It seems that the offline bingo industry has received some good news… Well, good news for some at least.

The gaurdian.co.uk reports that bingo and casino company Rank Group is set to receive a £36, 3 million tax rebate from the UK’s VAT and Duties Tribunal. Unfortunately it will only be paid out after an appeal.

Now in my books (and most people’s for that matter) £36, 3 million is a GOOD thing and I’m pleased that at least some of the offline bingo halls have been given a bit of a break. It’s been a long, unpleasant slog for them since the change in the smoking laws.

Cheers for now

PS. Have a great bank holiday weekend!

I’m sure by now you’ve already heard about the software glitch in Foxy Bingo’s online game that netted a lucky player £50,000. Well, kudos to Foxy Bingo for honouring the win and paying the lucky winner! It’s good to see that there are other online bingo and casino operators like JackpotCity.com that put their players first.

Well done Foxy Bingo, you did the online casino and bingo industry proud with the way you handled this.

Cheers for now.

According to this article on the BBC news site, three sisters Linda Kenny, 53, Doreen Thomas, 57 and Edna Sexton, 59 are set to meet in court over an argument about a £50,000 bingo jackpot payout. Apparently Mrs Kenny and Mrs Thomas are suing Mrs Sexton for £16,666, plus interest, because they claim their sister reneged on an oral agreement they reached in 2005.

A £50,000 bingo bonus is a lot of money, but is it worth this? I have a brother who is an absolute killer at Blackjack, he loves to play in both online and offline casinos, and has won (and sometimes lost) a fortune. I’ve never expected to reap the benefit, even when I’ve been their when he won. If he ever did offer me money and later was not able to fulfil that promise I would never dream about taking him to court and in the same way he would not expect me to cover some of his costs if he lost… 

Now, as I’ve mentioned in my last post, gambling (be it casino, bingo or betting on a sport) is primarily for entertainment and the winnings, although wonderful, are an added bonus. Family is more important and I for one hope these sisters work it all out amicably. Life is too short people! Enjoy your winnings yes, but enjoy your family more.

Remember those things that I was supposed to post a while back when I kept on getting distracted? Well, I think that today is the day that I need to post them.

The short version of how this post came about goes a little like this: My boss asked me to tell him why I thought that JackpotCity.com online bingo was better than the other bingo sites out there, so here goes.
Why is Jackpotcity.com Online Bingo better?

• We give away up to £10 000 every day.

• We give away up to £300 000 every month.

• Our Abso-Blingo-Lutely jackpot is seeded (starts) at £10 000 and has been won twice at £22 000 and at £90 000 since we’ve launched (see - more jackpots more often!)
• Progressive Jackpots are linked into a large network increasing the jackpot amount very rapidly.
• We have our very own Hundreds and Thousands jackpot which can be won in 48 calls. (exclusive to JackpotCity.com Online Bingo and won 6 times in the last 4 weeks!)

Other reasons we think you like us

• Spiffy welcome bonus - all new roomies get £10 free once their first deposit is made
• Up close and personal with the Bingo Managers at lunch time every day

• Experienced chat hosts in the bingo hall every day

• Instant play where no download is required
• The games are inexpensive, running at an average of 25 pence a card
• Cards start at 0.05 pence per card (1p cards and free cards also coming soon!)
• Three jackpot winners this weekend alone (more jackpots more often)
• We are your ‘local’ bingo hall

He still hasn’t gotten back to me on whether or not these are good enough reasons, but i think that they are. What do you think? Drop a comment and let us know

I just so happened to browsing around on the Royal Mint website when i stumbled upon the brand new designs for British coins (ok not really - i found this somewhere else).

Regardless of my source, these are some very nifty designs and if we took coins at JackpotCity.com bingo, we’d defo take these any day Here’s what the mint had to say about them:

“The new designs have been chosen via an open competition which was widely publicised in the national media in August 2005 and attracted 4,000 entries. The winning designer is 26-year-old Matthew Dent, originally from Bangor who now lives and works in London as a graphic designer.

After exploring a number of different options, Dent finally developed the heraldic theme, taking the greatest heraldic device ever used on coinage - the Royal Arms.

…

The new designs will enter circulation gradually throughout the year. I The current coin designs will remain in circulation and as legal tender for the foreseeable future”
I can see my little cousins playing with coin puzzles for hours…

Thought you might find it interesting

Today I was going to write to you all about the plans we have for April, but something else much more fun made its way to my desk…The Hundreds and Thousands Jackpot has been won again! Just to prove that this is the place with more jackpots, more often, we’ve paid out the H&T jackpot 6 times in the last two weeks! But that’s not the really great part - the H&T has paid out three times to the same roomie! That’s right - twizzle99 has walked off with £750 in prize money, over and above her full house winnings!

The H&T is currently paying out £250 per win, but this is limited to he first ten roomies who win! We’re 6 down, so there are only 4 more ber bonuses to win! Once all 10 bonuses have been won, the Hundred nd Thousands will revert to its normal £100 payout (which still isn’t bad if you ask me!) Don’t fret tho - we’ve got plenty of tricks up our leeves, all of which will be revealed in the next few weeks.  For your shot at the bonus, join us in the bingo hall today at lunchime (1pm) and you could also double your winnings as TheBingoManager and TheCityBingoGuy go crazy with giveaways!

See you there,

P.S.S - As I was writing this, there were only 5 winners, but xluckymummyxx won the prize at 12:54, so i had to go up and change my igures before I sent this

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
