Bingo Review

Miss Bingo

Once upon a time the home page of Miss Bingo was pink and pretty and aimed itself shamelessly at the female of the species. We don't know what happened to change all of that, but the home page is now about as ugly as you can get. A ridiculously thin banner at the head of the page shows an image of what we presume to be ladies necks and chins, but with an image so narrow we just ask ourselves, "Why?" The rest of the page contains details of past winners, some information on the latest promotion for new players and testimonials from various delighted members. We knew that Miss Bingo used to be a decent site, but really our first impressions for this review weren’t at all positive. In fact one member of our team commented that the design of the home page made Turner Prize winners look like pieces of art, and that just about says it all.

Hoping that the cake under the burnt crust was still going to be edible, we proceeded to download the software and enter our personal information (name, address, e-mail, etc.) to open an account. Sadly, new players aren't able to preview the game before downloading the software, which is even more reason why Miss Bingo should rectify the home page disaster promptly.

The good news is that, despite the initial design nightmare and lack of previews, the Miss Bingo experience itself is actually very good. Miss Bingo offers pattern bingo games, where the aim is to make a specific pattern on a grid of numbers five wide by five deep. The patterns here are interesting and varied, with sharks and spiders sitting among the more traditional numbers and rudimentary shapes. Occasional speed games also help to keep things interesting for regular players. The gaming environment is - in stark contrast to the home page - very well designed and provides all the information you need in a way that's very easy on the eye.

You need to play a minimum of three cards for games at Miss Bingo, but with costs starting from just $0.10 you won't have to break open any piggy banks to participate. Progressive jackpots are offered alongside the normal prizes, so if you happen to win before a specified number of balls have been called, you could win a surprising amount - we're talking thousands in some cases.

The chat here is enjoyable and friendly, but because it takes place in a separate window you do need to position things in such a way that conversing doesn't interfere with your view of the main game. Once they have started, players tend to come here regularly, so if you like the idea of chatting with a familiar bunch of people and making some fairly good friends, this is the place to be.

In summary, Miss Bingo is actually a very good site which is let down only by a naff home page and a potentially fiddly chat box. Put those two points aside and you'll definitely enjoy everything else that Miss Bingo has to offer.
