Gala Bingo
May we have your attention please! Ladies and gentlemen, Gala Bingo is back in the building. Well, not a specific building, but any building which is the point of this review. In the UK you can’t go anywhere on the Bingo circuit without hearing the name Gala. This is due to their monster reach of 166 brick and mortar clubs that the young and young at heart call their Bingo home. Now Gala is taking their game to the world by opening their brand of Bingo on the web.
Don’t for a second think that they are going into this blindly. There were baby steps in place before they took the big plunge. Gala used their previous online partnership with St. Minver as a learning platform for the new site. This way they had the chance to learn the ropes a bit before they stuck their necks out all alone. With the partnership a thing of the past, Gala’s dynamic move will definitely be one to watch, especially by the competition.
Any newbie to the world of online Bingo bliss may find themselves a bit nervous about all the sensitive information required for cash play. Well put your minds at ease. Gala’s security is enough to clam even the most nervous nelly. You can play with confidence that they will take care of you.
We always want to enjoy the look of a new site, and Gala is no exception. They did a wonderful job on design, keeping things fun and cheerful. You always want that first impression to leave you smiling. Well, this hall gets full marks! Just looking at this site is so much fun that we can’t wait to try the games.
And the nice thing is that you won’t have to wait long! The navigation here is crystal clear, leaving everything open and easy to find. Since the site runs on Flash, most players will find that they have nothing to download. All they need to do to play is follow the link titled, “Play Online Now,” and get started. It really is that simple. And added bonus here for Gala is that by switching to Flash they opened their site to many more players. Flash is available for Mac users who were previously blocked from the old site.
With the doors opened for all, the first thing you need to do is join up. The steps are clear, and easy to follow so just go ahead and knock it out now. This way as you tour around the site you can see everything it has to offer. Those spending time as a guests will not be allowed to participate in any game, nor will they be able to view any chat action. In the world of Gala only the players get the perks. And speaking of perks, we seem to be missing a very key one. At the old home of Gala Bingo new players always received a welcome bonus which seems to have gone the way of St. Minver. Promotions on this site are light enough without skimping here. This is a definite black mark on their record.
Well welcome bonus or no welcome bonus you can still find what you are looking for at Gala Bingo. This hall has done their homework and knows how to deliver on a fantastic game. Enter these doors and find yourself smack in the middle of round-the-clock Bingo mania. With never a dull moment to be had in some of the craziest chat rooms we have ever seen, boredom is something you won’t be fighting here. The CM’s keep those rooms hopping and we were just amazed that some of them were full even for the early morning sessions. Players can enjoy their Bingo on a fully customizable console that streamlines the whole process into one single page. If you want to try something different, don’t forget about Gala’s offering of casino games and instant wins. These fun little monsters offer their own type of entertainment, and can be a nice change every once in a while.
When we say that the site is light on promotions, what we should really say is that they don’t have any. Yeah, you heard us right; Gala Bingo does not have any promotions for either new or veteran players. Upon touring the hall we did come across plans for some sweet non-cash morsels, like Minis for example, but zero for the cash incentive. Gala may feel that their Bingo can take care of its self, but we sorely feel the lack in this area.
Well friends we have come to the point where we have a decision to make. Do we steer you towards the road to Gala Bingo, or mark the way with Caution flags? What really matters here is the game, and Gala delivers solidly on that front. As a company we believe that they will catch up in the promotions area, mostly due to player demand. So if you find your self searching for a new Bingo home, spend a few nights here and take in the sights. You might just be happy you did.
