Zingo Bingo

About Zingo Bingo

If you think the name Zingo Bingo sounds familiar, you’re right.  It was previously used several years ago for a Jumpman Gaming brand.  The new Zingo Bingo has no connection with the previous version apart from the name and unlike the original, promises to be a proper full fat bingo site with a vibrant community. The people behind the brand, Kinetic Digital, have a vision of rebuilding bingo’s social heart online.

Much like PlayOJO, Zingo Bingo sits on the Skill on Net licence with bingo rooms powered by Playtech, meaning that you get the industry leading bingo software coupled with an absolutely enormous library of slot and casino games.

Getting Started At Zingo Bingo

Registration at Zingo Bingo is quick and easy but you MUST have a mobile phone as the first pieces of information you need to enter are your phone number and date of birth.  If you’ve played at a Skill on Net casino before, that’s ALL you need to enter as they will populate everything else from your existing account.

Once you’ve accepted the terms and conditions and opted into your choice of marketing channels, you’ll be sent a 4 digit code via SMS which you’ll need to enter to activate your account, so make sure you have your phone handy.

Once you’be played the £10 to claim the bingo offer, look for bingo rooms with the pink “FT” symbol in the lobby and on the schedule as that’s where you can redeem your free bingo tickets, in games with a ticket price of up to 10p.

Bingo At Zingo Bingo

Zingo Bingo has a very full lineup of Playtech bingo rooms, all covered by the Zingo Lounge hosted chatroom. Here’s what you can expect to see in the lobby:

• 90 ball – two network rooms plus Age of the Gods Bingo, Deal Or No Deal 90, Fluffy Favourites Bingo and daily, weekly and monthly jackpot bingo games (and we do mean jackpot – the monthly big game has a prize pool of £100K).
• 75 and 80 ball – Spirit Twister, Deal Or No Deal 75, pattern bingo, 5 line bingo and an 80 ball room
• Others – 36 ball Cash Cubes, 50 ball Clover Rollover Bingo and 60 ball Bouncy Balls Bingo

At the time of writing Zingo Bingo also has some exclusive bingo rooms.  The 90 ball Bingomania game which plays at 10pm every Saturday appears to be networked with other Skill On Net bingo sites including PlayOJO and the other three rooms are fully exclusive to Zingo Bingo.

• Free Mix is a free room which runs the occasional game
• Zingo Beats is open for two hours of 5p 90 ball games every evening, all with the Last Chance scratchcard feature
• Millennium Mix is also open for two hours every evening, immediately after Zingo Beats.  It’s an allsorts room running a variety of 80 ball, 75 ball and 90 ball games with features including 1TG, Roll On and Last Chance.

All of these different bingo rooms are served up in the latest version of the Playtech bingo lobby which is really easy to find your way around on all sizes of screen (and comes with a handy tutorial).  A huge selection of slot games by Playtech and Eyecon (including Age of the Gods progressive jackpots) can be played as minigames from inside a bingo room or at a bigger size from the Games part of the lobby.

The Prebuy part of the bingo lobby has been made much more powerful in the latest version of the bingo software.  On arrival at the Prebuy tab you’ll be shown all available games in all rooms for the next two hours. You can narrow it down to specific rooms or other time segments by using the drop down menus.  If you want to buy further in advance there’s a filtering button which lets you find games by date, time, bingo type, feature and/or ticket price up to a month ahead.

Games at Zingo Bingo

The bingo lobby includes so many slot games that it may be a while before you even get round to looking at the games elsewhere on site. When you do, you are in for a treat – there are literally thousands of games (more than 8000, in fact) from getting on for 100 different games providers. It’s not so much as question of what games have they got as of what haven’t they got!

You can get an idea of the breadth and quality of the selection by looking at the progressive jackpots; as well as the previously mentioned Age of the Gods there’s Jackpot King, Dream Drop, Red Tiger dailies, Eyecon Super and Mega Jackpots, IGT Megajackpots, Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza and more.  These all sit in their own lobby tab.

Within the Slots lobby tab there’s various subsections for new games, exclusives, Megaways and so on, and on the lobby home page you can find games grouped by theme (Icy Adventures, Egyptian Wonders, Let’s Go Fishing etc), giving you plenty of ideas for what to play next.

To find more games, there’s the search box and the filtration tool.  You can search on game name, category and/or provider and all the results pop up as game tiles, so you can add them to your favourites and/or pop up the information panel to find out more about the game. The search is smart enough to cope with typos: when I mistyped “nirto” into the search box what came back was the ten games in the Nitropolis series.

The filtering tool sits next to the search box.  You can filter by game type, game tag (megaways, jackpot, new etc), star rating and/or minimum stake so, for example, you can view all new slot games with a 5 star rating.  It would be nice if game theme was included too, but it’s not.

If you are a fan of instant win games you will be delighted to find that there’s a whole lobby area for Instants, with sections for scratchcards, video poker, video bingo, crash games, arcade games (e.g. Blocks, Lucky Tap) and “extra games” (plinko, keno, mines etc).   This is really useful if you’d like to explore these different styles of game.  Zingo Bingo also has plenty of Slingo games and you can find these next to the bingo.

Casino game enthusiasts are catered to as well.  There’s a few table games under Casino Games and you can find many more under Live Casino (you do have to look in the “More” drop down menu to spot this lobby area).  Live roulette and blackjack are streamed both from studios and from famous casinos around the world and there’s a big choice of game shows from Playtech, Evolution, Pragmatic Play and others.

The final two lobby areas (also to be found under More) are Lite Play (low stakes slots and live casino games) and Hot/Cold (which shows that games that players have collectively won and lost the most on in the last few hours).

Other Things To Consider

Promotions at Zingo Bingo are mainly delivered by means of Daily Picks, which are tailored to your play style.  Although there is a promotions page on the website with the welcome offer, Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins and various Playtech network bingo promotions, it’s not visible after login and you need to wait for something to show up under either Daily Picks or Rewards.

Zingo Bingo doesn’t have the biggest choice of deposit methods, but there are some alternatives to debit cards, any of them can be used to claim the welcome offer and there’s no fees unless you need to withdraw using wire transfer.

Customer service is done by live chat (available 6am till midnight) and you can also email them or fill in a webform.  The live chat interface includes links to the FAQs.

Final Thoughts

It’s really nice to see a new bingo site launch with hosted chat and the community that comes with that as well as a bingo focused welcome offer.  Zingo Bingo combines a top notch bingo product with a vast range of other games and we expect it to be very popular.
