Bingo Aliens Review
New bingo sites are few and far between these days! In fact you argue that we're more than likely to be visited by little green men from Mars than get an exciting new bingo brand to extoll about. Unfortunately most new additions, when they are beamed down for us bingo players, tend to be sequels of bingo brands that we've seen time and time again. Will we ever see something unique again? That may well be a case for Mulder and Scully but in the mean time hold on to your stomach because Jumpman Gaming have unleashed Bingo Aliens onto the world. Yes you did indeed read that right! Bingo Aliens! It's a strange choice of name but it is new and it does offer players access to thge delights of Pragmatic Play bingo rooms such as Bingo Blast, Diamond Dazzle and the recently launch Animingo. But is a close encounter with this brand give you a bingo experience that's truly out of this world?
Introducing Bingo Aliens
It's safe to say we're not taken with the brand name, but it at least paves the way for whole new genre of bingo sites. Bingo Dinosaurs, Bingo Dogs, Bingo Cats, Bingo Ghosts, the options are endless. The site itself is standard Jumpman Gaming fare with a big welcome bonus, a smattering of graphics and a whole bunch of the latest slots. The alien and UFO imagery is actually quite fun although they do show people being abducted by our new alien overlords. The logo is quite basic but we do like the bingo ball inside a UFO that sits to the left of the name. But what the heck have aliens got to do with bingo and how does bingo fit in with this site? What is the point of having a site that has the word 'bingo' in the title that doesn't show how and where to play the game? We know you can find it hidden under "All Games' then scroll along a bit, but would a visitor from outer space? We've mentioned this so many times now that it's tedious. Sort it out Jumpman!
Bingo Aliens Welcome Offer
If you fancy becoming a captor of the Bingo Aliens then they're offering new players a matched deposit bonus. Register, login and deposit a minimum of £10 to spin the bonus wheel for the chance to win up to 500 spins on Fluffy Favourites. Wagering terms of £10 min fund, 65x bonus wagering requirements, max bonus conversion to real funds equal to lifetime deposits (up to £250) apply. If you're hoping for anything bingo related, such as free games or bonuses then you're going to be disappointed. Likewise if you're expecting the welcome offer to include something alien related. The management of the site could so easily have made the spins available for Fluffy in Space? Ok it's still not aliens but at least it shows that there is some actual thought behind developing these sites. Anyway as the welcome offer is a spin the wheel bonus it is possible to actually not win.
Bingo Aliens Bingo Rooms
The Bingo Aliens bingo rooms are powered by Pragmatic Play. At time of writing there are eight different rooms comprising of 30, 50, 75, 80 and 90 ball games. The main rooms are Country Road, The Jackpot Room, Zoom Room and Boombox. They're joined by Bingo Blast, Pragmatic Play's ultra fast and straight to the action 90 ball game, Animingo, a new 50 ball game and Diamond Dazzle, a Deal or No Deal inspired game. Typically you can expect to play from 5p or 10p per ticket. Pre-buy is available for all rooms but note that none have chat facilities. Furthermore Jumpman no longer seem to have their own exclusive game or rooms. That means that all of the rooms are shared by other Pragmatic Play powered brands such as Bet365, Butlers Bingo, PlayOJO and Heart.
Featured Slots
Fairing slightly better is the slots at Bingo Aliens. There are plenty of them to enjoy! Amongst the 300 or so games that are available you'll find the likes of Rainbow Riches, Starburst and Fluffy Favourites. These are joined by a bundle of jackpot games, Slingo titles and Megaways. Most of the slots are available to play on mobile and desktop. Note no app is needed to play at the site on your mobile device. The slots are categorised by name, newness and popularity but you'll need to use the search if you want to seek out specific names. We would like to see Jumpman improve the quality of categories. For example under 'Casino' you'll find slots whilst under 'Table Games' there's a bunch of live blackjack and roulette options. Game Shows have recently been added to the platform which is great, but they could be better signposted. Interestingly there are no slot titles that feature the word 'Alien' but plenty relating to space including Space Invaders, Space Force and Pigeons From Space.
Our Verdict
Hooray for a new bingo brand and that's as exciting as we're going to get. From hereon it's just pure frustration. The brand name is just an odd choice but if you choose to run with it then run with it. Feature something space and alien like in the welcome offer, have some corny lines in the text welcoming people - although "get away from her, you bitch" might be a bit too much - but do something interesting rather than do nothing. Unforutnately Bingo Aliens looks and feels like an exercise in picking a random brand name out the hat and regurgitate the same old site - rinse and repeat. Perhaps instead of adding more sites to their stable, Jumpman could actually spend some time making it easier for aliens to find the bingo games. Whilst they're at it maybe consider dropping the absurdly high x65 wagering terms, think about adding some kind of bingo welcome offer and drop the fees for withdrawal. It might not create an out of this world bingo experience but it'd make it more Wrath Of Khan versus The Final Frontier.
