Gala Bingo

Gala have a reputation for looking after their customers and are considered to have one of the best VIP schemes out there. They also offer a wide variety of slot games – more than 250 – from Playtech and a few other providers.

In addition to all the Virtue Fusion network promotions, Gala regularly run their own promotions and some of these have been in aid of charities.  Gala’s mobile service is highly regarded (it won Best Mobile Bingo Experience at the 2015 Whichbingo Awards which are voted on by players) and comes with Apple and Android apps to make login hassle free.  On desktop, players can choose at login between the super fast new HTML5 interface and lobby and the classic Flash one. Choose the new lobby to get access to the Emmerdale bingo room, Big Banker Bingo and other specials on the desktop and to have the option, in selected bingo rooms, of placing a side bet (stakes from £1) on the number of the ball on which bingo will be called (odd/even, colour, pairs and high/low are the available bets).  If you want to play Cash Cubes or Bouncy Balls Bingo, however, you’ll be out of luck as these rooms are no longer available at Gala.

One thing that Gala are really good at is thinking up promotions which offer prizes that money can’t buy – from tickets to the Gala VIP Christmas party to a guest appearance on Emmerdale for the winner’s pet.

Gala also have some amazing regular promotions and at the time of writing (July 2018) these include:

• The Happy Wheel – every day, players can play £10 cash on any game to collect a free spin on the Happy Wheel for a guaranteed win of 5 – 25 slot spins.
• The Chase Daily Quiz – every day, players can play £10 cash on bingo to play the quiz; everyone who beats the Chaser shares £1000 cash the next day.
• Happymakers Bingo – 10 everyone-wins bingo games from 9.30pm every day, with £5000 in prizes altogether including a £350 cash share in each game for non winners. Tickets are priced at 5p or 10p and to gain entry to the room, spend just 1p at Gala in the preceding 7 days.

The only snag is that Gala Bingo is extremely popular and even their exclusive bingo rooms can be very busy, especially at peak times.   This has the effect of pushing up the value of the prizes while pushing down the chance any individual player has of winning – so you may win less often at Gala than at a less busy site, but when you do it could be a substantial amount.

Gala Bingo offers a large number of non network bingo rooms, including some which are exclusive to Gala and other rooms which are shared with Coral Bingo and Ladbrokes Bingo, such as Coconut Island Bingo and Coronation Street Bingo.
