We love it when there is a new online bingo game launched and hearing news from the clever guys at Pragmatic Play has certainly softened our sadness at not being able to find any of their new Reel Room Bingo games anywhere just yet.
Beachball Blast Bingo is the newest addition to the collection of bingo games Pragmatic Play offer to its customer sites. We took a look at the game over at hbingo.
The concept of blast bingo has been around since last year with snowball blast, being a, well, blast to play.
Its a 90 ball game and tickets vary from 2p to 5p up to 20p throughout the day with the option to purchase the maximum amount of 96 tickets. You play to win the full house only. Pretty straight forward, however to be honest I think if you played for one or two lines, you blink at the wrong time and you will miss it.
The balls are called out fast, so its a quick paced game with no messing around – probably not the one to test out daubing your own tickets on! The balls are called out 3-4 times faster than your usual game, however I know there are some extremely quick pro bingo players out there that love the rush of the fast numbers.
The graphics are pretty sweet and I think the designers maybe went for the beach vibe because not many of us are getting away to sit under palm trees and sit on sandy beaches this summer. There are some cute graphics of starfish, bouncing beachballs and a smiley crab with a sail boat gently bobbing along on the sea in the background. The palm trees gently move in the wind. The balls float along the top of the screen and move along as new balls are called.
Claire McDaid, Vice President of Bingo at Pragmatic Play said:
” We like to keep our USPs fresh and engaging for our players as well as ensuring our partners have new content to promote. We’re already seeing Beachball Blast performing extremely well which shows players love the seasonality of our product.
“Whilst we’ve only had a short glimpse of summer in the UK so far, we’re ensuring our players are feeling HOT HOT HOT, with some beach day vibes!”
We think they have hit the nail on the head here. Bingo players love holidays and anything holiday related is sure to be a big hit. That coupled with the varied choice of ticket prices throughout the day, it provides all player budgets with something.
Pragmatic Play are keen to be at the forefront of bingo game and slot development so these guys are sure to be bringing us even more bingo variants over the next few months.
I wonder if they are going to bring us a bingo game with a live bingo caller one day to add to their collection of live presenter led casino games. Now that would be fun.
