Can you imagine going on a luxurious cruise on a liner whose main purpose was to bring you everything bingo. Okay, so there isnt a lot of chance that you are going to be able to do that in the real world, but in the world of web based bingo everything is possible, and Bingo Liner have made the dream possible for anyone who wants it (in a virtual world).
When you first visit the Bingo Liner site you are greeted by an amazing home page featuring of all things a large Union Jack life preserver. In addition to
this the bold “PLAY IN POUNDS!” statement at the top of the screen, immediately tells you that the site is British and proud of it. The rest of the home page is equally well designed, with a “JOIN NOW” button in the centre of the page making it easy to get to the place you need to be to join. There is a menu in the upper left corner, a “WALK AND CHAT” software demo underneath it (which we will discuss in detail later) and useful statistics about previous winners and progressive jackpot figures taking up
the remainder of the page which gives you a good idea of what is on offer.
The first stage on the way to getting started as a new player at Bingo Liner is to enter your e-mail address. When you have done that, you will be asked to download the software required to play on the site, dont worry about downloading this software it only allows you to play the game. Downloading is fast and problem free, and this leaves just the last step of entering your personal information which is done securely so nobody else can see your details. The whole process takes minutes, and then you’re ready to start playing.
Your reward for downloading the software at Bingo Liner is some of the best 3D graphics around in the world of online bingo. You as the player are represented on screen by a three dimensional person a little similar to Lara Croft in Tomb Raider – a model which can be male or female (according to the gender you entered in the personal information screen when setting up) and which a figure which can move around the virtual bingo environment. For example, if you opt to start playing bingo right away, your three dimensional person will go up the steps from the deck of the liner to the bingo hall, open
one of the doors (there are different doors for different games) and access the room you want to be in.
When you arrive inside the bingo room you want to be in, you can sit down at the virtual table of your choice. Other players are already seated and will be similarly represented by characters of their own selection. You can chat to them (and everyone else in the room) all th time you are in the
room. All of this makes the experience of playing here a fairly unique one, and you really do get the feeling that you’re playing bingo on a cruise liner with a bunch of matess!
The main game itself (pattern bingo) is just as much fun as the immersive environment. As you would expect, you can buy multiple tickets and the numbers will be checked automatically. The unique thing here is that you get to see smaller versions of your bingo cards on the table in front of your avatar (as well as normal sized cards elsewhere on the screen) and these will change colour the closer you get to winning. Seeing the colours of your cards – and the cards of those you are sitting with – change with each number called helps to build up the tension like you wouldn’t believe!
As well as all of the main bingo games, the Bingo Liner site also has a selection of mini games that you can play in between games of bingo not unlike being in a real bingo hall where you can go and play the slots in between the main events, very helpful customer service and plenty of ongoing promotions. In a nutshell, we think it’s a great place to hang out and play, but don’t just take our word for this – get your free ticket and climb aboard and discover this for yourself!
