Bingo game on Itbox

Post by kingzilla »

I had a couple of games of that Bingo game from Nova the other night on an ITBOX, could someone explain how this is supposed to be a game of skill. The game looks as though it is one of the top games on this machine but cries out to me AWP.

The only skill involved is memorizing what balls you have so you can accept/reject balls without looking hence as quickly as possible. But of course if it doesnt want you to win you're pretty much screwed cos your balls wont come out.

This game is as fixed as they come. It starts to 'slow down' the distribution of the balls if you start to near the target. I also got the 5 stars once and thought 'Yay, £40!' and then realised I'd only won the 'chance' to play for £40...

...Arse!

I have been in pubs where the jackpot has been achieved by a member of staff , but the game is a total fix. Its total balls.

Played on this one in Gala Bingo a while back on a machine made purely for this game, as opposed to the SWP game. Being able to press an actual button for "accept" and "reject" rather than pressing an oft-unresponsive screen doesn't help your chances one bit. I had a flawless game, and even "accepted" a time-increase clock, but it didn't even give me the balls to complete a line, let alone the card.

Conclusion: shit game.
