Butlins Bingo
Summer, it brings to mind so many wonderful memories of times gone by. And it seems as though no matter who you talk to one name just keeps popping up, Butlins. It’s a name that brings to mind holiday camps and ocean fun. The name Butlins is a name that simply means joy, and for some of us Bingo. Now, while most of us don’t think about Butlins and Bingo in the same thought, we believe all that is about to change. You see Bingo is a big draw at the Butlins resorts, and the customer wants more. Ever one to want to please, Butlins has taken their Bingo big time, into the world of the online Bingo halls.
Since 1936 Butlins has grown into one of the most recognized recreational companies in the U.K. They pride themselves on catering to their customers’ every whim and desire. Their founder, Billy Butlin, would have it no other way. His oath was, “our true intent is all for your delight.” Now doesn’t that sound decadent. The new online hall has some pretty big shoes to fill that’s for sure!
We want our first experience with a site to be fun and exciting, not grey and boring. Butlins Bingo heard our call and delivered on all fronts. Their site is fresh and bright, with vivid graphics that just grab your attention. Just looking at it is fun. On top of that we love the fact that it is so easy to operate. We would say it’s so easy a child could do it, but kids are better with computers than we are anyways.
When a player comes online to play with and for real money, there are a few things they expect to find; security and service. Butlins knows a thing or two about customer service, but it looks like they are getting some top notch help on the security side of things. You see Butlins Bingo has found a partner in St. Minver, and we all know that online Bingo is their specialty. St. Minver can offer players the security they need along with the fun they crave. Their online network is by far the largest in the business.
Now one thing about playing Bingo is it is a game that is absolutely no fun to play by yourself. So if you sign on to a game and simply hear the crickets chirping, this is a site you probably will not be visiting again. At Butlins Bingo this is not a problem you will ever run into. Back to that great network brought into play by St. Minver. Having all those people online means that you will always be able to find a great game of 90-ball Bingo at any time day or night. The low ticket prices, starting at only 10p, and the high energy chat rooms go hand in hand to assure that there will never be a dull moment. Another nice perk here is that all those wonderful games are offered to players using the Macromedia Flash software package. This software is great in that it is available for just about any computer system, making the site accessible to a very broad spectrum of players. The site also offers players a very lovely selection of non-Bingo fun. Over in Butlins’ Game Arcade, players will find a sampling of slots and other instant win games to introduce them to a new kind of online fun. And don’t ever forget about those progressive jackpots. When you are playing in a network that large, it will be reflected in the size of the jackpots. Not a fact you ever want to forget.
For the most part in this industry, we have found that online halls will offer players some kind of promotion system. Butlins Bingo is no different in this aspect. New players receive a $1 “Welcome Bonus” just for signing up to the site. Not a huge number, but enough for them to play up to 10 games of free Bingo. Then when they decide that they want to stay for awhile, their first deposit into their own account will be matched 100% up $125.
While Butlins Bingo’s partnership with St. Minver brings so many wonderful things to your playing table, it does also offer a few drawbacks. The largest of which is the fact that the games you find here, you can find many other places as well. You are entering a site that is part of the St. Minver network; this means that you will have access to the games they are offering to everyone. While some players might find comfort in a familiar set-up, others may be looking for something new and different. The customer service model is another factor that is owned by St. Minver. This is one thing that we don’t think anyone should have a problem with as what they offer is the best out there. But don’t think that you will find all St. Minver and nothing of Butlins here. Butlins does a great job of letting their own great style shine through. We love the example of being able to watch the little beanpole dancer, “play with Barry’s Balls.”
Now, we have to ask ourselves a very important question; do we tell you to play at Butlins Bingo? And after careful consideration, the answer is, yes we do. So what if they offer the same games as the other sites in the St. Minver network. St. Minver knows how to play one awesome game of 90-ball Bingo. Isn’t that what we’re all after in the end? Also Butlins has really gone above and beyond by setting aside space for the Everyman cancer charity. A move we completely applaud.
