Bingo has traditionally been a local game that people would play in the bingo hall closest to their home or at a friend’s house. The introduction of online bingo has helped change how we play but in what ways has it added a travel element to the game at the same time?
Themed Bingo Games and Rooms
Bingo is still essentially the same game that’s been played around the planet for about a century, as players still need to try and complete winning lines and aim for a full house of numbers before anyone else does it. Yet, once it moved online the opportunity arose for sites to add a variety of ways of playing in one place. This can be seen in the way that 75-ball and 90-ball games are now widely available, together with some other versions.
When you check out a bingo site, you’ll see themed versions too, with visual and audio elements added to the basic gameplay. Titles such as Deal or No Deal Bingo, Footy Bingo, and Gold Room show some of the ways that variety has been added to online bingo. Clover Rollover Bingo gives one of the best examples of how different locations can be added, as it’s based on a popular series of slots set in the rolling green field of Ireland.
Location-Based Slingo Games
Singo is a fast-moving type of game that’s been added to many online bingo sites. While it’s best viewed as a cross between bingo and slots, anyone who has played bingo before won’t take long to work out how to play it. A slot-type mechanism sees numbers selected randomly on each spin, with any numbers that match those on your grid getting marked as completed. The overall aim is to complete as many winning lines, known as slingos, as possible.
The range of Slingo titles is growing, with some of the latest releases taking players to exotic locations as they play. China Shores Slingo has an Asian setting with bamboo as a backdrop and various other images from Chinese culture that add to the theme. Slingo Wolf Snowstorm is set in an icy wasteland while fishing, horse racing, and outer space are among the other themes that show how versatile this type of game can be.
Access to Other Themed Games on Bingo Sites
Bingo sites have grown massively in popularity since they first went online at the turn of the century, leading to players looking for new ways to play. While the previous points reveal some ways that bingo has changed in recent years, another element has seen the introduction of additional themed games like slots and live dealer games. These provide a way for bingo fans to take a break from their favorite game and try something different while being transported to the jungle, the beach, and many other places.
These changes have helped establish bingo’s position as a top online game without causing it to lose any of the appeal that made it so popular in the first.
