Bet 365Bingo

Just a quick note on what I think is wrong with this brand name - firstly the word bet and bingo are in my mind not compatible. A bet is who is going to be next manager for Newcastle it does not apply to buying an online bingo card.

Then on to the phrase 365Bingo which works a bit better in isolation but still comes across to me as a full time no respite job rather than a pleasurable pastime - Bingo is all about impulse and fun not about having to log on everyday. I also noted that someone else owns the URL 365bingo.net clearly this should be owned by Bet365 Bingo.

Express Bingo is being heavily promoted in off the page adverts in the Express newspaper at the moment. The Daily Express still sells over 2 million copies of its newspaper everyday to a slightly older audience than you would expect to be online and interested in online bingo. The Daily Express has licensed The CB Malta Corporation to provide its online bingo service CB stands fro Cyber Bingo, The Daily Express Bingo is a pretty cool site which offers substantial sign up incentives.

It's the Mona Lisa of online slot games!

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:05:16 +0000

When famed Renaissance Artist, Inventor and Philosopher Leonardo Da Vinci was working on master pieces such as the Mona Lisa (left) he could hardly have believed an online slot machine would be constructed in his honour.

But here it is, Getminted's 'Da Vinci Diamonds' and like the great man's famed works this too is a master piece in it's own sphere!

If ever an online game could take you back in time then this is it.

Natural jewells pepper the screen as do images of the Mona Lisa and other such pieces of art work linked to the Italian genius.

Unique to the 'Da Vinci Diamond' game is the Tumbling Reels feature which immediately makes you realise you're not playing on just any online slot game.

With this clever visual feature the symbols fall from the top of the screen rather than spinning upon reels.

Winning symbol combinations simply disappear and new symbols quickly tumble down to replace the vansihed symbols. In essence then you can win more than once on a single spin.

Not only do you get wonderful timeless graphics then but also a different style of slot format.
