    
For: Good chat moderators, Great Slots, wide choice of games, Million Pound game, lots of jackpots to be won
Against: a little bit quieter than other sites, because of the multiple halls.
The online bingo site Bingos.co.uk has been around for over a year now, and this bingo website was the first one to use the 90 number Parlay bingo software to play their games, as well as 75 number USA style bingo cards. The bingo software has a far more sophisticated feel to it than older types, and is also used by the Chitchat and Virgin Bingo websites as well.Also, from June 2006, the million pound jackpot bingo game has made a welcome comeback! Reality TV diva Kerry Katona was the figurehead of the site for a while, but she seems to have left now.
Upon entering the site, you can play free bingo games before you sign up, which lets you master the games before you decide to play bingo for cash. Unlike Jackpotjoy's free bingo games, there are no prizes to be won by playing bingo this way, but it is a good way to get yourself accustomed to the binog software. Signing up to the bingo site is a little complicated as some of the forms are a bit strangely worded, but once you have joined, you will have the oppurtunity to play bingo in a choice of five different bingo halls, as well as various online slots and fruit machines. American bingo is offered in 25p per card games, whilst 90 ball bingo games are offered in four different combinations - 10p bingo games, 25p bingo games and 50p bingo games. Other online bingo halls vary their ticket prices almost at random, but they stick to one bingo ticket price in each hall, which helps you if want to save money by playing only the cheaper bingo. Each different room is well frequented, although they're not as busy as some other bingo websites.
This gives the bingo site more an ambience of a smaller bingo hall - you may not have the chance to win a huge amount of money in their standard halls, but you have a better chance of winning something! All their 90 number games have a jackpot, and several months ago one lucky winner in the 25p bingo hall won an enormous bingo jackpot of £30,000 - almost every bingo game is a bonus bingo game at Bingos.co.uk!
Bingos is also well known for its fine choice of online fruit machine games. There are lots of different ones on offer, both 3 line and five line slots, and some, like our favourite, the three line Diamond Suprise, offers a maximum prize of 5,000 times your stake! Fruit machines at Bingos can be played for as little as five pence a spin, and many of the games can be played in practice mode as well, if you don't want to spend any cash.
Bingos offered a one million pound bingo game last year, which didn't run for long, but has now made a comeback! This time, tickets for the £1,000,000 online bingo game cost just 50p - half price from what they were before. To win a million quid, you must get the full house in 35 numbers or less - the same as Gala's Cash climber game, but a guaranteed prize of at least four times as much! It's exciting stuff... The games take place every Sunday between 8.00 PM and 11.00 PM, by the way.
This site has recently updated their bingo software, and the new look is far more sleek, and features an integrated chatroom - it doesn't appear in a popup window any more. The space allocated for both your bingo books and the chatroom are generous too. We also like the slider that you use to selct your bingo cards. The only complaint we have is that the subtle colours of the page can make information like the prize money and number of players hard to find, until you're used to the site.
The chatrooms are also very good, hosted by enthusiastic and generous moderators (always willing to give out bonuses)!
Bingos.co.uk used to have Kerry Katona calling on the 90 ball bingo games, but to be honest she wasn't the best of bingo callers - we found that she grated after a very short while. But now she has left the website she has been replaced by an anonymous female bingo caller who is far nicer to listen to. What a relief!
The site offers a variety of bonuses. As well as matching your first deposit up to the sum of £140, each time that you deposit you will receive 'bingo bucks' - credits to play with. Use the bingo site enough, and you can get 125% of what you deposit as a credit on top so you can play free bingo games! Plus the Bingo bucks flow in the chatrooms too, thanks to the most generous moderators on the internet.
