The main event then—the games. Behind the theme and the design, Blighty Bingo puts forward a pretty solid offering, with some great bingo games to be enjoyed here. The Free 4 U Room is open to new players, right from the second you sign-up for an account, to provide an opportunity for free bingo play. There’s still the chance to win real money here too, which is always a bonus. I started my journey here, and found a room filled with other newbies, getting the hang of life playing at Blighty Bingo.
Click ‘PLAY BINGO’ in the header when you log in, and you’re presented with a range of 52-ball, 75-ball and 90-ball bingo rooms for when you’re ready to play for real money. Some bingo rooms are scheduled and only play at certain times of the day, so I recommend having a look around and planning your play accordingly. The evening games tend to be where most of the action is chat-wise, so you might want to think about clearing some time to get to know other players around these games.
Choice is one thing you won’t be short of here, with bingo rooms like Ace Club Big Bang, Street Party, Mystery Jackpots, Blighty 90, Kaching and loads more keeping things fresh time after time. I also like how each of the bingo rooms have their own theme. Blighty Bingo does very well to put this together, and to keep different games feeling exciting with their mix of game formats and prizes.
On the slots front, there are around 500 different slots to choose from, coming from a plethora of developers. These are divided into Popular, New and All games.
I was a bit disappointed at the lack of jackpot slots here and felt there was more room for onboarding a larger number of game developers to bulk out the selection. Mega Fortune and Millionaire Genie were all I could see in terms of bigger money slot games. While this might be enough for those who dabble in slots on the side, more experienced slots players like myself will likely find this limiting.
I’d say on balance, the game offering is fairly good, and as a bingo site first and foremost, Blighty Bingo delivers on its promises of a variety of high-quality bingo games. By taking things one or two steps further here, they could start to build up a much better offering—something they’ll need to do if they want to compete with the bigger brand bingo sites over the long term.
