City Bingo

City Bingo is yet another site that has fallen under the Joy of Bingo Network, owned by 888. When it was bought it had a revamp, and now offers some of the best online bingo in the UK.

When entering the homepage you will be met by a slick and fun looking page, which has similar navigation to many other online bingo sites with quick click tabs taking you to all the relevant areas. You also get to see all of City Bingo latest offers, jackpots and sign up deals.

The page has a nice red and black colour scheme and tries to create a classy environment, with lots of the rooms having celebrity lifestyle themes. Such as stretched limos, and shopping sprees. It does appear to be more aimed at the female players, but it definitely manages to create its own identity and brand. Something other sites fail to do.

City Bingo Deposits

Moving on to the first deposit offers, and City Bingo has one of the very best offered by and on the Dragonfish Network. You get a huge first deposit boost on your first deposit between 35 and £100. It does not stop at that though.

Every further deposit after that will receive a reload bonus, so you know you’re going to be getting free bingo money for the life of your account. The real stand out though is the “newbie non funded” room. You do not have to deposit a penny into your account in order to play this room for 3 full days, and win the £20 jackpot, £5 bonuses and loads of potential loyalty points.

City Bingo will bring you 90 ball, 75 ball and speed bingo games, meaning they really do cater for all player types. The rooms run all through the day and night, be sure to look out for when some of the specialist rooms are running. For example, the speed bingo room plays between 7.30 and 11.30 for those people short on time.

City Bingo Games

Like most online bingo companies, and all being owned by 888, you get your usual assortment of casino games. These include slots, scratch cards and instant win games. These carry some very handsome prizes and have people signing up for them alone. The piggy payout progressive jackpot was one that we found to be a high earner, and can see you playing for a share of £50,000.

City also offer you 90 ball and 75 ball on their online bingo app for smart phone and tablet. It is very bug free and is a great way to play on the go. You can also play a select number of their instant win games and slots on the app.

The game chat, and social interaction on City is very pleasant. Users appear to be friendly and the chat hosts are always on hand to help. They do not create the same buzz I have experienced in other online bingo sites, but they more than get the job done, and can let players relax and just concentrate on their cards without being overpowering.

City Bingo does offer players a selection of offers, these can be found by clicking on the Promotions tab at the top of the home page. These offers are pretty much restricted to the free bingo bonus offers for depositing ; this is most likely because there is so much free bingo on offer, that there doesn’t seem to be the need to offer as many random promotions that some other sites offer.

City Bingo is a fun contemporary-looking online bingo hall that is powered by 888’s DragonFish (previously known as Globalcom), and therefore, simply faultless when it comes to security, game play and graphic options.

City Bingo offers a good variety of games, generous bonuses, and some of the most attractive promotions around.

City Bingo offers all new registering players the chance to scoop an amazing 1000 loyalty points for doing nothing more than opening an account, points which can be swiftly converted into free bingo money if you like.

Bingo cards are available from as little as 5p with the occassional offering seeing this price sink to just a penny!

There is always a lot going on in the 5 bingo rooms available and with the tournament opportunities on offer here, there is more than enough to keep even the most avid online bingo enthusiast happy.

As with the majority of top quality sites out there, you can customise your game play in a number of ways. One of which is the option of marking your bingo tickets manually or simply leaving the computer to do the job for you. The various customising options can be found under the ‘options’ tab.

City Bingo offers 75 & 90 ball bingo plus plenty of rooms available via the bingo lobby which you enter by pressing the “Play Bingo” button.

Some rooms are reserved for the sole use of depositing players but it is clear from the lobby which rooms they may be as each individual room will show you the number of players in the given room, plus the game being played and the prizes available.

City Bingo also offers a surfeit of side games from instant win games, slots, table games and scratchcards.

In addition, where is online bingo without the much needed chat? The chat at City Bingo is lively and upbeat and the friendly CM’s are always on hand ready to help.

And of course, the Jackpots here are excellent with the most notable being the thrice weekly million pound bingo game!

Although this game has yet to be won, someone, somewhere is going to have to win it at some stage and it could be you! Well, why not?!
