Jackpotjoy Bingo has always been a jackpot busting site with all the progressive jackpots they have up for grabs and we are talking about huge cash prize pots even on their normal bingo games and not just slots.
Well they have surpassed even themselves this time, as their players had a bumper winning streak totalling a stupendous £10,509,964 in just one day!
This broke all their previous daily win records, making last Thursday 19/01/2012 a record breaking day for Jackpotoy Bingo.
They have listed some key facts about their record breaking day, which make for interesting reading.
To put that figure (£10,509,964) into some kind of perspective it amounts to £121 being given away every second, or £7,298 per minute. So they’d award close to £10,000 in the time it takes to boil a kettle. Or £21,000 in the time it takes to boil an egg!
Jackpotjoy Bingo would have given away over £600,000 during an average football match, or an astonishing £5,000,000 in the time it takes to watch all three Lord of the Rings films and there is more.
If you took all those £1 coins and made them into a pile it would be an incredible 33km high – that’s 4 times the height of Mount Everest!
Another way to look at it is that if someone paid you £1 per step, you’d have to walk all the way from London across the channel, through France, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and then into the Middle East. You’d pass through Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and into India to the gates of Delhi itself... and they gave it all away on one magic day in January! Wow now that would take some doing.
The progressive jackpot on their fun bejewelled bingo game (yes bingo, not slots) has just reached the whopping £297,000 mark and as we know with PJ’s, they continue to grow and grown until they are won. To win the progressive jackpot on bejewelled bingo you need to call a full house in 38 numbers of less – no mean feat, but definitely possible.
The progressive jackpot in their diamond 90 ball room is not looking to bad either, as this one was sitting at over £65,000 when we reviewed their site. And these are just two out of many PJ’s you could play for.
A massive £15,000 guaranteed jackpot will be coming out to play at Foxy Bingo on Tuesday 31st Jan and what is super about this game is you could will all that cash effectively for free, by winning free cards.
How, you may ask? Well it is quite simple really. Every single week Foxy run a casino promotion, and this week it is linked to their cuddly creatures slot game.
Take their cuddly creatures slot for at least 10 spins before Sunday 22nd Jan and you will grab 1 ticket for the Foxy Bingo £15,000 game which will be coming out to play in just over a week’s time now.
If you are into slots along with bingo, this is your chance to win a big bingo jackpot for free this month. You can of course log onto Foxy and simply purchase cards for the game yourself, or just stick with the 1 free card – as it only takes one ticket to win it and we have seen that happen before.
How would you like to grab a free tenner on Foxy? Their team are currently looking to speak to some real life players about their experience at their site. This will consist of a phone call with them which should last around 45 minutes.
They of course cannot talk to everyone, so only some players will get a phone call from them and get their hands on the free cash. You do need to apply by filling out a form on Foxy where you just have to answer some simply questions, such as what your username is, how long you have been a player, what games you mostly play, how often you play, what you think is great about foxy and what they could improve.
It is good to see a site take the time out to see exactly what their players think – this is what makes a top UK bingo site on the net, a place Foxy Bingo is already sitting at and they obviously want to stay there.
We just wish all sites would follow their lead in listening (really listening) to what real bingo players want.
Last night Jackpotjoy Bingo had a major problem with their site as it crashed completely with no warning.
Their players had reported a number of difficulties with the site prior to the crash with games not loading properly, continuously getting booted and not being able to purchase tickets to name just a few. Then all of a sudden they were gone - bang, their virtual wares were no more!
When you tired to log onto Jackpotjoy Bingo after the site had gone down, it came up with this message.
We will be back soon
To make sure we are always offering you the best gaming experience, we're constantly innovating which means sometimes we need to close the site. So whilst we are working away, why not enjoy a game of bejeweled on us.
Simply click on the (check now) button to refresh the page and find out when we are back online. We will see you soon.
When we clicked the check now button nothing at all happened, so they basically gave you no indication whatsoever as to when they would be back on - a fat lot of good that was, not.
The bejeweled game, which was free to play did help to pass the time away, but not much good if you wanted to play for real cash.
Cutting to the chase, they had technical difficulties with their site – no more, no less. A lot of online gaming sites do suffer from such technical hitches from time to time; it is part and parcel really of the industry, as you just never know when a server is going to play up which is out of everyone’s control.
Technical difficulties like this can be extremely annoying for players and to add insult to injury the Jackpotjoy Bingo hosts did not handle the situation very well when their site came back online and subsequently crashed again. We see players in chat swearing, making sexual innuendos, mentioning other sites and being downright rude – all of which is prohibited in chat rooms.
On a brighter note, JackpotJoy Bingo are up and running fully functional today, let's just hope they stay that way :).
