Butlers Bingo Review

 

New players only. Wagering requirements apply. See website for full T&C

Butlers Bingo is one of the many sites that make up the Microgaming Network, and as the name suggests, they are fronted by a suave and sophisticated butler who greets you with a silver platter full of money! First impressions are promising with a nice purple colour scheme that is sure to appeal to both male and female players alike. At the top of the page next to the logo you will see a progressive jackpot, and this keeps on increasing until it is finally won. In the past this has grown to life changing proportions and at the time of this review it sits at nearly £4 million.

Just underneath this you will find a golden menu bar that links to all of the important areas of the site including bingo, casino and slots to name but a few. The rest of the homepage at Butlers Bingo is made up of a selection of banners that they use to advertise their latest promotions, special offers and games, with links that allow you to access them with one mouse click. If you take a look at the scrolling images of some of their previous winners, you will see that they regularly give away large sums of money, so they are definitely working hard to entice you inside!

Registering for Butlers Bingo is easy enough and you don’t even have to add any credit card details until you are ready to make a deposit. Once you have entered your basic details you will be taken to the lobby. If you decide you want to play for real, and enter your financial information, you will pick up a large first deposit bonus followed by reload bonuses on all future deposits.

Butlers Bingo is powered by the Microgaming software and is home to 75 and 90 ball bingo, plus a large number of slots, casino games, scratch cards, instant games and multiplayer slots. There are just four bingo rooms to choose from but this is no bad thing as it means you find yourself competing against more players for larger prize pots. Click on the tab for the game you want and you will see the rooms that are open, along with all of the normal information such as card price. In addition to this though, you will also see the rooms progressive jackpot, and these are where the serious money can be won.

When you enter any of Butlers Bingo’s rooms for the first time, you certainly feel special, with a little welcome message calling you sir, sitting alongside gold stars that show you your loyalty level. To the left of the screen is a chat room and just below this you will find a selection of mini games which luckily open up in a new window so they don’t spoil your bingo fun. The right hand side of the screen is where you will find your bingo cards, and the software includes plenty of built in options such as dauber shapes and colours so you can personalise your gaming experience.

When it comes to promotions, Butlers Bingo is let down by the network. With the exception of the guaranteed jackpots, there is really not a lot going on. Their daily and weekly promotions put the emphasis on rewarding as many players as possible with small amounts of bonus money, which is commendable in a way, but also a tad boring. Butlers Bingo can also be accessed via a mobile phone or tablet, but you would not know this unless you asked, because it is not advertised anywhere on the site. This is something they really need to sort out as they are potentially missing out on a lot of new players.

On their homepage, Butlers Bingo state “Butler brings you the best site for playing bingo online and Casino Games. Regardless of whether you are a bingo newbie, an expert chat game player, or a slots game specialist” and to a degree they are correct, but unfortunately their lack of promotions really let them down. Being part of a network limits them and you can find the same deals on numerous other sites out there.

Butlers Bingo Review – Bingo Games

Game Options at Butlers Bingo

Butlers Bingo is powered by the Microgaming bingo software and is home to 75 and 90 ball bingo as well as a large range of slots, casino games, scratch cards, instant games and multiplayers slots, where you can compete against other players for the changce to win bigger cash prizes. The nice thing about these games, is that you also have the ability to chat to the people you are playing against, so you do not lose the community side of the game.

Enter any of the bingo rooms and you are sure to get a warm welcome from the CM on duty. To the left of the screen is a small chat room and just below this is a selection of mini games. These games open up in a seperate window so don’t interfere with your bingo game or chat at all. The software includes basic controls over the games sounds and the size of your font as well as a small selection of dauber shapes and colours to make things a bit more interesting.

Promotions

The Microgaming network is not the best for promotions really, and Butlers Bingo offers nothing more then any of their other brands. The weekly promotions are always changing, but to be honest they are never going to set the pulses racing. These tend to reward a lot of players with small amounts of bonus money instead of going for the really big prizes that people like to win. This is not necessarily a bad thing as more players get to share the pot, but it’s just not very exciting.

Butlers Bingo focus the majority of their monthly promotion on big money games, so you always have a good chance of winning a guaranteed jackpot or two. The Butlers Big £10,000 game takes place on the last Saturday of every month, and for every six card you purchase they give you another six absolutely free. They occasionally add monthly specials to their line-up too, and these always tend to be based around bigger jackpots.

Jackpots

Butlers Bingo has a great range of daily promotions, but the highlight of these is their daily Linked Games, which can be played in most of their bingo rooms. The Linked Games are the ones with the biggest daily prizes, and to find them, simply click on the ‘Advanced Buy’ button in the bingo rooms, and check out the ‘Featured Games’ section. The great thing is, the card for these games starts at just a penny each, so everyone can afford to join in the fun.

Butlers Bingo’s biggest progressive jackpot starts off at a whopping £5,000 and continually increases until it is finally won. This jackpot can be won if you call in thirty ball or less, but as the days go on, the Butler increases this number by one, making it easier and easier to win. In addition to this, you will find plenty of guaranteed cash jackpots of £50, £100, £500 and even £1,000 just waiting to be won.
