Linked Bingo Games

Linked bingo games are games which are played in several different rooms/clubs at the same time, so the numbers – and the prizes that are being played for – are exactly the same in all participating halls regardless of where you are visiting or brand you are playing at. Large offline bingo chains often play linked bingo games, with state-wide games in the USA and nationwide games in the UK being fairly commonplace.

Linked bingo games are also played at online bingo sites where multiple rooms are available, and in some cases – where the online bingo site is operated by an offline bingo chain (for example, Gala Bingo) – there are linked bingo games that take place in both online and offline rooms simultaneously.

Participating in linked bingo games, like anything else in life, has both advantages and disadvantages, and whether you focus on the pros or the cons will depend on your point of view and the kind of player that you are.

The biggest advantage of linked bingo games is that, because they involve more people, more bingo tickets are sold and the resulting prize pools are much bigger than they tend to be in non-linked games.

The biggest disadvantage of linked bingo games is simply that more players means more competition, so your chances of winning a linked bingo game are obviously smaller than they would be in a non-linked game with fewer players.

The advantages of linked bingo games usually outweigh the disadvantages for most players because the decreased chance of winning is compensated for by the larger cash prizes that are available.

Playing in linked bingo games is every bit as straightforward as playing regular non-linked games – just buy as many tickets as you want and play the game as you normally world. The main difference is that the game will be more exciting because of the bigger sums of prize money that are up for grabs.

If you are the kind of bingo player who doesn’t mind having a little more competition if it also means having an opportunity to win larger cash prize, be sure to look out for Bingo Linx games at your favourite brands and good luck!
