Bingo is a great online game to play, but every now and then you sometimes fancy a change. For this reason some UK bingo sites allow you to play what are known as side games such as slots and scratchcards. They allow you to play different games while still playing a game of bingo. As you can see with the image of Wink Bingo below (Wink Bingo Review) you are able to play on slot games (right hand side) while still in the middle of a game of bingo.
Side games are a great way to fill the gaps between games. Usually you have to wait a minute or two before the next game starts so players have time to purchase tickets, side games help kill the 2 minutes of just waiting around. What makes them even better is you can usually play in “free mode” which gives you a feel of the game before you play for real.
Unlike other games on bingo sites where you have to leave your bingo room, find the bingo lobby and then pick your game, side games allow you to play in the same window of you bingo game. You just find the tab listed “side games” or “games” and select you game. This is usually located on the right hand side of your bingo room. What makes them even better is you can still participate in the chat rooms at the same time.
The Advantages
- You are able to play bingo and side games at the same time
- You never have to leave the bingo room that you are in
- You have more chances to win more money
- They give you a change from playing bingo
The Disadvantages
- Playing bingo and side games at the same time will drain your money quicker
- If you have an old PC you may notice your PC being unresponsive if you have too much going on at the same time
Side games are not for every bingo player but they are defiantly worth a try just to find out. If you play side games such as slot then you can pick how much you wish to wager per spin which puts you in complete control of your money. If you are sensible you will be able to afford bingo and play side games without draining your money at an alarming rate.
