Team bingo is a fantastic concept that is very well implemented on bingofabulous.com. We all play bingo on a regular basis, and we have friends that do the same, whether they’re real world friends, or people that we’ve met and befriended in chat rooms.

The idea behind team bingo is to reward people who play bingo regularly. In a sense it’s just another way that bingofabulous.com gives something back to the players who offer at regular support.

How to play

Team bingo is so easy, and the reward so fabulous, but it’s difficult to understand why everyone doesn’t do it. It’s not like it costs you anything, and you can win prizes.

To play team bingo, you need to recruit a team of up to four bingo players, and register them by sending an e-mail with their usernames and the name of your team to teambingo@bingomanager.net.

After that, all you need to do is play some bingo during the month. Every time you or a member of your team wins on a full house, your team is awarded points.

There is a big leaderboard available to view on the bingofabulous.com website where you can see how your team is doing compared to others. At the end of the month, the top three teams are awarded a huge prize of loyalty points to split between them.

Odds and payouts

There is no specific odds applicable to Team Bingo, because it isn’t about how much money you win; rather it’s about how many times you call Bingo.

The first prize is 1 million loyalty points! The second prize is 520,000 loyalty points, and the third prize is 200,000 loyalty points.

Loyalty points can be redeemed for cash to buy bingo cards, at 1,000 loyalty points to £1. So the top prize equates to £1,000 worth of free bingo games, split between your team members.

Imagine how much “free” bingo you could play with that?

Fluffy favourites is an incredible explosion of cute cuddliness in one place. The theme of the game is plush toys, and they’re everywhere.

In operation, this is a fun, light-hearted slot game, and anyone who loves soft toys will surely appreciate the care and effort that’s gone into designing the soft little bundles of joy that come whizzing past on the reels.

The theme seems to be based on one of those crane games that you find outside shopping centres, where you try to win soft toys as prizes. In fact, there’s even a bonus round in this game where you’ll use a crane to pick up soft toys for multiplier bonuses.

Slot specifics

Fluffy Favourites is a five reel slot game that pays out on 25 lines – that’s a huge number of possible winning combinations. Of course, betting on all 25 is not required, and you can adjust how many lines want to play on any given spin using the handy controls found at the bottom of the screen.

The images used on the reels include (in increasing order of value) a yellow ducky, a blue rhinoceros, a giraffe, a purple dragon, a panda bear and a monkey, a tortoise, a lion and a big blue hippopotamus, which is also the top prize.

The big pink elephant is the wild symbol, and doubles the value of any winning combination that it completes. It’s also the scatter symbol – get three pink elephants anywhere on the reels and you trigger some free spins we’re all prize money is tripled.

Get three crane claws anywhere on screen and the bonus game will launch, in which you try to pick up fluffy animals for cash bonus multipliers.

Odds and payouts

The game accepts coin sizes from 1p up to 50p. The top possible winning combination is worth 10,000 coins, or £5,000.

This video slot game is steeped in imagery from Native American culture. I think that it is supposed to represent a spirit journey in a sweat lodge – at least, that was the impression I got when I played this game.

It has a strangely peaceful feeling to it, and I found myself getting sucked in quite easily, and at the same time deeply entertained. I suppose I would recommend it to people looking for something a bit different than the average video slot that they’re used to playing.

If you’d like to try something off the beaten track, you should give Shaman’s Dream a look.

Slot specifics

Shaman’s Dream is a video slot title with five reels and 25 pay lines. The high number of pay lines means that players have the option to increase their chances of winning by playing more than one line simultaneously. Look for the Change Lines at and at the bottom of the screen.

The designers have opted not to break the feel with playing cards, and have instead treated us to a collection of images that include (in increasing order of value) spirit totems, wigwams, a squaw, tomahawks and a hunting bear, a white buffalo and an eagle, and a feather-wearing chieftain.

There is also a White Wolf icon which can substitute for any other symbol to complete lines that need just one more to win. When a White Wolf completes a line, he also doubles the value.

The last symbol is a dream catcher. If three or more dream catchers appear, you will be awarded 15 free spins of the reels.

Odds and payouts

The size of your winnings is directly tied to how much you bet on each line. Possible coin sizes are anywhere between 1p and 50p. Given this, the maximum possible payout on this video slot is £950.

Paradise Reels is a game set around a relaxing holiday on a tropical beach. The designers have gone all out to create an idealistic tropical island feel, complete with the sound of waves in the background and the distant cries of seagulls.

This is a game for kicking back and relaxing with, and it’s loaded with atmosphere. Every time you spend the reels some island music plays on an acoustic guitar, and a steel drum band celebrates your every win.

Slot specifics

Paradise Reels is a five reel video slot game. You can play the centre line, or choose to activate up to 8 additional lines if you want to increase your odds of winning.

The icons on the reels include a shiny golden set of high poker cards as well as cherries, oranges, sliced watermelon and the big blue lucky number 7.

The game supports a wild symbol in the form of a split melon which can substitute for absolutely any other symbol in the game to complete a winning combination.

