 Bingo Caller of the Year Competition has been suspended. Although the National Bingo Games Association has said the competition is to be reinstated as soon as possible in 'an exciting and further-reaching format', this is little consolation to those who were in the running this year.

So why has this happened? Sadly this is yet another example of the multitude of changes that are currently rocking the stability of the live bingo world. This suspension has come about as a result of the wider reaching changes in the world of live bingo that we have been discussing at Bingo Hideout recently are having.

Image We've been checking in with Ruby Bingo this week to see what they've got planned for June and the Summer months, and, true to form they have some fab choices of promos and games to keep us all feeling the heat. In fact this download site has so many specials and games on promotion every time we look that it's hard to know where to start, but here goes…

First up is our choice of good old-fashioned fun. The return of 99 Pints of Beer on the Wall sees a return to the bingo games of old and reminds us why we love to play bingo in the first place. Back by player demand, this tourney- like chat game means players have to keep an eye on who takes the prize in each game. If they're Out Of Chat at the time of winning, Ruby will put 25p in the Beer Mug. Once 99 OFC wins have been reached, the First In Chat winner on a full house will win £15BPS.

Fairness in online bingo
Fairness in online bingo
With the issue of fair games featuring in our forum this week, we’ve been investigating what measures online bingo sites have in place to make sure players get a fair game every time.

A game of chance?

Unlike in a game of live bingo, online bingo players are not able to see the numbers being drawn and have to trust in the site’s bingo software to run smoothly and fairly. There are numerous was in which your favourite site can ensure that all players get an equal chance to win including the use of random number generators. These are used for most online gambling games and provide the unpredictability that games such as online bingo rely on. Unlike betting on a horse, where a number of factors can influence the outcome of a race, playing a game of online bingo is entirely a game of chance and depends – unpredictability is an essential part of the fun.
