By now, you should know that in the word of online bingo, you won't only need to mark numbers off a ticket to win. Thanks to the inclusion of many different bingo variants and of course; slot games, playing bingo at home is more popular now than it's ever been...
...and gone are the days where you'd have to get dressed up and head out to enjoy a game of bingo, because whether you own the latest mobile or tablet or a dated desktop or laptop computer, the joys of bingo and games can be accessed with just a few clicks of a mouse or a press of a finger!
Researchers believe that the force behind the influx of online bingo players is purely down to the smoking ban, which came into effect in 2007 in England - this had a knock-on effect and led to many bingo hall closures...
...but others believe it's down to the advances in technology, including HTML5 which allows for mobile optimised gaming. One thing we know for certain is that there is a vast selection of bingo sites available and all must keep up with the times, by this we mean introducing new promotions or games, or they'll get left behind whilst the competition flourishes!
Eyecon
Eyecon is one of the most popular slot providers when it comes to bingo sites and has plenty of experience under its belt.

...before we delve into the gaming products, let us remind you of the fun-filled bingo games on offer:
- High-5 bingo: those of you who are familiar to the brand will recognise this one. Played with 75 bingo balls, this variant of bingo is sometimes referred to as Swedish bingo. Regardless of its name, the game plays out the exact same way; five lines (5 winners) featured in each game!
- Patterned 75-ball bingo: this one is simple; match the pattern on display on your ticket before anyone else, to win the single prize on offer.

Now for the games...
…and whilst you may not be able to think of any Dragonfish slots or casino games, we bet that you'll be able to name a few powered by 888! Unless you've been hibernating for few years, you should know that 888 is an independent B2B division of Dragonfish and while bingo and table games are the real deal from the firm, they still deliver top quality games - including progressive jackpot titles.
Café de Paris, City Life and Love in London are fantasy-filled creations with plenty to keep the fussiest of players happy, but they don't compete with the likes of Millionaire Genie; the Aladdin themed slot with regular payouts of millions up for grabs. Head into the mysterious setting of the middle east where a futuristic genie could be the only thing that stands between you and big wins.
