JackpotCity Online Casino Blog

Hello everyone

I hope that everyone had a fun, safe weekend that those of you who were in the snow built some cool snowmen (excuse the pun). As some of you may know, we ran a wee competition last week here at JackpotCity.com online bingo, where we gave away £10 on the spot to the first 10 roomies to email us with their favourite colour. Well, the response was amazing and within 3 minutes we had almost 100 emails! I’ve added up all the emails and it looks like Blue is the favourite colour here at JackpotCity.com online bingo with Red and Purple close behind.

Congratulations to our 10 winners who each received £10 on Thursday:

• luckylisa7
• wendystar
• julianna29
• alyhyena
• yorkshiremum799
• cazy28
• teegs5
• suedawn
• simpkay
• bazilla

The weekend was jam packed with winners at www.jackpotcitybingo.com with the £250 Hundreds and Thousands jackpot being won THREE times, and here’s the really crazy part - it was won twice by the same person!

Well done to bigtimeloser33 and twizzle99 for winning. Extra WD to twizzle who won it twice!

Bingo News - Cleaner Scoops World’s Biggest Bingo Win

I was having a read on Sky when I saw this article

A cleaner has scooped what is thought to be the world’s biggest ever bingo win - and is splitting the £1.2m prize with her neighbour. Soraya Lowell, 38, from Hamilton in Lanarkshire won the National Bingo Game and its Platinum Jackpot on Sunday night, netting £1,167,795.The mother-of-four has decided to give half of her winnings to Agnes O’Neill, 68, her neighbour and bingo companion who was with her when she hit the jackpot.Mrs Lowell said: “We always share whatever either of us wins and this time will be no different.”
Mrs O’ Neill added: “I have had a rough time the last three years - I have been very ill and Soraya has cared for me which meant my husband did not have to retire early.”She has been wonderful to me. What she has done for me is absolutely something else.”

(…) Despite her win, Mrs Lowell has vowed to return to work.

She said: “It just won’t sink in yet. I haven’t slept at all, but I will be back at work as usual. I clean offices until 1.30am and I don’t intend to give up my job.”

What would you do with a win that big? Drop us a comment and let us know!

Well, that’s all for now - I’ll be back here soon!

Till next time, gl in the bingo hall!

A few days ago someone here at the office asked me a good question – why am I writing this blog? Or more specifically – why am I writing a blog for a bingo hall? What could blogging and bingo possibly have in common, and what could I possibly say that would be interesting to bingo player other than ‘Play Bingo.’ So, I flipped the question on him and asked why he thought I was blogging. The answer I got back was ‘because all the other bingo halls are doing it.’

My colleague (let’s call him Jim for now) was partly right, but right for the wrong reasons (I bet you’re going to read that again.) Jim was right - one of the reasons that I started blogging is in fact because there are so many other bingo blogs about. This is a competitive industry, and it can be dangerous to be left behind by not using all the new tools available.

But that’s not just it.

Bingo is our business here at JackpotCity.com, we live it, breathe it and play it every day. And we like to think that we know a fair share about it. But you are a part of the bigger online community, who collectively know more and are a lot smarter than a few of us cooped up in an office, even if we do get to play with hula hoops. We think we know what would be good/fun in the bingo hall but these are just our theories and ideas. You’re the ones who actually know what the real deal is. And it would be daft of us to ignore that fact.

So, that my friends is the reason we started this blog. Because I think that it’s only fair that since it’s your bingo hall, you should have a say over what happens here. After all – if you’re happy, we’re happy It’s good business and plain old fashioned common courtesy to listen to what you’re saying.

Yes – a blog is also a great way to keep our roomies up to date on the latest happening in our little bingo world and a place for you to get to know us, but ultimately it’s so that we can take some time and listening to what you think. Have I said that a lot in the few paragraphs? Lol, I think I have – it just goes to show how much value we place on erm…what you think.

