Introducing Bingo Software

Since the 16th Century bingo has been a widely enjoyed number matching game. In the UK it has by tradition been seen as a past-time for senior citizens and those on sea-side holidays, but land based bingo has seen a dramatic popularity over recent years and is now enjoyed by millions of people right across the globe. The growth has been credited to the relaxation of government gambling directives.

This enabled land based bingo halls to install more bingo machines which offered greater prizes.

Online bingo however, is a comparatively recent phenomenon which has taken the world of virtual entertainment by storm. Despite the fact that much of today’s award-winning online bingo software had already taken form by 2002. It took approximately a further 4 years for the world of online bingo to become the global phenomenon that it is today.  Today’s highly developed online bingo technology incorporates Random Number Generators (known as RNGs’) and advanced demographics. The progress of the online bingo industry is synonymous with its ever increasingly sophisticated software.

Canadian grown company Parlay Entertainment Inc developed the worlds’ first online gambling software programme. Even in its initial phases the software incorporated 75 and 90 number bingo editions, and various other casino and lottery games. Parlays’ software now operates on many of the most acclaimed online bingo sites on the planet. Parlays latest achievement is its combined project with Microsoft; together they have introduced MSN Bingo through the bingos.co.uk platform.

The esteemed position now held by Parlay in the online gaming software industry is verified by their impressive client portfolio which includes industry leader St Miniver, whose online bingo sites include both Littlewoods and Virgin Bingo. St Miniver acquired online bingo goliath ‘Gala Interactive’ in 2003 and has gone from strength to strength in its success in the UK and European markets, and also enjoys considerable success within the bingo markets of Japan & USA.
