I started with “Living Large” slot which reminded me of one of my favorite games from when I was younger, “The Sims” so I gave it a spin. The slot was really challenging to handle because I needed three free spins symbols to trigger them but I was getting two in every spin and I also needed two bonus symbols to trigger the bonus round but I was getting one symbol in almost every spin. I didn’t managed to trigger anything as I was watching my money slip away. I felt like I got hooked to a cheap trick, hoping that it’s only a matter of time when I’ll trigger either the bonus round or a round of free spins.  bingo blog

Without even paying attention to who was joining me in this 75 ball bingo game I was more focused on the prize pool and pattern. It was a 6 Pack pattern that always puts me in the mood for a nice cold beer. I was a bit shocked that the prize money was so low at $1.32. I got side tracked when my cell phone rang. With my eyes on the board and jabbering on the phone I kept close watch.  bingo blog

My first few spins didn’t result in much but I did see the bonus symbol creep in a time or two. I need 3 to trigger the interactive bonus game so I waited patiently. I hit £7.90 on multiple paylines with the cupcake wilds but it wasn’t nearly enough to boost my balance. I was losing my bankroll fast. I just hoped I could hold on long enough to trigger the bonus. Then I got a bonus symbol on reels one and two and reels three, four and five slowly came down but I didn’t get the third bonus symbol.  bingo blog

I entered the “Nickles” room; the game has already started so I waited shortly for my game to start. I needed to cover a giraffe shape; for five bought tickets I got 2 for free so I started playing with 68 tickets. That cost me $2.40 and the prize money amounted to $4.02 - I felt much better. I had 15 cards with just one number to go and luckily one of them was a winning ticket. Well, the downside was that I had to share my modest win with someone else. This wouldn’t be very important but instead of winning $1.62 I lost $0.39. After I waited for the disappointment to pass, I bought the tickets again hoping that these 68 would be luckier. An amazing thing happened, I won again; this time the prize money was $7.38 but again I had to share it with someone else.  bingo blog

Golden Balls is a 20 line slot game with two bonus games. I had just gotten started when I hit 27.60 in a single spin. I hoped that this was not only the beginning of a great slot session but also a nice session of bingo later. The payouts were going well and before long I had hit the Golden Bank bonus!  bingo blog

But just to check if the stars were on my side I entered “Fun 75” room. Speed penny game had already started but what I liked was the possibility to buy tickets for the game in progress. That was great since the pause between two games was really short. The first game I played was to cover a shape of a Music Note and I bought 50 tickets and got 10 for free; I was close to a win but I didn’t. In the next game, the pattern was a Broken Frame, I bought 100 tickets and got 20 for free and this time I won; not much just €1.55 but any win counts. bingo blog

As the double line game began I had 5tg. That’s usually not a good place to be. I watched in horror because my luck had been so bad today. I got to 2tg with #12 and #90 but before I could get excited, someone bingo’d. bingo blog

One aspect of IGT slots that I’ve experienced more than my fair share is the difficulty with hitting the bonus. In Coyote Moon, three bonus symbols must land on reels 2, 3 and 4. I must have gotten two bonus symbols at least a dozen times. I hit a few hummingbirds and wilds for £4 then some lizards for £6. I was going to need more than that to make this a good time. bingo blog

When things aren’t going my way I have to do something to change it; in this case I could only change the room. So, I tried my luck in a “Nickels” or “Party Gossip” room. I was hoping that with 68 tickets I’d have more luck; I certainly had more chances. As much as I was excited in the beginning, my enthusiasm was slowly disappearing as the time passed by. I played four more games but I wasn’t even close to winning. In my last game I had 15 cards with just one number to go but even that wasn’t enough for a win.  bingo blog

I played two games there but with no luck; I wasn’t even close to winning, I needed three more numbers to go. I had to stop for a minute and think about what to do. I decided to keep playing and I went to Speed Bingo 90 Ball game where I played a few games, just enough to realize that mu luck was not going to change. In the end I had l only €0.40 left on my account and with the ticket prices being €0.05, I decided to stay in the same room and spend my last 40 cents. I bought 8 tickets and I waited just a few minutes to see as all my money disappear.  bingo blog

I decided to play at Bingo Knights and somehow found resisted to not play the Casino Knight Slots. Whenever I have not had a good spinning session on slot I either get off or try raising the bet to see if it will change the cycle.  bingo blog

I was all set and ready to start spinning at £2. I find that spinning a bit higher than I normally would pays off on this slot game. I got off to a very bad start. My balance was going faster than I could blink and sometimes that happens with Casper’s Mystery Mirror. Then I hit a few winning combos including the stacked wilds for £12.25.  bingo blog

I don’t think I had any spins worth more than £4 for a very long while but to be honest I really didn’t care. I was just so happy to have the opportunity to play this slot game from home online that I was having a great time win or lose.  bingo blog

I first entered 90 Ball room and I started to play with 15 tickets plus 10 I got for free. I played two games there with not much luck; there weren’t many people but I guess it just wasn’t my day. My next choice was 75 ball room where I also played with 15 tickets and 10 free ones. I really had to leave my first game behind - which I did - and that positive attitude brought me long waited win; my first win was £1.23. It certainly gave me hope that if I keep playing more wins would come. But as I assumed and according to my experience, I had no more wins.  bingo blog

I stayed in the same room since it was very convenient for my weekend room cleaning. I couldn’t remember the last time that happened but I had back to back wins; in my second game I won £2.54. By that time, Cheers Bingo had already got me cheering and started turning into my favorite bingo site. I stayed in the same room for a few more games and I had another small win of £1.56; a few times I was very close to winning some more games but I can’t be unhappy after all.  bingo blog
