Butlins Bingo
It seems as though all of our fondest memories can be traced back to a happy holiday, and in the UK that is often synonymous with Butlins. What is interesting is that in the past few years, Butlins has become quite the place for Bingo. In the real world Butlins resorts, their Bingo is bringing home some very nice crowds. Well Butlins has decided to test their luck in a new Bingo realm. They are taking Butlins Bingo virtual and we are going to be there when they do.
Butlins has been striving for greatness from the very beginning of their time. When they were founded by Billy Butlin back in 1936 he based the company on a simple pledge. It was Billy’s vow to his customers that at Butlins, “our true intent is all for your delight.” You see Billy understood one simple fact. When you are in the people business you have to please people, and that is just what Butlins has been doing ever since.
We kept this thought in the back of our minds as we first visited the Butlins site. Billy would be proud as the site is well designed and friendly on all counts. Butlins does their part to make that first impression every bit as good as it can possible be. They really do a nice job perfecting the overall look and feel of the hall until they have achieved just the right mix of fun and function. It is so perfectly presented that even a brand new player will find themselves whipping through the hall in no time at all.
We know that Butlins is very good at mottos, and it seems that they have a new one. Their stance in the modern world is to “Trust the Entertainment Experts.” They have taken this pledge to heart and are offering their new site in partnership with the great St. Minver. This should be quite the match as St. Minver knows Bingo and Butlins knows people. Between the two they should come up with something pretty spectacular.
If you’re not quite sure what it means to be a St. Minver partner then let us explain. St. Minver is in charge of quite possibly the largest network of 90-ball Bingo on the net. They operate all of their halls using and Instant Play format. Since this program is based off of the Macromedia Flash platform then almost any user system can access the fun. You will find low starting ticket prices of only 10p that allow you to stretch your fun for as long as you could possibly want. Also the large volume of players that St. Minver draws means that you are sure to find healthy totals on the jackpots and high traffic in the chat rooms. There comes a time when every player finds themselves in great need of a little Bingo break, and for those moments you can take advantage of the Butlins’ Game Arcade. This small little fun house works as a sort of bridge between the real world Butlins feel and the online Butlins world.
When it comes to promotions what you find at Butlins is pretty standard. There are some nice offers but nothing to really get excited about. For starters, when you first register for your account you are credited a $1 welcome bonus right off the bat. This may seem like a very small number but it will allow you up to 10 games of bingo absolutely free. Also you will receive a 100% match on your first cash deposit up to $125. Not a bad way to double your money and your fun.
So, we have let you in on all the good things about partnering with St. Minver but you know there has to be a downside. If there is one here it is that all halls on the St. Minver network are really just portals to the same exact Bingo. You see St. Minver runs the games in a central location and then players have access from where ever they call home. Even the customer support is exactly the same. This is not all bad as when you really think about it, all those people wouldn’t keep coming back for more if the Bingo was bad. This means that they want what St. Minver’s got. Butlins does their part to try and inject a bit of their own flair into the site and they do a nice job here. Other than that it is truly a St. Minver hall any way you look at it.
So now we have to decide if we should encourage you to go to Butlins for your Bingo fun. As a part of the St. Minver network they really do have quite a bit to offer. The games might not be completely unique to the Butlins’ hall but they are top shelf all the way. And you never have to worry about finding yourself alone in a room with the crickets chirping. With the huge volume of players ready and waiting on the St. Minver network there will always be someone up for a game. The icing on the virtual cake is really the fact that Butlins makes the space to devote a portion of their site to the Everyman Cancer Charity. How can that not be seen as a classy move?
