A Beginner’s Guide to Playing Video Bingo

If you have not yet played video bingo and you are wondering how to get started, then you are in the right place. In this guide to video bingo, we give you a step-by-step demonstration of the game and a strategy that may help you get off to a winning start.

How to Play Video Bingo

Essentially, video bingo is incredibly similar to the bingo games you play in a club. However, you will not be competing with other players and rather than drawing balls from a drum, the numbers are drawn by a Random Number Generator (RNG). Just as with regular bingo, the aim of the game is to complete various patterns on your bingo cards.

You are probably aware that there are several forms of bingo. The same is true of video bingo. Examples of video bingo variants include 90-ball, 75-ball, 60-ball and 30-ball games. For each one of these games, the rules, features and payouts may vary.

As with any form of gambling, it is important to research the games before playing. One of the best ways of doing this is by playing a free play version of the game before deciding to play with real money or not. It is possible to play demo versions of our video bingo games right here at Galera.bet. Once you have found a game that you enjoy playing, you can then switch to real money play to give yourself a chance of winning.

A Step-by-Step Guide to a Video Bingo Round

While video bingo is a truly simple game, it is worth taking the time to dive into the specifics.

Choose a Video Bingo Game

First of all, you must find a video bingo game that appeals. We have a large collection of games and it is continually growing. Take a look at how many balls are used, the bonus features, theme, and so on, to find one that appeals.

Place your Bet

Once you have found a video bingo title that you want to play, you must set your stake before you start a round. In some games you will simply be asked to set a total bet; however, most games will ask you to set a bet per card and the potential winnings will be a multiple of this bet.

Press Play

After placing your bet, the next step is to click on the ‘Play’ button, which starts the draw.

The Numbers are Drawn

Once the game begins, the numbers are drawn from a pool of numbered balls. The balls that are drawn are determined by an RNG. As the numbers are drawn, if any match the numbers on your card, then they will be automatically marked off.

Look for Combinations on Your Cards

When playing in a bingo club, you have to focus to ensure you don’t miss any numbers. In video bingo, it is all done automatically. However, you can still keep an eye on your cards to see if you are getting close to completing a winning pattern.

Win Prizes

If you are fortunate enough to complete one of the winning patterns, then the payout will be awarded. In general, the more numbers involved in a pattern the larger the payout will be. The number of winning patterns will depend on the game that you are playing.

The Different Types of Video Bingo Games

Just as there are different forms of bingo at a bingo hall, there are different variants of video bingo. As mentioned previously, video bingo variants vary from 30-ball to 90-ball games. The 30-ball video bingo games are known as ‘speed bingo’ as they take far less time than games such as 90-ball bingo.

One of the most appealing things about video bingo games is that they come with many different themes. The various video bingo themes at Galera include Mexico, history, nature, animals, food and many more.

The themes are usually brought to life through animations, graphics and sound effects. Furthermore, in addition to the thrilling presentation of these games, many video bingo games offer a number of special features. You will come across bonus rounds, mini games, special wild numbers and even jackpots. Be sure to keep an eye out for these when you choose which video bingo game to play.

It is advised to always play with the maximum number of cards. In many games, the bonus features only become available if you are playing with the maximum cards. Therefore, it is worth reducing your bet per card in order to purchase as many cards as possible.

Proper Bankroll Management Means More Fun

Video bingo is a game of pure luck. Nothing you do will change the numbers that are drawn. Therefore, the only way you can increase your chance of winning is by playing more games. This means that you need to manage your bankroll properly to ensure that you can play the maximum number of games. Here are a few tips to help you manage your bankroll:

Step 1: Set a Budget

The first step into bankroll management is to set a budget of money that you can afford to lose. If you set a budget and stick to it, you will avoid chasing losses and potentially losing more than you can afford to.

Step 2: Divide your Bankroll

Before starting a video bingo session, you should give some thought to have many games you want to play. Then you can simply divide your bankroll by that number of games to see how much you can afford to bet per game. If you find yourself on a winning streak, you can always increase your bet per game. However, it may be better to set aside your winnings for future gaming sessions.

Step 3: Use Bonuses and Promotions

Keep an eye on all the bonuses and promotions we offer here at Galera.bet. These can help you extend your bankroll, which will mean you can play more games and have more chances of winning.

Simple Gaming – Massive Excitement

There is nothing complicated about video bingo, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks in excitement. You can’t help but be drawn into the action as the numbers are drawn and patterns are marked on your card. If you don’t believe us, just pick one of the many video bingo games we have on offer and you’ll soon discover just how thrilling it is.
