Mecca Bingo

In the 1960’s a man named Eric Morley arrived in the UK with a plan. He had a great new game and he wanted to share it. Well Eric worked very hard at his task and before you know it, Mecca was a household name in the UK and Bingo was a smashing success. Now Mecca has grown in the years since to become a part of the Rank Group and operate some 120 halls throughout the UK. If this isn’t impressive enough they have over 3 million members on their rolls. In the world of Bingo this is where every player wants to be and who everyone else has to measure up against.

Now Mecca is taking their game global with the World Wide Web. The decided to be kind and give everyone else a head start by keeping their site under wraps until 2005. Now they are ready and waiting for you to come join the fun, and we simply can’t resist the temptation.

One temptation we find is always easy to pass by is a site with a less than stellar reputation. Security has to be a top priority and that fact is simply non-negotiable. Mecca feels the same way. They offer their players the full benefit of their over eighty years first hand experience in the business. The also know a thing or two about presentation. Mecca Bingo is vibrant and exciting in a way that just draws you right in. The site manages a nice balance between fun and function that won’t leave you spending your time searching for links rather than playing your games.

Before you can make you way into an actual room, you are going to have some choices to make. You will find that the Bingo area inside Mecca Bingo is literally brimming with options; some of them are useful, while others are simply fluff. What we mean by this is the collection of offers running down the left side of your screen. Do your best to pass these little morsels right on by. They may look rather tempting but they won’t get you any closer to the games. No, the one you’re after is the Multi-Ball games staring at you from front and center. Be strong, and stay your course, and don’t forget it will lead you to your goal.

As long as you don’t find yourself falling down a rabbit hole, now is the time to join up. It’s the only hurdle left between you and the game we all love. New players are in for a treat as these are some really nice games guaranteed to be totally different form anything else out there. Why, you ask? Because Mecca uses non-downloading custom software for its halls so no one else has access to what they have. While non-downloading can never offer the level of details and options of a downloading platform this is still a very nice package. Mecca offers several gaming options and you will want to try your hand at each and everyone. Luckily they keep their players in mind here and have set up freeplay on many of the choices. This way you can find your favorite before you invest any of your own money. Overall the site promises a great time complete with big jackpots and chats just brimming with fun and interesting people.

Now, we are about to tell you about a problem here, but it is our hope that it will no longer be an issue by the time you read this review. Mecca states in its on-site literature that their games can be run on a Mac system. This was exciting news as this ever growing group is often overlooked. We however could not make the system work no matter how hard or how many different ways we tried. Customer support was awesome, and they stuck with us to the end, but to no avail. Mecca acknowledges this issue and they are working to do something about it. So hopefully the next time we stop by things will be different. And you know we will be checking.

As we may have mentioned earlier, there is a new player welcome bonus offered by Mecca to their first time users. When a player joins the site and makes their first deposit, Mecca will match them up to $10. Not a huge amount we realize, but better than nothing. We hope that in the future this will turn into a richer area for players to take advantage of, but for right now we have to admit that it’s not the worst that’s out there.

Mecca has been around for a long time. The benefit to that fact is that they have used that time to build on their core strength of delivering one great game of Bingo. The site may not have all the bells and whistles you are treated to at some of its rivals, but it still turns in a strong overall performance. And nothing beats playing with a name you really can trust. If you enjoy the history of the company and have found joy in the games they offer, then make sure you make the time to meet the newest addition to the family. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
