As pointed out on last week’s mania newsletter, we’re introducing a new Friday Bingo special where each week, a different bingo lineup will play … and here’s the sweet part … you get to decide the specials!

After all this is your community and you should be able to say what games we play. Otherwise we’d be being a bit rude, wouldn’t we? LOL

My Bingo Party

So here’s how it works:

Every Monday (we promise):

  1. We’ll post two different bingo sessions on the ManiaStu Blog
  2. You and your fellow maniacs vote on your preferred session
  3. We’ll keep it open till Thursday night. The bestest session with the most votes will play on Friday night.

Our first Maniac Friday Bingo Party is up on October 5th and you can get voting as of Monday, October 1st.

Here are two options we’ve come up for this week’s Bingo Party. Let us know what you think by selecting your preferred special. And if you have any suggestions for the following Friday Maniac party, leave us a message. Thanks!

Option A –

  • 15 x £30/£65 high/low 2 part games @ 25p | 10 card max
    • Part 1 – low £5 and high £15
    • Part 2 – low £25 and high £50
  • 6 x £200 games @ 1.00 | 10 card max
  • 3 x free £20 game

-OR-

Option B –

  • 9 x £30/£65 high/low 2 part games @ 25p | 10 card max
    • Part 1 – low £5 and high £15
    • Part 2 – low £25 and high £50
  • 12 x £100 games @ 1.00 | 10 card max

    This is a great idea - do you change the type of games every week?
    I would love to see the £100 games back - I don’t know what they are called but would vote for them no problem !

    fraggle2007: thanks! … yes the type of games will change every week. To get started, we will post a couple of different suggestions each week and let the community vote. And the more feedback we receive on the type of games you wish to play, the better. So keep those suggestions coming…have a great day!

    Its great having a party with special games, but do the best payout games have to be as as high as £1.00 per ticket. I would prefer a slightly lower prize for say 50p or 75p a ticket or perhaps a bogoff session on the £1.00 tickets. Peasants like me cant afford £1.00 ticket games very often lol.

    I think this is a great idea, a party night yipeeee, looking forward to it and I dont think its too much to ask 1 pound a ticket for the higher pots, after all there are peeps that play in the fair n square room and pay 2 pound for a set of tickets and the prize money is a lot less in there, so to say that 1 pound is too much is a bit like wanting jam on it lol, and it is only for 1 nite a week and it wont be for the whole session.

    Good luck everybody

    Luv n hugs Grumps xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    HI
    Aries I agree with you, the pound games I will not be able to afford to play, they are expensive.
    Again a lower prize would be greatly appreciated for a cheaper ticket price !
    Grumps - I am a pauper!!!!!!!!!
    I cannot afford to go into the fair and square !!!!!!!!!!!
    Anyway all in all it looks good, just i am tight so want it cheaper - don’t ask don’t get lol
    GL all who play

    OMGGGGG i just worked out that if I play from 8pm-11pm and max every single game in the party hours I need to deposit £97.50. I can see where your coming from fraggle and aries. The pound games alone are £60.00, are these pound game 3 part or 1 part game.

    Hi All — as you can see from our party session, we’ve put together a series of games that would be enjoyed by all: from a few free games, several 25p cards and several higher end guaranteed games at £1/card. And to make sure you have an even playing field and an equal chance at yelling bingo, we’ve kept the max card at only 10 cards.

    At Bingo Mania you always have a better chance at winning because our rooms and games are not over crowded with 400+ players. So when you combine the prizes being awarded, the diversity of games and great odds, tonight’s session voted by you will be a lot of fun!

    Fortunately, each Friday night we will have a different party lineup - so please provide suggestions for next week’s Friday Bingo Party. Will be posting next Friday’s Bingo Party schedule on Monday, October 8th.

    Finesse, do you always play max card? I’m hoping that’s a no : - 0

    I agree with you Finesse, plus probably be more players and less chance of winning, but it boosts Manias coffers doesn’t it! A great idea, but expensive as well.

    I never max out - cannot afford it, but even if I could it is a lot of money for one night.
    Stu - do we get to choose the games or get a choice of two from you?

    Fraggle2007- all suggestions are welcome: games, prizes, patterns, card/ticket costs, etc. We will do our best to incorporate all suggestions into our weekly bingo party sessions.

    I was just informed by Jordan that it would be impossible for us to do high / low games on part 1 and 2 as this will not work technically. So here’s a solution: for the high / low games, we keep them at single pattern with low 30 and high 65.

    Oh no i dont max out, but cause this is a party i though maybe i could give it a go, but after careful consideration thats a lot of money, so i wont be maxing out, but i would like to maybe next week just for a flutter, so i though maybe if i deposit on wednesaday and dont play till friday, then with the 150% depo special i can max out lolll.

    I haven`t posted here before but feel I have to now. In chat the other day some1 was moaning that there were too many players for a prize too small! the pots were jumping pots of 35/65 aswell as several games for 200 guaranteed pot. omg - how many sites offer that? In addition , I must agree with Grumps on his/her post above - finesse it is certainly not obligatory to max - why wud u feel your chances are better maxing with 50 plus players lol?- but if thats what you want to do we all pay to play. I just sometimes feel - even tho i dont say much in chat - the more mania give the more people want. This site is fantastic and carry on the good work. If all people can find to moan about is the fact they feel that 50 plus players with pots of 200 is too much well mania is on track.Mnay sites would promote a “party nite” and set the max at anything from 30-50 cards@£1 a card rather than the 10 mania limit it to. I have been lucky enough to cashout here and each time it has been on time according to the published rules- ie. cashouts processed mon weds fri. That alone is enough for me. Thanks mania and keep up the good work. Brilliant friendly roomies(even though i dont say much i watch it all- lol) and fantastic GMS. tyvm

    Roomraider - you are right this is a great site as it is.
    Sometimes we MAY get a bit greedy - human nature n all lol !!!
    But this is a great site, with lots of freebies and bits to make it different and great GM’s and players too.
    I don’t think finesse was implying she does max, just pointing out the cost if you did, which is a fair comment as it is expensive, which is why paupers like myself and Grumps do not do it lol.
    Anyway best of luck to you all for this week. x

    Ty Fraggle, i was just implying the cost for maxing and well sometimes we do have to urge to do it, but i know maxing doesnt always work as i have often won £50 with 1 ticket, and like grumps said with 1 ticket and a lovely win it makes it all the better and nicer.
