Dragonfish Rooms Open At Butlers Bingo

Published On 22nd January 2025

Back in December 2021 Broadway Gaming purchased the Dragonfish Network from 888. Up until then Broadway Gaming were more well known for running several bingo and casino brands including Butlers Bingo and Casino Of Dreams. Their bingo sites initially were powered by Microgaming but in 2020 that was switched to Pragmatic Play. However we've often speculated if/when Broadway Gaming would combine their platform purchase with their already established bingo brands. After all it's something we've seen with Entain who picked up the then Cozy Games platform and developed it so that it eventually became the new home for Gala, Foxy, Ladbrokes and Coral. Anyway we think the time for speculation may well be at an end as Butlers Bingo is adding Dragonfish bingo rooms to their roster. Now we can speculate as to what's happening!

New Bingo Rooms

If you visit the promotions page of Butlers Bingo, or Gossip Bingo, Roxy Bingo and Bingo Diamond, then you'll see that two new bingo rooms are being added to the roster. These rooms are Top Of The Shop and Mystery Jackpot. The promos excitingly point out that these brand new rooms are open! However these are not Pragmatic Play rooms. They are in fact powered by Dragonfish and are the same rooms that you'll find on Wink Bingo, 888 Ladies, Costa Bingo and others. Top Of The Shop is a 90 ball room that's open all the time whilst Mystery Jackpots is a 75 ball room that's open 9am to 11pm daily. Now ideally we'd be able to login to Butlers Bingo and confirm the addition of these rooms and check if any others are part of the roster. Frustratingly though limited account access rules across the network mean that we can't create an account and check it out. So instead we asked a helpful live chat support person who confirmed that yes Butlers does now have bingo rooms powered by other platforms other than Pragmatic Play.

Transition Or Addition?

So are Butlers Bingo adding these new Dragonfish rooms as a way to transit the Pragmatic Play rooms aside or are they going to be run alongside them thereby offering players the best of both worlds? The former is probably the most likely because Broadway Gaming own the software and any revenue they make from it doesn't have to be shared with Pragmatic Play. Bringing rooms on stream slowly gives them a chance to make sure things tick along and perhaps don't shock players along the lines that Gala and Foxy did when they moved to their current homes. Players aren't fans of change and it can often take a while to steady the ship. But going for the one platform phases in as another phases out then the transition is steady and kind of seamless. When it comes to Pragmatic Play's offering there's not much to miss if you replace the main rooms like for like. Things like Animingo, Bingo Blast and Diamond Dazzle may be harder to compensate for but they don't attract too many players as is.

Together Forever

Of course it's feasible that Butlers Bingo could offer players access to both Pragmatic Play bingo rooms and their own Dragonfish rooms. They would be the first group of sites to do this and in some ways it makes a lot of sense. Every slots site has games from different operators so why do bingo sites only offer games from one platform? The attraction of one room might boost interest in another and vice versa. In addition players don't have to have a favourite Dragonfish brand and a favourite Pragmatic Play one - they can just select the one site to visit! The downside to that is what happens when you discover that actually players prefer the other bingo platform to the one you've spent millions of pounds on purchasing and developing. Whilst the 'Together Forever' approach sounds idealistic we do think that we will eventually see a full transtition to Dragonfish for Butlers Bingo. Then life could become interesting as Broadway Gaming/Dragonfish would need to offer promotions and games to attract bingo players and keep them interested.
