Bingo Gala Launches Free Bingo Room

Leading online bingo site, Bingo Gala, has launched 2 new bingo rooms including an all free bingo room.  The free bingo room called “Sub-Zero”  allows members to play free bingo online 24/7 and win real cash.

A new game starts every 10 minutes with a Jackpot of $100 and a prize of $1 up for grabs.  While playing bingo, players can also enjoy a variety of side games  including slots, keno, pull tabs and  more.

In addition to the Sub-Zero room, Bingo Gala also launched its “Ritz Bingo Room”.  This plays classic 75 ball bingo games with the maximum number of cards that can be purchased being 24.  This gives a greater chance for players who prefer to purchase less cards to win.

It was just revealed that two lucky players, one from the US and another one from Canada, each scooped the $500 Coverall Jackpot on the 4th and 9th of December respectively.

First it was the player that goes by the nickname “JVNowak” from Beldin in Michigan that won the $500 Coverall Jackpot after placing a small bet of $2.25. Later on the 9th of December, the player also known as “dieanne” to the rest of the roomies from Ontario in Canada won the $500 Jackpot after placing a bet worth $7.25.

But it’s not just their exciting bingo games that reward members at Bingo Gala with great cash prizes. Their side games have a very loyal following and there is a very good reason behind that.

Not only the side games have great graphics and animations but they also give players the chance to win some massive progressive jackpots.

The player by the nickname “snow drift”, also from Ontario, Canada, won a cool $1,000 while playing KENO after the 7 numbers she picked appeared nicely on the board.

Other side games include Slots, Pull Tabs, Roulette, Jacks or Better as well as more Instant and Casino games.

New Bingo Gala Slot Machines Pay Out Big

Spin Castle Slot MachineEver since Bingo Gala went flash and introduced some amazing new online slot machines more and more bingo players are getting fixated on them.

Members at the very popular online bingo room that recently had the chance to win big include “rabbitt”, “lilwadewill” and “dozy46”.

The big spin for the player known as “rabbitt” came on November 14th when a single spin on the Spin Castle Slot machine rewarded this player from Winder, Georgia the massive prize of $1,500.00.

Less than ten days later on November 23rd, “lilwadewill” from Bristol, Connecticut was laughing all the way to the bank as her single spin struck the big money and also won $1,500.00 on the Spin Castle Slot machine.

Another popular slot machine at the moment seems to be the 4-reel, 5 payline Buried Treasure game that features reel icons such as pirates, gold coins, ships, flags and many more.

The player known only as “dozy46” from Tewin in the United Kingdom won $560 on a small $3.50 bet after she hit 4 pirates on the reels, but things could have been a lot brighter for this player.

Had she played max bet on max denomination she would have won the Buried Treasure Progressive Jackpot which currently stands at well over $20,000.

Bingo Gala players get a 200% bonus on their first deposit and have the chance to win life changing jackpots.

Global recession takes a Blow at Bingo!

The Global recession seems to have left no stone unturned. From Northern Rock to Lehman Brothers and from Dubai to Bingo!

The online bingo world was in turn to take a taste of its mighty punch this week as a few prominent names in the industry have shut their doors to their online members.

Interactive Playnet, which powered games such as Rainbow Bingo, Exotic Bingo, Fun Bingo, Comedy Bingo and a few others, has this week ceased all of its operations leaving not only their players but also licensees and affiliates out in the cold!

To many industry insiders this was widely anticipated, seeing how many of the newcomers to the industry try to attract new members by offering ridiculous amounts of bonuses, huge prizes and spending millions on marketing at a time when bingo players are playing on the tightest of budgets.

Luckily for all existing members of Interactive Playnet however, you do also have the Big names in the industry who are ready and waiting for just such an opportunity to arise, come in and take over.

In Interactive Playnet’s case, Bingo Entertainment Ltd., one of the oldest and most successful names in the online bingo industry, operating since 1999, came to the rescue by merging Interactive Playnet’s accounts into one of their games databases and securing all players funds.

Richard Chambers, CEO of Bingo Entertainment Ltd: “It is sad when you see something like this happen. Being one of the first online bingo operators, I have seen many, and I do mean many, bingo operations come and go during my 11 years in the business. Some have been fraudulent and others as is the case with Interactive Playnet, a simple issue of mismanagement.”

“Our Policy at Bingo Entertainment Ltd has always been slowly but surely. We don’t go over our heads and we always try and maintain all of our departments in-house. This gives us more control of our developments and operations at a much lower cost. It is this approach that has kept us way above our competitors and I am sure will do for many years to come.”

Lets just hope that all such cases have a happy ending as Interactive Playnet’s has!
