Bingo guide

Objective

The object of Bingo is to match all the numbers in a special pattern which will be shown on the screen for each game. Random numbers are called out one at a time and are then highlighted on the screen. If you complete the pattern you've got BINGO and will win money or a prize! Players may win this prize outright or it may be shared by other players who have also matched the relevant numbers on their cards. JackpotJoy's Bingo is a 75-ball game that allows you to purchase up to 100 cards per game, up to 10 games in advance.

Rules

There are two methods for buying cards.

1. To buy cards for the next game, click on the "Click to buy for next game" button and select how many cards you wish to buy for the next game. You will be shown the detail of your purchase, including how many cards you have selected and how many FREE BONUS CARDS your purchase has earned you. If you are then satisfied with your details, click the "Buy Cards" button or click the "Back" button to make changes.

2. Alternatively, you can click the "Buy Cards" button at the bottom of the screen; this will allow you to purchase cards for up to 10 games in advance. Remember that playing more cards simultaneously increases your chances of winning any particular game. Once you have purchased your cards wait until the next game starts, and then you are ready to play!

let your computer do the work while you watch, chat, or play the mini games. You can even buy cards and switch off your computer, because our bingo server will automatically keep track of your cards and award you any prize or money you have won in your absence.

The Progressive Jackpot

To add to the excitement of Bingo, you'll also have a chance to win our huge Progressive Jackpot! The Progressive Jackpot is a constantly growing prize that rolls over from game to game until it is won. The more players who are playing that particular game means a bigger jackpot that is up for grabs.

You can see the current Progressive Jackpot total near the top of the screen. The number in brackets beside it refers to the number of balls you have remaining to complete the pattern on your card. As each ball is called during the course of a game, the number in brackets will decrease by one. If you complete the pattern by the time the number reaches 0, you win the jackpot!

The Super Jackpot

At various times throughout the day, we will be adding another huge prize to certain Bingo games. This Super Jackpot is won in the same way as the Progressive Jackpot, and its total can also be seen at the top of the screen. If you complete the pattern on your card quickly enough, you will win both prizes for a massive double windfall! You can check which games have Super Jackpots by looking at the game schedule. To see this , click on BUY CARDS, and then BUY FROM SCHEDULE to view the Super Jackpot games for the next hour.

Auto Daub

The "auto daub" feature will automatically watch and mark all of your cards for you, which is convenient if you are playing many cards at the same time. However, if you would like to take a more pro-active approach, you can turn the "auto daub" off and manually mark your card by moving your mouse over the numbers. Don't worry if you accidentally miss a number; all of your prizes will be awarded whether you have daubed your cards or not.

Auto Sort

With the "auto daub" feature enabled the Cauto sort feature will automatically sequence your cards so that you can always how close any given card is to completing the winning pattern, and therefore, how close you are to winning a prize.While playing with "auto daub" enabled, "auto sort" will automatically sequence your cards so that you can always see how close your best cards are to completing the pattern and winning a prize.

Mini Games

Once your cards have been purchased our system will automatically match your numbers with any that are drawn in the game. One of the special features on bingo is the "mini games" section. There is a variety of other Jackpot Joy games featured in a mini console at the bottom of the screen. These are identical to their "bigger brothers" that are featured in their own right elsewhere on the sight (you may have played these before). Playing these will not affect the outcome of the bingo game you are currently playing. One of the games is our perennial site favourite Bullion Bonanza which unlike the other games featured is a progressive slot machine. Playing this will enable you play for the Progressive Jackpot which will be exactly the same total as it is on the main Bullion Bonanza game featured elsewhere on the site.
