Gala BingoPosted in Online Bingo Reviews
They have over 175 clubs and more then 5 million members. Overall, they pay out up to £28 million in prizes each week. They believe in responsible gambling and have a section on their site about this. Prizes are higher than other sites due to the fact that there seems to be more bingo players at all times of the day USER REVIEW Gala bingo is a well known reputable bingo site so i arrive expecting to find a very professional looking home page and an easy to use, well thought out site. I was not disappointed. Although the home page is a little cluttered, the lay out of the site seems very good with easy navigation from the home page. The home page features the wonderful Sharon Osborn and an offer to join up today and receive £20.00 free play. The home page of the site also features a navigation menu leading to other areas of the site which include promotional offers and a page showing all the games available with a little bit of info on each one. There are the usual array of bingo games alongside some instant win games such as monopoly and Deal or no deal. There are also some more unusual games with interesting names such as "Golden Balls" and Tunnel of Love! I also found a time table clearly showing the time and prices for the games. The site has a chat area which features info on the mods, chat games and more impressively a chat lingo section which is a real blessing to online bingo newcomer's like myself who would have no idea that GMTA would mean great minds think alike or that someone typing ROFL was in fact rolling around on the floor laughing (in a cyber sort of way i assume!). So armed with my new chat lingo and info on the games i set about completing the registration and claiming my free £20.00. You need to make a deposit of at least £5.00 to claim your £20.00. I did this and was disappointed not to see my £20.00 appear in my balance. Trusting the reputable Gala name though, I went on to select a game to play anyway. i selected a lunch time special game named "city". The price for a ticket was a snip at only 5 p and the jackpot a whopping £125.00. You could also win 15.00 for 1 line and £30.00 FOR 2 lines. There was 379 players in the game so it is a popular choice and i suspected my chances of winning to be slim. The game got under way and the chatter's seemed like a friendly bunch. I also learned from someone in the chat room that my £20.00 free credit would be credited once my 5.00 deposit had been used up. The numbers are read clearly and quickly without being rushed and i found myself really enjoying the game. As the game progressed i was waiting for just one number for the full house and to my absolute delight i won!! Yes thats right the jackpot!! £125.00. This was my first online bingo win and was as exciting and thrilling as i was expecting it to be. However my excitement was short lived as i realised i had not hit the claim button so may not have claimed my prize. a quick check of my balance revealed that the winnings were there and i could once again bask in the glory of my win!! I decided to play a few more games , after all maybe this is the start of a winning streek? I went on to play a seaside game and a country game, both were lunchtime specials and were really enjoyable although i was not lucky enough to win again. Click here to try Gala Bingo |
