Mirror Bingo

About Mirror Bingo

Mirror Bingo has a long history. The current version of the site was launched on the Jumpman Gaming platform in 2020. It wasn’t the first platform change for the brand, but it may well be the last. The previous change was all the way back in 2014 when it became a Virtue Fusion bingo site. Unfortunately that partnership didn’t work out so well, as the site became more and more neglected looking over the years, whereas Jumpman’s management of Mirror Bingo and other Reach sites including Star Wins and Express Wins seems to be much more on the ball and makes a lot more of what is after all a household name. A much bigger name, in fact, than Jumpman themselves so it’s not hard to see why players might feel more comfortable playing at Mirror Bingo than at some other random Jumpman brand.  Things have come full circle now as the bingo rooms have changed back to Playtech from Pragmatic Play.

Mirror Bingo’s home page used to give the bingo rooms pride of place and it still contains lots of information about different types of bingo games and a FAQ for newbies. This is quite the contrast to most Jumpman sites where you might not even realise there is any bingo from the home page. Under the hood, though, it’s still the same bingo rooms as at every other site with a Jumpman licence (including those which don’t even have the word bingo in their name).

Bingo at Mirror Bingo

After several years of running on Pragmatic Play’s bingo software, Mirror Bingo has returned to Playtech, but much has changed with that product in the intervening years.  One very positive change is that it works really well on mobile devices now.

For those who’ve played at Playtech bingo sites before, the important thing to understand is that you’re not getting the full monty here, but a cut down version of the bingo lobby with considerably fewer bingo rooms than you might expect.  That evergreen favourite Deal Or No Deal Bingo is not included, and the only way to play 75 ball bingo is Spirit Twister which has restricted opening hours and costs £1 per game.  90 ball bingo is also a bit sparse with just Age of the Gods Bingo, Fluffy Favourites Bingo and a penny room.

If you like single ticket multi stake bingo games you are rather better served as there’s Clover Rollover Bingo, Bouncy Balls Bingo and Cash Cubes, all of which were created with mobile phones in mind.

Big money bingo games run once a day, once a week and once a month across the Playtech network.  You can but tickets in advance for these and for most other bingo games.

Not only is there a restricted range of bingo rooms, there’s no chat. This isn’t a surprise as Jumpman have not had chat in their bingo rooms for years, but it will no doubt be a deal breaker for some.

Slots & Other Games at Mirror Bingo

If you are into slots as much as or more than bingo, Mirror Bingo has a great deal to offer in that department. All of the promotions including the welcome offer are focused on slots, and the sheer range of games on offer is very impressive. They also keep adding new games every few days so you’ll never run out of fresh games to try out. And the Jumpman lobby is one of the easiest to use if you want to play slots on a mobile phone.

The simplicity of the lobby comes at a cost though – there’s no information on the game tiles beyond the name of the game and there’s very little game categorisation. There’s a suppliers area showcasing the top games from some of the best known studios and the Slots tab does have some carousels showcasing games by the theme, but some of the distinctions seem a bit flaky – for example, we’re really not at all sure why Deal Or No Deal Slingo and The Dog House Dead Or Alive have been classified under “Cosmic Adventure”.

Speaking of Slingo, there’s more than 60 of these games at Mirror Bingo which is one of the best selections you’ll find anywhere.

The Jackpots part of the lobby is rather less impressive. Almost all of the games in there are by just one provider, Eyecon, and the game tiles don’t give any indication of the size of the jackpot.

There’s no option to save games as your favourites but your most recently played games show up on the home page if you’re logged in, so it’s easy to return to a game you enjoyed.

The Casino lobby tab has non live dealer roulette, blackjack and baccarat and the Live lobby has live dealer versions of the same games. Do some digging via the search box and you’ll find they have a few game shows as well (at least for now).

Mirror Bingo did have an A-Z All Games list which included everything, not just slot games, but it was removed during the last lobby update, probably because there was just too much scrolling needed (you were 160 games in before you even got to letter A). So the only way to find games that aren’t in the main lobby areas is the search box.

Other Things To Consider

Jumpman sites are well known for their promotions including network prize draws, slot tournaments run in conjunction with games providers, a daily free game where you can win slot spins plus any number of spin the wheel style redeposit offers sent out via email or text.

Unfortunately there are a few minus points as well – everything comes with wagering requirements and there’s a limit on what you can convert from a bonus.

Final Thoughts

Mirror Bingo certainly isn’t a conventional bingo site, but it could be a great choice for someone who likes to play both slots and bingo, enjoys spin the wheel type offers and isn’t into chatting.
