Mike Etherington, general manager at Mecca Wrexham added, ‘It’s great to see a valued, loyal bingo player like Rosemary Anne win a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

‘Rosemary Anne strolled into the club on Sunday, as she does every week, and casually told us she had won the prize a week ago. We couldn’t believe she hadn’t told us, but more so, we were overjoyed for her win.’

The First Tribal Online Bingo Site in the US Shutdown Order

Desert Rose Bingo initially launched in November to players in California and by the following month December has been ordered to shut down.

The site features Bingo games for cash prizes powered by GreatLuck and is owned by the lipay Nation of Santa Ysabel.

A San Diego federal judge on Friday order the bingo site to shutdown stating it violates a compact between tribes and state that prohibits online gambling.

Tribal lawyers argued in court that players were placing wagers with a proxy which is located on the reservation and is therefore legal.

State lawyers found the reasoning ridiculous that it was done on reservation land therefore legal.

The tribe requested to the judge not to order a site closing until a full hearing and legal arguments could be heard.

Playtech’s Virtue Fusion to Launch New Bingo Variation – Update

Well LBB’ers, the time has come. There was a buzz surrounding the launch of Playtech’s new bingo variation in recent weeks but the day has come and Cash Cubes is now live.

Playtech COO, Daniel Phillips, commented on the company’s newest development: ‘We have developed and designed a highly original product with an innovative twist with this 36-ball, multi stake variant. We premiered the game at ICE 2016 and the feedback was phenomenal.

‘The game looks fantastic and, with a number of our largest licensees heavily promoting the game, the early signs are very encouraging with players immediately engaging with and enjoying this innovative new format.’

At the moment not all Virtue Fusion powered online brands feature the game but we do know that you can definitely find Cash Cubes at Gala Bingo.

The specifics of the game are described by Gala:

‘A ticket consists of 12 numbers which are contained within trapezoids – these 12 shapes construct 4 connected squares. A cube is completed when all 4 numbers on its sides have been called. Once a square is completed, it shatters and releases a cube which comes to rest at the foot of the screen. The winner is the first player to collect all 4 cubes, at which point the original shape outline shatters and the win animation appears.’

Cash Cubes, played with 36 balls, is a totally new concept with speed at its core. It’s ideal for mobile play so let us know what you think.
