Bingo Blitz - a Facebook Game

If you were to look into this app page (mind you, must be the one with a "tick" ie. official page, otherwise the other fake pages are out to scam you), you can see there are approx 4.5 million likes, and at the game site, 1.0 million PLUS gamers.

Wow! This is surely the most popular bingo game in FB. This is true. Do a comparison with the other sites and nothing beats this.

This is popular because the creator knows what human wants. I love to win, I love competition, I love to boast. So, this game starts out initially with you finishing bingo games in themed rooms and if you are lucky, you get a collection item in the card you bingo-ed. Of course, to make this more lucrative, you get collection items from treasure chests in your cards and you can also use coins you collect from your cards to buy certain items. Mmmm... there are always 2 items you can get your FB friends to gift to you FOC.

When I first started out a few years back, I lost interest in this because you can NEVER get ALL the collection items in the room without any help. Furthermore, none of my family play this, not to mention my friends. Then, I tried again around 1 year plus back and I found a group who actually help you out, not only with the free items but everything (ie. if they have it).

I love this group because we pay it forward. Yes, that's what I learned. Everyone helps one another. Most of us are strangers to one another, but when we are playing this Bingo Blitz, we share the same interest - help one another to complete the rooms. Yes, we would love the receipients saying "Thanks" but we don't get it all the time. Nevertheless, we help, not only those in the same group but any other player playing this game.

Not sure what happened during the time I stopped playing Bingo Blitz, but heard it changed hands. Not sure if this true but I can see changes. Changes that make players happy, angry, frustrated, delighted, etc.

Bingo Blitz introduced "Elite Players". You pay a premium monthly and you get some benefits like playing the daily tournament free for another 5 rounds (vs. the free 5 rounds daily). And, recently, when they open a new room, just like the new Halloween slot room last Thursday, it was early preview for "Elite players". Of course, those who are non-Elite players (myself inclusive) are not happy. But come to think about it, Bingo Blitz need money too - to pay their programmers, etc. Who in the world would work for free ALL the time? So, we, non-Elite players, will still get to play the new room but a week later. To me, it's "What's the hurry?". Of course, every individual is different. To me, it's "I can do my other work first".

Bingo Blitz also starterd introducing "Non-tradeable" items. In the past, we can gift to one another our excess items but now, new rooms will usually have a few "non-tradeable" items. So you can imagine those who are eager to finish the room get very frustrated when we say "Sorry, that item is non-giftable, you'd have to win it for yourself." Well, this is their way of safeguarding their interests - You must somehow play it yourself to complete the room - in other words, you can always pay to get more credits from the site (Well, this is up to you). So, when humans get excited and anxious to finish the rooms, they will start to buy the credits when they have used up their daily credits. Mind you, the chips you need for a card in the new rooms depend on your level ie. the higher level you are in, the more you pay, but of course, the higher XP and rewards too.

Heard this from the chat in one of the rooms that at that time (I think it was 2 days ago), you get 2300 chips for US$200 (I believe it's definitely not S$). So, I'm getting $7.74 worth of chips daily (am getting around 80 chips daily). Wow, that's not bad. And now that I don't have time to play, I accumulate them daily and I get alot that I can splurge at one go in the future.

Bingo Blitz is smart to introduce this in the slots rooms. If you get a "Big Win", "Mega Win" or "Epic Win" when you strike it big, you can choose to post this picture/photo on your timeline. Players who get such wins are happy, but not some sour grapes. They started complaining that it's jamming up their FB page. Well, you win some and you lose some.

If you have not tried this game, go ahead and try but do NOT get too carried away. I had a hard time stopping my slots spins to work on this post as it's a Never-ending-Last-Spin.
