Bringo Bingo Review
July 2017 breathed a bit of life into the new bingo site arena! Joining new launches Real Deal and Queen Bee this month was another new brand from Ignite/Mandalay Media. Called Bringo Bingo, it positioned itself on their own mini-network, headed up by Costa, and powered by Dragonfish. This game show inspired brand calls itself "The Brightest Bingo Show On The Internet". We put the spotlight on Bringo to see if it really is a bright spot for bingo and slots. Are you ready to come on down to play bingo and slots?
Introducing Bringo Bingo
Bringo Bingo launched as a game-show themed brand. A silhouetted audience and stage are the backdrop for the site. We love the "applause" and "laughter" signs either side of the stage. Sadly a cheesey smiley host - who bizarrely reminded us of Derek Batey who used to do Mr & Mrs - has been dismissed. In truth we don't quite get how Bringo relates to a game show. If you Google the word 'bringo' then the top definition according to The Urban Dictionary is "when an individual unleashes all his rage and anger on another individual or group of individuals". That sounds more like Angry Bingo. The site has had a redesign in recent years which has given it a more generic look. This is perfect for mobile, tablet and desktop players but doesn't make the brand stand out from the crowd.
Bringo Bingo Welcome Offer
New players to Bringo Bingo are welcomed with an offer that includes a bingo bonus and free spins. Previously players were awarded free bingo tickets and no wagering terms on first depsoit but this has now gone. Instead new players can register, login and make a deposit of £10 in order to receive a 300% welcome bonus plus 30 free spins on the popular slot, Fruit Blast. Any wins from these spins are paid out in real cash and therefore have no wagering requirements but wins are capped at a total of £3 (10p per spin). Wagering terms however do apply to the bingo bonus and this is x4 the amount of deposit plus the bonus.
The Bingo Academy
Bringo Bingo gives you the chance to try it's games for free with a no deposit required offer. To give the games a try all you need to be is be registered with the site then login to the lobby to access The Bingo Academy. This can be found under the 'free' tab. All newbies get two days access without having to fund their account. Every 20 minutes (7am to 10pm daily) you can play a 75 ball game that has a full house prize of £1, £2 or £5. Be aware that prizes may be paid as a bonus and therefore wagering terms will apply. A further five days in The Academy are awarded after you make your first deposit.
Bringo Bingo Rooms
As well as free bingo, Bringo Bingo offers four variants on the popular numbers game. These include 75 ball, 5 Line 75 ball, 90 ball and 52-5 ball. The latter is All The 5s and involves playing cards instead of traditional bingo balls. A number of progressive jackpots are available when you play in the rooms. Most days you'll find a jackpot game at Bringo including the £1.5K Tuesday Chill and the £50 Daily Deal. There's also a Mystery Jackpot Room and a £1000 prize to be won every Thursday. Ticket prices vary from 1p to 5p but some of the jackpot games can be a little bit more expensive.
Featured Slots
All the top slots are available to play at Bringo Bingo. These are categorised by Popular Picks, Top Games, Megaways, Daily Jackpots, Drop & Wins and New. Suprisingly there isn't a tab for Slingo but there are plenty of versions of the popular slots meets bingo game to play. The slots area in the Dragonfish lobby isn't the easiest to navigate and feels very clunky. The good thing is you can favourite games to make them easier to find. Top slots include Cleopatra, Rainbow Riches, Gonzo's Quest, Monopoly, Slingo and Starburst. Although there's a tab highlight casino games this actually only includes a version of Keno and the live Dream Catcher game.
Player Promotions
As one of the later additions to the Ignite stable Bringo Bingo didn't exactly bringo forward anything new or exclusive for players. And that's still the case today. It does have share some exciting promotions and jackpots with it's sister brands (e.g. Costa, Sing, Angry etc) and a few with The Dragonfish Network. For example there are free bingo games such as a daily £10 bonus room for funded players, Freengo also for funded players and a £1000 free Monday jackpot. The Friday £7K is another big promotion that's well worth checking out. This consists of 7 x £1000 jackpots that play every hour from 5pm to 11pm. Tickets are only 1p each too. Look out too for the Bingo Shop which lets you pick up rewards for playing at the site.
Our Verdict
Everything at Bringo is pretty much the same as what you'll find at other Ignite bingo brands such as Wish, Treasure, Monkey, Costa, Sing, City and Fancy. Back in 2017 we lamented that "there are no exclusives" and unfortunately that is still the case and likely to always be the case. There's no way Bringo can differentiate itself from it's sister sites. There are plenty of reasons to check it out including the various free rooms and The £7K Friday games. In many respects Bringo Bingo was a bit before it's time. Live Game Shows like Deal Or No Deal and Monopoly Live are now very popular and perfect for Bringo! However it only has The Dream Catcher on it's roster which is a shame. Hopefully that can be rectified in the near future.
