Ladbrokes Bingo

About Ladbrokes Bingo

The origins of Ladbrokes can be traced back to horse racing in 1886, although the Ladbrokes name was first used in 1902. After years as a bookmaker to the upper classes, the first Ladbrokes shops opened following the legalisation of such establishments in 1961. Hotels and casinos soon followed along with the purchase of Vernons Football Pools in the late 1980s. After a slew of acquisitions, mergers and disposals, Ladbrokes eventually merged with Gala Coral in 2016, creating Britain’s biggest bookmaker. A couple of years later, Ladbrokes Coral was bought by GVC Holdings which has since rebranded as Entain plc. So as well as having a 100+ year history in the British gambling industry, Ladbrokes is part of a behemoth betting and gaming business with a massive player base both on and offline.

Because of Ladbrokes’ relationship with Playtech, their players can use a single account and wallet for all of their online, mobile and retail products.

Up until 2020 Ladbrokes Bingo was a Virtue Fusion bingo site (and an increasingly neglected looking one) but in May of that year it moved on to Entain’s own bingo platform (an improved and enhance version of the Cozy Gaming bingo software which they had bought three years previously). Today, the Entain bingo network is one of the busiest and best in the UK market.

Bingo Games

If you like 90 ball bingo, you’ll love it at Ladbrokes Bingo. There’s regular networked 90 ball rooms, a Ladbrokes exclusive room, Coronation Street, The Chase, Emmerdale, Deal Or No Deal 90, a penny bingo room that sometimes runs free games, and Friday Frenzy which runs weekly big money games.

75 ball bingo is well served also, with Deal Or No Deal 75 and the Entain exclusive Slingo Bingo as well as a couple of regular 75 ball rooms.

And then there’s 30 ball, 80 ball and the Entain exclusives Bingo Beats and Fishin’ Frenzy which are single ticket multi stake 50 ball bingo games designed to work well on a mobile phone screen.

Pre-buy is available for all games (up to a week in advance, sometimes more) and you can buy discounted ticket packages for some special events.  There’s also a range of bingo promotions.

Other Games

If your interests go beyond bingo you’ll be delighted to hear that there are at least 3500 other games available to play on the Ladbrokes website.

Let’s look at the slots first. Like other Entain brands, Ladbrokes has a massive and splendid selection of these including a large number of Entain exclusives. The jackpots alone include Jackpot King, Age of the Gods, Red Tiger Daily Jackpots, IGT MegaJackpots, Sporting Legends, Gladiator, Eyecon Mega Jackpots, Jackpot Giant and two Entain exclusives, one of which adds progressive jackpots to Pragmatic Play favourites like Gates of Olympus and Big Bass Bonanza and the other of which is exclusive to Entain sites and includes games like Melon Madness Megaways and Loot En Khamun.

There are many other Entain exclusive slot games to discover including Big Banker, Rainbow Lobster Pots and Lock O’The Irish; you can find these and other Entain specials in the Exclusives lobby area. Another nice touch is the Top £0.10 lobby area which presents a selection of popular games that can be played for 10p a spin. If you fancy a change from slot games there’s the Slingo and Scratch lobby area where you can find Lucky Tap, Slingo and scratchcard games.

Another type of game that is very big at Ladbrokes is live casino game shows. The Ladbrokes website has a beautifully done game show portal page which is basically a 3D map of a theme park with several of the game shows presented as rides. Visit the live casino area of the lobby and you’ll find even more game shows, live bingo and lotto including the latest titles from Pragmatic Play Live, Evolution and Playtech Live with Entain exclusives Well Well Well Live, The Crypt of Giza and Starzle. That’s all as well as various forms of live roulette, blackjack and other card games.

Entain are renowned for their daily free slot tournaments which are completely free to play and give players the opportunity to win free spins on Entain exclusive slot games. It’s a bit different at Ladbrokes, though – they only run the slot tournaments at the weekends, but run Live Contests every day (much the same thing but with game shows instead of slots and again, completely free to play).

Ladbrokes also have a poker product but this is for download only.

Other Considerations

With all of this going on, Ladbrokes is a great place to play even if you’re not at all interested in the sports betting side of things. And for those who aren’t at all sporty, it’s still very convenient to be able to pop over to the sportsbook (or a Ladbrokes shop) to place a bet from time to time whether it be on the Grand National, Eurovision, the Oscars, the 49s or whatever. They even have esports betting.

Ladbrokes has mobile apps, but only for the casino and sportsbook. Mobile users can still play bingo though, by visiting the site on a phone or tablet browser. Entain’s mobile version of the bingo lobby offers a simplified view of the bingo tickets and it’s super easy to move between bingo gameplay, chat and minigames.

If Ladbrokes has a weak area, it’s deposit methods. There’s not a lot of choice, and if you want to claim the welcome offer there’s no choice at all – only debit cards are allowed and not all of those.

Final Thoughts

The Entain bingo product is excellent, but where Ladbrokes really excels is in the vast range of products they offer in addition to bingo – sportsbook, poker and of course a massive selection of slot and casino games including a lobby area that is just for live game shows. If you like to dabble in a bit of everything, this could be the site for you, especially as it’s got the highest possible rating for player funds protection!
