Why do we love bingo more than other games?

Bingo has always been a favourite pastime here in the UK, and while it may have been more suited to your nan and her group of geriatric friends back in the day, it’s sure come a long way since then. Let’s face it, bingo halls were hardly a mecca for socialising with folk under the age of 60. Thanks to online bingo, however, that’s all been changing at a rather rapid pace.

Listen, we know we might be a bit biased here, but you can’t argue with facts, and our mates over at Top Rated Bingo Sites put together a little research and found that in 2017, 25% of regular bingo players were between the ages of 18-34. Now riddle me not, but we believe this means online bingo games have been wildly successful in getting an even larger population to play the great game!

The UK has millions of regular bingo players, as well as those who play when they fancy it every now and then. So what is it that makes bingo such a well-loved game above all others? Well, you’re about to find out, aren’t ya?

Sign-up and welcome bonuses

Now, we love getting new visitors to our site, and so we feel it’s only right to welcome them with a wonderful bonus. While we consider ourselves the crème de la crème, the truth is almost all bingo sites will also offer new members these sign-up bonuses. But wait! There’s more! Not only are new Lucky Pants players welcomed with some pretty tasty sign-up treats, we keep the party going with regular special promotions that players can take advantage of.

We know our customers are the most important part of our business, and we love that we can treat them just how they deserve to be treated! Everyone loves a little present, and this is just one of the reasons why playing bingo games online has become so popular.

Variety is the spice of life

You’d be forgiven for thinking that bingo just comes in one form if you’ve only ever been to a bingo hall. You’ve probably witnessed scenes of traditional 90-ball bingo being played at a speed that’s surely humanly impossible to keep up with.

The lure to online sites for mere mortals is that there’s a huge variety of different bingo games to choose from to suit your desires. Of course, if you’re a conservative kind of person and like to stick to what you know, then there’s the option of traditional 90-ball bingo, but you could also switch it up a bit and try the American version: 75-ball bingo. If you’re really feeling out there, then give Slingo Bingo a try: if slots and bingo were able to have a baby, Slingo Bingo would be the result! It’s fast, it’s fun and it’s incredibly entertaining.

The sheer variety of bingo on offer online is an attractive prospect for players who don’t feel like sticking to a single game and prefer to mix things up.

Play on the go

Long gone are the days when your bingo experience is limited to playing in a hall, and now the best bingo sites give you options to play games on mobile, desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, and just about everything else in between.

This multi-format offering is particularly appealing to a younger audience who can now play their favourite games on the go! Whether they’re on the train, waiting in a queue, sitting on a park bench, in the bath, or simply relaxing on the sofa, the flexibility of online bingo has undoubtedly added to its appeal.

Socialising

Now, you might think that playing games online takes away the social element of bingo halls, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Bingo sites have chat rooms for players where they can socialise with other players, ask questions and enjoy a good bout of banter to keep them entertained – all while the game’s going on.

At Lucky Pants Bingo, we have a wonderful team of funky – and, might I add, good-looking – humans who will keep you enthralled for hours at a time.

Tempting technology

If you find keeping up with the bingo caller and marking off your card a particular challenge, then you’re not alone. Even the Stig might have issues with the speed at which some of the games are played.

New technology has made it much easier to keep up with bingo for those who struggle a little. There are now optional automatic daubing systems that will cross off your numbers for you when they’re called out so you never miss out. This technology has contributed to the rise in the number of people playing bingo.

It’s downright fun

At the end of the day, the thing that makes bingo the UK’s favourite game simply comes down to the fact that it’s incredibly fun. There’s nothing not to like about it. It’s the perfect combination of adrenaline, brain power, socialising and entertainment. This is truly the reason why it is so appealing to people from all over the country and around the world.

Endless entertainment with Lucky Pants Bingo

As a bingo site, it’d be a little weird if we didn’t love bingo, but don’t simply go on what we say about it! Sign up on online bingo for a wonderful welcome bonus, special promotions and endless hours of entertainment playing a variety of bingo games, online slots and more.
