How many of you have played the new Bingo Roulette game at Tombola Bingo? Take your standard online bingo game, and mix with a generous pinch of roulette, and hey presto – you’ve got an exciting new version of the classic game of bingo!
Personally, I really enjoy the different perspectives that Tombola Bingo bring to the game of online bingo. Some of their latest inventions are really cool and imaginative, take Roller Coaster, or Freefall, the free bingo game at Tombola that lasts for a week – all of these are bingo game variants that spice up the excitement and make for a very enjoyable experience.
Bingo Roulette is another one in this great class of bingo games, and the excitement of playing in a real casino is successfully incorporated into the design of this game. Just watch all your busy bingo buddies chatting away as the roulette wheel spins relentlessly round and round, calling out their numbers, you can almost imagine everyone standing around a real roulette table!
When you see Bingo Roulette in action, you wonder why nobody ever thought of this before. Using the roulette table which is numbered from 0 to 36, that’s 37 numbers in total, each bingo player has a ‘card’ where they can choose which 8 numbers to place their chips on.
The goal is exactly the same as regular bingo, every spin of the roulette wheel brings a different number which removes the winning chips from the layout. There are prizes for 1 line, 2 lines and Full House bingo. And to make it even more attractive, if you can clear all your 8 chips in 12 spins or less, you win the game jackpot of £400, £1000 or £2000 – depending on which of the three Bingo Roulette rooms you’re playing in.
In just a short time, I believe this new game was only launched last week, Bingo Roulette has become a big hit at Tombola, and has already paid out more than £50,000 in jackpot prizes! Definitely worth checking out Bingo Roulette!

Although the focus here at Bingostreet.com is mainly online bingo, what many bingo fans don’t realise is the sheer wealth of online slots included in their favourite online bingo software programs.
And we’re not just talking small 3 reel fruit machines, a lot of bingo sites sport a really decent collections of slots, super slots and multiline slots complete with hefty jackpots – good enough to compete with any online casino.
It was good to see that just yesterday Wink Bingo announced one of their latest bingo promotions, which for a nice change focuses on one of their popular multiline slot games, Sands of Fortune.
Sands of Fortune hides its splendours deep within the Wink Bingo software, but this is a proper online slot machine that could sit proudly in any online casino. Sporting a dramatic soundtrack that fits perfectly with the exciting and mysterious storyline about the hidden treasures deep in the tombs of ancient Egypt, this online bingo site slot machine pays out dramatically too, with a jackpot to the tune of £100,000.
Normally you’ll find the slot games neatly packed away in the Instant Games or Mini Games sections of online bingo sites, and if you haven’t had the chance to explore these extra slot games that are available to bingo fans, then I urge you to give them a spin!

Exactly what great crime is it that our faithful old bingo halls in the UK have committed to deserve such unfair treatment by the government?
With Bingo Halls dropping like flies all over the UK, forced to closure because of Big Brother government moves to apply double taxes, take away their high jackpot slot machines, and to add insult to injury, apply a smoking ban to the whole of the UK. All these measures plus the general recession has forced our traditional bingo clubs to their knees, begging for a fair chance.
The 2009 Budget revealed yesterday by the Chancellor at first seemed to be heaven-sent for Bingo Halls, when they realised that VAT was going to be dropped for Bingo. Unfortunately the Bingo gaming tax increased at the same time from 15% up to 22%, basically meaning no change.
On the other hand, the online bingo business in the UK is positively booming. Perhaps leaping off the back of the apparently doomed land-based bingo industry, and bringing the game of bingo back into the limelight, with an increasingly younger generation of bingo fans, and tons of appealing free bingo games to get your teeth into.
So what does the future hold for our grand old Bingo halls? With all the pressure from our leading UK operators including Rank and Gala Bingo, you’d expect some backing from the government, but there appears to be none. Looks like the cards are on the table, and the Bingo Halls will have to battle it out for themselves.
How can you help? Get your Legs Eleven a-walking down to your local Bingo Hall right now!

Bingostreet broke the news in an exclusive yesterday about the long-expected massive makeover for one of our dead fave bingo sites, Posh Bingo, and we waited with baited breath all day for the beautiful phoenix to step out of the flames, but a few technical hiccups delayed the launch which had originally been scheduled for noon.
Posh Bingo finally launched yesterday evening, and you’ve never seen such a total makeover for an online bingo site in your life. Take a trip with your mouse to www.PoshBingo.com and see for yourself. I must admit I did pop in to the new Posh Bingo last night to try out their free bingo games, and yes, they really are free!
The beautiful chocolatey-pink colour scheme is probably the first thing you’ll notice, this bingo site is really decked-up to the nines, celebrating everything that is posh, including a cheeky little madam of a poodle right next to the new bingo site logo, nice touch.
The second thing that hit me was the Free Bingo games plastered all over the bingo site, and we’re not just talking one or two free bingo games a day, Posh Bingo have now got 2 dedicated free bingo rooms, no deposit required, where you win random cash jackpots all day every day, a wonderful idea for bingo fans who are struggling with the credit crunching gloom.
So we’ve got a brand new wardrobe, and non-stop free bingo games, what else? Well the biggest news is that Posh Bingo has finally got its very own bingo network, which means the folks behind the scenes have got the freedom to offer bingo fans much more choice, with unique bingo games, exciting bingo promotions and bingo jackpots, without having to tow the line.
And Posh Bingo has already broken away from the crowd, only the 2nd bingo site that I’m aware of to provide 2 dedicated bingo rooms to non-stop free bingo games every day. Along with the free bingo games, you’ll find tons of penny bingo games, 1p, 2p, 3p, 5p, 10p bingo games – all in all, a great range of online bingo games tailored for the gloomy depression we’re living through atm. But you’ll also find a ton of big bingo games with really juicy jackpots up for grabs, so it doesn’t really matter about the state of your bingo budget, Posh Bingo caters for everyone.
The beauty of having your own network, gives a bingo site the freedom to choose exactly what bingo games it’ll offer, along with unique bingo promotions and top bingo bonuses, all in all, I think bingo fans will be very happy with the re-birth of Posh Bingo, I know I can’t wait to get stuck in again tonight and have a real explore!

I’ve noticed that quite a few online bingo sites have been doing a lotta spring cleaning on their websites, it seems to be the latest fad in bingo town, and a move surely intended to attract even more new bingo fans.
One such online bingo site rumoured to be making a grand re-entrance into the world of online bingo UK very soon is Posh Bingo. Posh Bingo is actually a very interesting bingo site, and has been around for years. Perhaps not one of the most exciting bingo sites in town, yet it’s been a steady and reliable bingo website with a surprising number of loyal members.
With my ears tuned in to the bingo pipeline in recent weeks, strong rumours are surfacing about Posh Bingo, that it’s actually more than just a mere makeover, and we could be seeing a totally new bingo site in town, out with the old Posh Bingo and in with the new!
I’m extremely curious as to what changes will be made to Posh Bingo, in spite of it being one of my top bingo sites for ages, it can sometimes pale into the background when you compare it with the ritz and pzazz of other top UK bingo sites. Hopefully the makeover will change all this, and we’ll see Posh Bingo rocket to the top of the chart in a brand new lease of life.
