We choose our favourite online bingo site and then we stay there, yet with many sites having similar software, with not much to choose between the incentives why do we stick with one site?

The games aren’t that different across many online bingo sites yet we tend to stick to one we like. This is often to do with the ‘family feel’ at an online bingo site, the way we are greeted when we sign in and the social aspect of the whole experience feeling like a night out.

What we don’t realise is much of this is to do with the chat manager and what many of us don’t realise is just how hard this job can be.

Chat managers must manage a whole team of chat hosts, organise chat games and decide how to keep the room buzzing with the excitement that us, the online bingo player are looking for. Get the balance wrong and bingo players will drift to other online bingo sites with a better atmosphere and then the job becomes even harder with less players.

That’s why chat managers are thinking up quizzes and chat games, tourneys and competitions to keep your interest while in the bingo chat room, they then have to run all these games and keep track of any questions bingo players may have.

Next time you play online bingo you might want to take the chat manager a c(_) cuppa, they’re surely due a well earned rest!

For Gala Bingo

www.galabingo.co.uk - As well as 90 Ball bingo and 75 Ball bingo there is another popular game on most on-line bingo sites, which is 80 Ball bingo.

80 Ball bingo brings back the great old fashioned game, when you had your little shutters on you board and as the bingo caller read the numbers out so you would move the shutter across that particular number, (the good old days).

Well apart from marking you card off yourself and dreading the thought of dropping it (so all the shutters slide over and you have no idea what has been called and what has not), 80 Ball bingo nowadays is exactly the same. You start with a 4 x 4 game card which has 16 numbers on it, once the game has begun every time one of your numbers are called a little shutter automatically covers your number.

You have various ways of winning by playing 80 ball bingo. The most common of these are four corners, horizontal line, vertical line, diagonal line and of course the full house. Every game you play usually has a one line win and a full house win.

The one line is covered by either a diagonal, horizontal or vertical line on you bingo card. The full house is achieved by covering all 16 numbers on your bingo card. Some sites have bigger jackpots to play for as well as the normal one line and full house. These Jackpots are achievable by getting a full house in a certain number of balls called.

Gala Bingo - There are many sites where you do not have to download the game to start playing. This means that once you are registered, you are free to play from the actual site and it usually takes no time at all to get started. You will be prompted or notified if download is required upon registration.

Downloadable bingo can be good as they offer you the best graphics quality but on the other hand, it may take a while for download to complete, depending on your PC capabilities. If you are required to download, jus follow the steps and a shortcut will be placed on your desktop.

Sites that I know of that do not require you to download in order to play bingo games are as follows: Mecca Bingo, Gala Bingo, Foxy Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo, Spectra Bingo and many others. Sites I have visited where you do have to download the games are Bet Fred Bingo, Bingo Cafe and Bingo Liner. Bingo Cafe and Bingo Liners software is basically ‘Video Bingo’. It is completely 3D and you can literally ‘walk around’ the game and even choose a seat at a game table!

So, to summarise, bingo sites where no download is required are probably better in the long run as you can sign up quicker and log into the site as and when you want by visiting the site.
