3 Quirky Bingo promotions that inspired us

By

The world of online bingo is ever expanding, with new bingo sites emerging every week bringing the total count to somewhere over 300!

Unfortunately, from a player’s point of view, this rapid rise in the number of sites hasn’t been met with an increase in the amount of exciting new bingo propositions. It’s pretty fair to say that out of those 300 or so sites, about 290 are pretty much exactly the same thing with a different logo stuck on.

After all bingo is bingo, right? True, there is only so much you can do with the game to make it exciting and if you do anything drastically different, you’ve probably created something that isn’t bingo.

Below are a couple of examples of the sorts of promotions that some bingo sites have ran in order to make life a little more exciting.

Our Top 3 Bingo Promotions:

  1. Loo Roll Rocket!

The first promotion belongs to one of our favourite bingo sites, the promotion is called ‘Loo Roll Rocket’, what’s that got to do with bingo sites, you may ask?

The Loo Roll Rocket contest was run via Rocket Bingo’s Facebook page, players and FB fans were asked to cobble together a rocket out of loo rolls, then once complete they were requested to upload the photo to FB. Part of the fun was that the creator (or a pet) had to appear in the photo with the rocket. This made the images very shareable on FB.

The competition was judged independently and the winner was awarded an Ipod, there were several runners up prizes too, including a copy of Elton John’s Rocket Man album – genius.

As you can see from the images below, people really got into the promotion:

  1. The Tidy Cupboard

This is a promotion that was launched by Tidy Bingo. The Tidy Cupboard is a special stand-alone bingo room where players meet for a series of unusual chat games and fun.

The cupboard is a great promotion because it makes Tidy unique from the other sites on the network and gives players a good chance to get acquainted with the people who run the site, given that Nicki, the site manager hosts one of the sessions.

  1. Pimp My Pumpkin

Similar in style to our number 1 promotion and also from Rocket Bingo is our 3rd favourite promotion, Pimp my Pumpkin.

For this promo the bingo site asked players to carve a pumpkin for Halloween, the twist was that it had to be in the style of Rocket Bingo. For novices, templates were provided, but for those with the creativity and confidence their task was to create a unique design!

Again this competition was posted on FB and that’s where the entries were published. As you can see below, again people really got stuck in:

So there you have it, our top three bingo promotions that prove that bingo sites can have personality! Keep your eyes open for more quirky bingo promotions, they’re few and far between!

Advanced Blackjack Strategy

By

Blackjack is still one of the world’s most popular card games for gamblers and you can find all the best sites to play it at TopLiveCasinos.com.

There are blackjack players and there are successful blackjack players. What makes the difference? Experience plays a part, but the main factor is strategy. If you aren’t using any kind of strategy for playing blackjack you’re decreasing your chances of winning.

Blackjack Strategy

The odds of winning a hand of blackjack vary, depending on the two cards you are dealt and the card you can see in front of the dealer. That much should be obvious. But do you know the odds for each combination? There’s a good chance you don’t as there are far too many combinations to remember.

It’s not always a case of blindly saying “I should hit because I have 12.” In this case if the dealer is showing a 4 or 5 there’s a good chance you can beat him even if you stand. [Read more…] about Advanced Blackjack Strategy

Protecting the blinds in MTTs

By

If a player wants to be successful in multi-table tournaments in Texas Hold’em, a number of factors came have to come together. First of all, you have to stick with the right strategy. Secondly, you need to get lucky. Of course, this component doesn’t allow you to improve your odds (aside from wearing a lucky charm or two), but the game of strategy and tactics is entirely up to you. The optimal strategy consists of dozens or even hundreds of small things. Protecting the blinds has a special value.

Get ready for war!

If you decide to defend the blinds in Texas Hold’em, then you have to be ready for combat. Basically, it’s a necessary business – but it’s dangerous nonetheless. You can be sure that almost every opponent will try to snatch a piece of your stack. Virtually any multi-table tournament will make you witness how the player who is in the big blind made the call and subsequently found himself between the rock and hard place. Many poker players do not want to give up their blinds, so they are ready to take unnecessary risks in order not to lose them. During such times, they completely forget about following the strategy and simply battle for blinds. It turns out that most of the poker players are ready to risk losing the war to win a battle, which is fundamentally wrong. The excessive defense of the blinds is a mistake.

Passive blind protection method

The main problem and the danger of blind defense is that the player continues the take action out of position. It’s like the importance of playing in the position no longer standing applied. Being in such an unenviable spot, the big blind must act aggressively. Mike Caro said, a well-known poker author once said: “Money is moving in a circle at the poker table. But it is very hard for me to win when I’m in the big blind. This is a very bad place to be at the poker table. ”

In such a situation, do not rush when it comes to making important decisions.It is better to play passively (check-call) from the big blind. Let the opponents control the hand and simply follow the situation. Depending on the actions of your opponents, you might be able to understand their intentions, so try to read them. It is not necessary to force things and make it your hand, as you could be walking straight into the jaws of a tiger. When playing a passive game, you may just as well protect their blinds. With the help of this trick you control the size of the pot and you don’t have to inflate it. The best situation would be a small pot and small bets coming from your opponent.