There is also a coconut which is a bonus symbol. Three or more of these anywhere on screen will pop open a mini bonus game. In the mini game there are eight coconuts each hiding a cash bonus amount. Reveal three matching amounts and it’s yours to keep – you can win up to £1,000 this way.

Odds and payouts

You can click the pay table button to see the value of all of the winning combinations. Bear in mind that the winning values are multipliers – so what ever you wager on a line will be multiplied by this amount. The minimum bet is just 1p, and the maximum is £10. This being the case, the top possible payout in Paradise Reels is £50,000.

Sands of fortune is an incredibly entertaining video slot title that draws heavily from the Indiana Jones series of films for its visual style. If you fancy yourself an intrepid treasure hunter, you should definitely give this game a try.

Special mention has to be given to the sound crew on this game. Not only the sound effects nuanced and well selected, but there is a full orchestral score to this game – completely unprecedented in this market. In feel, it will of course remind you of the Indiana Jones theme, while remaining completely original. I found that it really added to my playing experience.

Definitely give this one a go, because the bonus game is spectacular.

Slot specifics

At its core, this is a five reel slot that pays out on nine different lines. You don’t have to play all nine lines at once, you can activate as many as you like using the controls at the bottom of the screen.

The icons used on the reels include the standards set of high poker cards, but drawn in a stylistically appropriate font. For the rest, we have scorpions, scarab beetles, pyramids and the Eye of Ra. These become animated whenever they show up in a winning line.

The game features a Wild symbol that you can use to complete a winning combinations. But the symbol that are really looking out for is the Bonus symbol.

Three or more Bonus symbols trigger a special bonus game in which you explore the scary underground tomb. You have to make choices about which corridor to go down next, with no clue as to what could be waiting at the end of it.

It could be treasure, in the form of a cash bonus or an overall multiplier to be applied at the end of the bonus game. It is one of these, your exploration will continue, and you’ll have to choose another corridor, but beware because there are also traps that will kick you back to the main game.

Odds and payouts

Winning combinations have multipliers attached to them then applied to whatever you wagered at the beginning of the round. The top possible jackpot on this game is £50,000.

I decided to check out the 90 Ball Bingo games on Bingo Fabulous, and I am so glad that I did. To be honest, I spent most of my time in the 90 Ball rooms not just because of how fabulous the room mates were, but because there are three chances to win in a 90 Ball game.

Also, I got caught up in the rampant excitement going on in the chat room. There are some really lovely people in there, men and women, across a broad spectrum of age ranges, but the unusual thing about this chat room as opposed to some that I’ve been in is that everyone is incredibly friendly, no one hand an “attitude” at all.

They were all cheering each other on and having a great time. One thing is sure – I’ll be back to visit them again soon.

How to play

90 Ball Bingo is a bit different than 75 Ball Bingo. The card has three lines, each with five numbers on and four blank spaces.

Click into the 90 Ball Bingo room of your choice, and you’ll be presented with a selection of cards available for the next game. Simply click the ones you think look likely, and click the Buy button – now you’re all set to play.

The game begins, and you’ll hear the caller’s voice coming out of your computer’s speakers. There are three prizes available each game: first player with one full line, first with two lines, and first with a Full House.

The bingo software used at bingofabulous.com automatically daubs your numbers as they’re called out, and will also automatically call Bingo if you win something, so you don’t need to worry about missing out in this fantastic game.

Odds and payouts

The payouts for each individual 90 Ball game tend to vary based on how many people have bought tickets. In most of the 5p and 10p games that I played, prize money was about £6 for a single line, £12 for a double line, and around £26 for a full house.

However, there are regular scheduled games with guaranteed prize money in the hundreds, sometimes thousands, of pounds.

Historically, bingo is considered to be a social game played by old ladies, but I am delighted to report that with the advent of online bingo, this is no longer the case. At least, it’s no longer exclusively the domain of old ladies – the average demographic is in fact much lower.

When I decided to play a couple of cards of 75 Ball Bingo at Bingo Fabulous, I was actually blown away by the welcoming, friendly attitude of the other players on the site. The transition to an online form has robbed the game of none of it’s social appeal, and the large chat window displayed next to my cards was constantly buzzing with conversation, encouragement, and commiseration.

In short, I had a fantastic time.

How to play

Playing 75 Ball Bingo could not be easier. Simply select a room you want to play in and click into it. You’ll be presented with a bunch of cards available to buy for the next game, and a chat window on the right where current players are nattering.

Click on the cards you want to buy to highlight them, and click the Buy button. After that, you sit back and watch the game take place.

The game will auto-daub your cards for you, and also auto-call Bingo if you win, which allows you to focus your attention on the conversation in the chat room. This tends to be thick with excitement during a game, with everyone cheering each other on.

In 75 Ball Bingo, you win if your entire card is covered before anyone else’s. Expect hearty and friendly congratulations from your room mates if you’re the winner.

Odds and payouts

In most games, the total prize money is dependent on how many people buy cards for the game, and how much those cards cost. The average tends to be between £20 and £50 on a low-cost ticket.

However, bingofabulous.com also hosts several regular special 75 ball games with guaranteed prizes of £500 or more. There is even a huge linked game where you could win £1 million for a buy in of only £1.
