Bingo Millions is a game by Mutuel Play that was first introduced at Buzz Bingo in April 2019. First out of the traps was a 90 ball version playing twice a week and this was followed by an instant win 90 version, two 80 ball versions and two 75 ball versions. Some of these are also available at Jumpman bingo sites and we expect the game to appear at more new bingo sites in 2020.
The most obviously notable thing about Bingo Millions is the ENORMOUS progressive jackpot – seeded at £1.5 million – which is attached to all three of the twice weekly versions of the game. The instant win versions of the game have a fixed jackpot of £1 million. There’s also a Mega version of the game that runs every few months with a jackpot of £10 million. Apart from a small progressive contribution in the twice weekly games, the jackpots are funded by an insurance policy rather than by ticket sales.
A percentage of the game profits (5% as of October 2020) are given to partner charities and past beneficiaries include the Alzheimer’s Society.
Bingo Millions plays just like a regular bingo game but with one HUGE difference – the game pays out a series of fixed prizes for completing lines (90 ball), columns (80 ball) or full house in a set number of calls regardless of whether another player has already done it.
Even in a game in which someone actually won the jackpot with full house in less than 30 calls, the game would continue to play all the way to 70 calls and everyone else who completed full house in between would win the requisite prize. They don’t split it between them either; apart from the jackpot, which would be spilt in the ridiculously unlikely event of two players winning full house in 30 or fewer calls in the same game, everyone who completes an objective wins the full amount from the paytable.
In all variants of Bingo Millions apart from Turbo, tickets can be purchased one at a time or in strips of 5 or 6 depending on which game it is, at a discounted price. This means that each game has two RTPs – one for strips and one for single ticket purchases. There’s a maximum purchase of 10 strips (50 or 60 tickets depending on the game). Because the jackpot is covered by insurance, the jackpot is not included in the RTP calculation.
Once you have purchased your tickets all you have to do is wait for the game to start (which could be up to a week in the case of the weekly draws). Well actually, all you have to do is come back after the game has played to see what (if anything) you have won, as the game is auto-daub – but where’s the fun in that?
During the game, the part of the paytable you’re currently playing for is displayed. You start with the paytable for 1 line and it changes to the paytable for two lines when you’ve completed one line or when the number of calls reaches the point (36 in the 90 ball games) where it’s no longer possible to win a prize for completing one line.
In the unlikely event that no-one wins full house in the maximum number of calls on the paytable, the game continues until someone does; there’s a very small fixed prize for this (£1 in the weekly draws and 10p in the instants) which is split between everyone who completes full house on that call, with a guaranteed minimum of 1p per player.
Although Bingo Millions looks and plays very like bingo, under the hood there is something completely different going on.
In a regular bingo game, the number of players in the room is really important. The more players there are, the bigger the prizes and the smaller the chance each player has of winning. In Bingo Millions, on the other hand, the number of players has zero effect on the size of the prizes and does not affect other players’ chances of winning a prize. The game can play, and your chances are just the same, whether there are a thousand other players or none.
Basically, when you play Bingo Millions there is no shared liquidity. You are playing against the house rather than against other players and this means that it is not really a bingo game at all in the normal sense of the word – which is why the games are referred to as “draws” rather than “games” when you go to buy tickets.
There is certainly a place in the bingo world for this type of game as it enables frequent games offering a very small chance of winning a huge prize to be run without any need to build the liquidity up first.
Speaking of a very small chance – what are the chances of actually winning the £1.5 million? Not great, to say the least! -We have the exact figure for the 90 ball games (courtesy of Wizard of Odds) of 1 in 295 million per ticket, and we believe it to be similar in the 75 and 80 ball games. Although this is much better than in any of the million pound sliding jackpot games of the past, it is nowhere near as good as, for example:
Even though it could be a long time before someone wins the jackpot, there are plenty of other prizes on offer making for lots of entertainment value. Bingo Millions seems set to be a success and we look forward to seeing it at more bingo sites in the future.

The RTP of Bingo Millions games varies widely (see table below) but on the whole it is quite low, comparing extremely badly to slot games (where most RTPs are 90% or more). It doesn’t look great next to regular bingo games either; most bingo games don’t have a quoted RTP but many bingo games at Tombola guarantee to pay out 80% or more and at bingo.com all bingo games pay at least 70%.
| 90 & Mega | 90 Instant | 80 | 80 Instant | 75 | 75 Instant | Turbo | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strip | 50.44% | 55.20% | 50.16% | 55.11% | 50.10% | 55.05% | N/A |
| Ticket | 42.03% | 46.00% | 40.13% | 44.09% | 41.75% | 45.87% | 75.21% |
It’s also disappointing to find that the version with by far the best RTP, Bingo Millions Turbo, is also the one with the least entertainment value (the game is played at breakneck speed and is over in seconds).
These prize tables are all correct as of October 2020 but please check before playing as several changes have been made since the game originally launched and further adjustments could be made at any time.
