Industry powerhouse William Hill is a British business founded in 1934. In addition to being one of the largest bookmakers in the United Kingdom, William Hill has a strong online presence that includes sportsbooks, casinos, and numerous poker rooms. In light of the company’s long and illustrious history, bingo players will be expecting big things from William Hill Bingo. We are happy to report that they will not be disappointed.
The first aspect that jumped out at us was that there was no software to download or install and no tricky settings to configure. William Hill Bingo plays seamlessly in your browser. We were up and running in seconds without little participation from us. The system even logged us in automatically since we already had an account from their other sites. However, if you’ve never played at one of the William Hill family of sites before, you’ll need to register first. The registration process is standard and straightforward.
The primary bingo game played here is 90-ball bingo. William Hill awards prizes to the first player to make a line, two lines and full house. There are numerous guaranteed prize games and the guaranteed prizes are as large as £500. Bingo tickets range from 5p to 50p. On top of all the regular prizes, there are two progressive jackpots available to all players. The Cash Rocket jackpot pays out each time a player achieves a full house in no more than 38 balls. This is relatively easy to win so the jackpots stay low. At the time of this review, the Cash Rocket ranged between £2,000-3,000. William Hill awards the Money Mountain progressive jackpot each time a player achieves a full house in no more than 33 balls. This jackpot hovered in the £35,000-40,000 range.
The interface uses a blue color scheme. It remains uncluttered and gets right to the point. Some people might find this boring but we think that most hardcore bingo players are going to appreciate this matter-of-factness. The interface reserves the right side of the screen for pertinent game items, such as cards. All of your account information, including balance, is displayed in a succinct manner up top. The left hand side of the screen is used for the chat interface. Numbers are called out clearly but if you prefer you can mute the sound and just rely on the text output.
The chat interface is the crown jewel of this system and we think that most players are really going to enjoy the experience and camaraderie it provides. The moderators are friendly and do a great job. They even keep the conversation moving at a brisk pace and prevent lulls from killing it. They even play chat-based games that result in real cash prizes. William Hill also provides a diverse array of slot machines that players can use while chatting and playing bingo.
William Hill also provides top-level customer service, integrity, and data security. They also offer diverse deposit options so that nobody should have any trouble finding one that suits them. The cherry on top is all of the promotions that they run, many of which change monthly to keep things fresh. One of the most popular is Bingo Linx, which is a Sunday-only 50p ticket that enters you for a chance to win £10,000.
