Holy Quesadillas Batman!

They say that variety is the spice of life, so on 21st July we’re going to put Fair & Square into the store cupboard for a while and give you a hot new room to play with – the Twisted Taco.

With 2-part 90-ball games at 50 pence per card, the Twisted Taco is not going to be to everyone’s taste, but we hope that you will like the higher prizes this will bring.

There’ll also be some fixed-price fixed-pot games and we’re going to set the progressive jackpot at a level that even Speedy Gonzales would struggle to keep up with – just 48 calls. And, we’ll be transferring the progressive from Fair & Square into the Twisted Taco, giving you a starting jackpot of over £1460!

The Twisted Taco will be served up, fresh, hot and spicy, between 6pm and 10pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in place of Fair and Square. Our champion fajita-filling games masters – GM José and GM Chiquita – have some great chat games lined up including Fajita Flip, Twice as Spicy, Kickin Mules and Tacos and Tortillas.

If you want to know why it’s called the Twisted Taco, you’ll need to grab your sombreros and mosey on down on 21st July.

We know that a number of you are experiencing problems with chat freezing, tickets not showing and getting booted and we’ve been looking into it. Our techs and the techs at Parlay (who provide the software) have given the site the thumbs up, from a technical point of view.

So, we’ve been chatting with our counterparts on other sites and they tell us that some of their players are experiencing difficulties too. The collected wisdom of our best technical staff, the techs at Parlay and reports from other sites resulted in the following info which I hope will help a lot of you out.

  • AOL has been experiencing a fair amount of problems, as have other ADSL providers. If you have ADSL broadband (you use filters on your line for your phones and don’t have a cable connection) then please get in touch with your ISP. We know that AOL, for example, are giving free time to people having these problems.
  • Flash Player has recently been updated. If you don’t have the latest version, try downloading it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and see if that improves things for you. A number of players have said that that has helped them.
  • As always, please remember to frequently clear out your temporary internet files and clear your cookies. Some of the signs that you may need to do this include: certain numbers not being called by the caller even though they are out, the music not being heard and problems with the game playing slowly.

Unfortunately, we can’t find an answer for every single problem that is experienced by players, but hopefully these suggestions will help most of you.

It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the loss of one of our favourite Maniacs – DAME CRACKER.

Dame Cracker

Cracker, real name Carol, joined BingoMania in February 2007 and quickly became loved by all the roomies and GMs. She joined in with the community and had a great sense of fun. She was always quick with a kind word when someone needed lifted, even when she recently found out that she had cancer and that it was untreatable. In her inimitable style, instead of retreating into herself she continued to join in the fun and spirit of BingoMania.

Sadly, Carol lost the fight against cancer in the early hours of Thursday, 8th May.

The heartfelt thoughts and prayers of all at BingoMania are with the family at this difficult time.

Bingo Hall Smoking Ban

Though I’ve only smoked a cigarette on one or two occasions, with disastrous results, I’m aware that many of our members are regular smokers. I would love to hear from you on how the new smoking ban in land based bingo halls has affected you.

Have you stopped going to land based bingo halls since the ban or is not really a big deal for you?
