Bingo Mania

Bingo Mania has been serving the online bingo community for over a decade, first offering free games and then including play for cash games as the internet became more popular and the demand for real-money online bingo increased. The name of the game here is fun, and every aspect of the site is geared towards entertaining the bingo player, from the bingo offerings themselves right through to the usually boring but always necessary “About Us” pages.

Bingo Mania describes itself as an “instant play” site because there is no software to download. All you have to do to get started is provide a username, password and some basic personal information (name, address, etc.) and you’re ready to choose your game.

You can play both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo here at Bingo Mania, as well as chat bingo games and mini games such as slot machines, video poker and even lotteries. Bingo cards cost pennies, with tickets for 75 ball bingo starting at 25p each and tickets for 90 ball bingo starting at an even lower 10p. With progressive bingo jackpots on offer as well as regular prizes, we think you’ll agree that this is great value for money.

The main bingo screens are nicely designed and easy to navigate, with your cards taking up more of the view and game information on the left, along with the chat room window. Chat is friendly and supportive, so if you get involved by chatting (as opposed to just reading what others are saying) you’ll have a lot of fun. As we said earlier, Bingo Mania offer chat room games in addition to the regular bingo games, so getting used to chat is important if you want to participate in these.

The bingo callers are bright and cheery, but numbers are displayed visually on screen as they are drawn, which is good for reference. The options menu allows you to have your cards auto-daubed, sort your cards into order automatically and adjust the screen to suit the graphics cards of your PC.

In summary, we think Bingo Mania is a good site. It’s a little quiet at times, and we would have preferred more bingo rooms to choose from, but as it stands it offers a fun way to while away the time and maybe even win a bit of cash at the same time.
