The Internet Bingo Guaranteed Jackpot
A long time ago in the magical land of playing internet bingo the only prize that we knew could win us the big bingo money was the progressive jackpot prize. Actually it wasn’t that long ago, technology has moved fast, but let’s make believe nonetheless. Problem was, there was no pre-buy feature, and you never knew how much the prize money was going to be anyway. I mean imagine having a pre-buy feature with a PJP? The prize may have been won and there is only five bob in the kitty and you have spent £72 on a maximum buy in?
Hence the reason why the wise kings of bingo saw the need for the guaranteed jackpot prize and the pre-buy feature, to keep their subjects happy and avert an uprising or worse still, migration to another online bingo site!
Since the days of the old fashioned PJP (although we do still get these) the innovation of the guaranteed prize pot has been put in place. This means we know exactly what is in the pot when we play, so we are happy to pre-purchase tickets. The pre-purchase of these tickets ensures that the prize is funded by ticket sales, and the bingo site usually also seeds this prize to a certain percentage, but this is back office stuff.
Because of the popularity of the pre-buy feature and the guaranteed jackpot and the fact that it works so well, it is now possible to host special games for as little as 1p or 2p and still offer thousands of pounds in prizes. Do you get the picture, the game is advertised as being a £1 000 prize, loyal subject rush to buy tickets beforehand and the jackpot prize is funded.
These games are now a daily event at most UK internet bingo sites, they can be offered in both 75 and 90-ball games, although their frequency does dictate that they are mostly 90 ball games. But the loyal subjects and the kings of online bingo are both kept smiling and it looks to me like they are going to live happily ever after.
