While online bingo is great, there are many more games to try at online bingo sites. In addition to all the various bingo varieties, you can also find slot machines, progressives, casino table games and video poker games. These other options can add some extra fun to your gaming session, while offering more ways to win money!

Read on to explore some of the other exciting games to look out for at bingo sites.  

Slot Machines

After bingo, the most popular type of game at online bingo sites is the slot machine. Slots work very differently to bingo games, and offer loads of interesting ways to win. You will find slot games to suit all tastes with many different styles, from cartoon slots and adventure themes, to superhero themes and TV and movie-inspired slots.

Where to find slots

The slots will be kept in a separate section of the site to the bingo games and you should be able to find them from the main menu. Sometimes you can also play certain slots as ‘embedded’ games, which means they can be played at the same time as your bingo game, alongside it.

Slot features

Slots can be simple 3 reel games or add more complexity with multiple reels and increased paylines. They also have bonus games, free spins rounds and other features that add to the flashiness and entertainment of play.

Slot games

The slot games on offer at bingo sites will differ depending on the software used. For example, many bingo sites offer the popular slot Fluffy Favourites, developed by slot provider Eyecon. This game features cartoon animal characters on the reels, and has proven to be very popular with players.

Other popular slots you can find at bingo sites include: Irish Luck, Sugar Train, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Dark Knight, Thunderstruck, Cleopatra, Foxin Wins, Beach Life, The Incredible Hulk and Deal or No Deal.

Progressives

In addition to progressive jackpots in bingo games, you can also find progressive jackpots in slot machines. These prize pots tend to be bigger, although it varies from game to game. Some standard slots have their own alternative jackpot version, while other slots are specifically designed and built around a progressive jackpot.  

Progressive slot games

Some of the most famous progressive slot games often found at online bingo sites include: Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune, King Cashalot, Gold Rally, The Dark Knight, Fluffy Favourites Progressive, Major Millions and Gladiator Progressive. These are great games to choose if you want the chance to win life-changing sums, as some of the jackpots can reach over a million pounds!

Scratch Cards

For an alternative to slot games, you could try scratch cards. These games are a little hard to come by, but they’re fairly fast-paced and simple to play, offering players instant wins.

How scratch cards work

They work in a similar way to real life scratch cards - you buy the card and click to scratch off each panel individually. You can also press ‘reveal all’ on some games to reveal the hidden symbols and pocket any wins. Each panel on the scratch card hides a cash prize with varying amounts available to win depending on the number of matches you get on your card.

Scratch and win

Scratch games tend to be a simpler pleasure than slot games as they don’t have any bonus games and other rounds to worry about – simply scratch and win!

Casino Table Games

Although bingo sites are mostly focused on the bingo games and slot games, you will also often find some casino table games. The most popular casino games are Roulette and Blackjack and playing these games gives you a taste of the casino gaming floor! You will see the layout of the game with chips to click and all the usual bets available.

Roulette

In Roulette, there are various betting positions, each with differing odds. The roulette ball spins and lands in a number of the wheel – if the number is covered by your bet, you win.

Blackjack

Blackjack is a good option if you want to have more control over the outcome of the game. The aim of this card game is to beat the dealer’s hand without going over 21. There is a blackjack strategy you can use to know when to take another card, stand, double or split depending on what card the dealer has. This increases your chances of winning substantially. Blackjack is a highly popular casino option and a great choice if you’re looking for a quieter game.

Other casino games

It is rare to find other casino table game options at online bingo sites but you could find Baccarat (a luck-based card game and a favourite of James Bond), Keno (a lottery-style game) or Casino Texas Hold ‘Em (based on the world-famous poker game).

Video poker games

Video poker is another exciting option that you can sometimes find at online bingo sites. These games might be hidden in the casino section or the slots section. Video poker is a great combination of luck and skill and combines the fun of slot games with the strategy of poker.

Popular video poker games

The most popular video poker games you are likely to find at bingo sites are Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. Jacks or Better gives a payout for every hand consisting of a pair of Jacks or higher, while Deuces Wild rules allow all deuces to count as wild cards – much like those useful wild symbols in slot games.

Conclusion

So when you head to your favourite bingo site, don’t forget to have a browse around the menus and discover what other games are hiding on the site. You might be pleasantly surprised to find a whole host of other games to enjoy. They can provide an interesting alternative to bingo games and act as welcome change of pace, giving you a new style of gaming to learn and enjoy.

They also give a great alternative way of winning money – cash that can be spent on buying tickets to the next big bingo game!
