Bingo Geeks

Online bingo provides a lot of benefits over playing at the local bingo hall. The first and most obvious advantage of playing online is having the ability to play bingo whenever and where ever you can take you computer.

One other great thing about online bingo is that most sites will have other of your favourite games.

Here are some of the variety of casino games that you can play at bingo sites:

• Scratch Cards
• Fruit Machines
• Video Slots
• Progressive Jackpot Slots
• Table Games

Having many different ways to have fun with the money you’ve put into your account is always a good thing. It’s better than being very limited with what you can do. You may never want to play any other game, as I realize that most people join a online bingo room to play 75 ball bingo or 90 ball bingo, but it’s nice to know the option is out there.

Brief Description of the Other Games

Many of these you may already know, but here is a description of the other games you can play at many bingo sites.

Scratch Cards – These work the same as the scratch card you would get at a local store, only it’s a virtual card that you have to use your mouse to “scratch off” and reveal the prize. Matching the prizes in whichever way is shown will win you money. The value is determined by what you matched on the scratch card.

Fruit Machines – Fruit Machines are a lot like slots, most are either based off of the old Liberty Bell slots or have all fruit symbols. But the big difference with fruit machines is that you have the ability to move one of the three reels up or down one spot to try to complete a payline.

Video Slots – These are mostly five reel cousins of the original three reel games. As the name implies, the icons on the reels look more like a video and these symbols will often animate when a payline is won. Unlike three reel slots, you aren’t required to match icons across all five reels to win. Usually three across will win you a prize and larger prizes are won when you match 4 or 5 across.

Progressive Slots Jackpots – You probably already know what Bingo Jackpots are and how they are won. Progressive slots are very similar. The jackpot continues to rise the more the game is played and it is only won when someone matches all 5 jackpot icons.

Table Games – These are most of the games that you would see at a typical casino. This includes Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat and Caribbean Stud poker as well as many others.