We might not be the biggest bingo hall out there (yet) but we love to have fun. And we know that we can give all our players special attention from the second they join up. So if you have a problem with your account or your welcome bonus, TheBingoManager and TheCityBingoGuy are in the chat rooms every day to help and fix things chop chop. Our CMs are some of the best and friendliest in the business and even the members of the team who you aren’t lucky enough to meet are some of the nicest and most helpful people I know. And they’re all here to help you have fun in a safe, trustworthy bingo environment.

So take one short minute, sign up as a reader on our little scribble pad and let us know what you think – we’re listening and we care.

Till next time, have fun in the bingo hall

P.S - the team pic was NOT taken at McDonalds, though i secretely wish it was. Can you guess who’s hungry?

You’ve heard about blogs on the internet, but what is it actually about? Why does JackpotCity.com have one, and more importantly – why should you care?Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia) defines a blog (short for  Web Log) as ”a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order”. Basically, this just means that all the newest info always stays at the top of the site, so you don’t have to go scratching around all over to find the good stuff. On our blog we’ll have all the latest games info, special promos (we’re going to try and have something fun every day) and just general things about life, kids, family and bingo of course. The blog is also a chance for you to get your thoughts to us. Have a good idea that you think we should know about? Well, then let us know. Disagree with something that we’ve done or said? Then the blog is your place to get your views out for all to see.

Meet the team at JackpotCity.com online bingo!

We’re a right friendly bunch round here and our blog is also a great place for you to meet the team at www.jackpotcitybingo.com with pics and profiles uploaded straight to the blog. We’ll also be adding a section specially for our fab CMs, so you can see who they are and what they’re up to (and you can also drop them a note from the blog).

In the pic here we’ve got our little team: our designers - Lauren, Jeanine and Stevo. Justin is our resident wordsmith and helps out with our emails and also writes The JackpotCity times (more on that coming son!). Roxy is the lovely lass who handles all our advertising and makes sure that all the ads out there are in the right place and saying the right things. Gilbert and myself have been dubbed “The Bingo Boys” and between the two of us we try and keep the bingo hall running smoothly everyday. We go around as TheCityBingoGuy and TheBingoManager, but who do you think is who? Hmmm…It would be interesting to see what roomies think Take a quick second and tell us what YOU think by leaving us a comment below.

I’ll be back here soon, so be sure to keep an eye on the blog and have fun at www.jackpotcitybingo.com

Hello roomies

Traditionally, today would be the day that St. Patrick’s day is celebrated all over the world, but this year things got moved about a little. The team here at JackpotCity.com online bingo figured that we could still have a wee bit of fun on the generally accepted day, so we’ve got a handful of nifty surprises for you.

First let’s dish out the REALLY good news - for today only we’re tripling the Hundreds and Thousands bonus between 12H00and 12H30. So if you get the fh in under 48 calls, you’ll win your prize plus an extra £750!

I’ll also be in the bingo hall from 14h00 - 16h00 today along with TheCityBingoGuy and we’ll be doubling your winnings on the spot on selected games. Want in on the fun? Well then be sure to play today

There’s also a brand spanking new wallpaper available for all our friends, which you can get off the bingo website, or if you’re a member you can download it off our Flickr account .Got any favourites? Let me know which one you like most

I’d better get back to work and be ready for today’s lunch time fun See you in the bingo hall later!

We posted our new JackpotCity.com online bingo ad on youtube a few weeks ago and I thought some of you would like to see it. All of the cast work at the casino and had a great time away from the office. I know, because I was in it…

See the ad here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ydn0o6NgqxM?

Veteran ladies man and manager of Manchester City Football Club thinks’ his boys stand a chance with the two fat ladies according to the SUN Newspaper.

They are reporting that he is hosting bingo sessions on the eve of both home and away matches at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester where he is staying. A club source has apparently revealed that “he’s (Sven) been hooked on it (get your mind out of the gutter, he means bingo) most his life” and “it’s a great way for the lads to bond and unwind”.

Well this blogger thinks it’s a great idea, so why don’t you boy’s come and join us at JackpotCity.com online bingo? And yes, that is an official invitation to you all!  

PS: Rumour has it that football greats Ronaldo and Gazza are crazy about bingo too!
