A hat trick, (or hat-trick), is a term used in sports when a triple is scored.  I'm not sure if the same term can be officially applied to bingo, but hey, I'm gonna use it because we had a bingo hat trick with our Viva Las Vegas Competions. The player known as trudy_bm managed to get ahead and stay ahead on points in 3 of our bingo las vegas competions, resulting in her winning 3 x 3-day weekend trips to Las Vegas! Now that has to be a hat trick don't you think?  Congratulations to trudy_bm, I'm sure she will have the time of her life in Las Vegas. The competitions have ended for the time being, but will resume again in October.

I had an email from one of our newer UK bingo players, who was asking about bingo patterns. Mostly uk bingo is played in the 90 ball bingo variation, with 75 ball bingo being the more popular bingo game in America. The 75 ball bingo game can have many variations of pattern. Sometimes for instance you will see a game announced that will say something like 'bingo on the 'L' pattern'. This means that on the bingo grid, you will see an 'L' and you need to get all the numbers that form that letter to win. It isn't always alphabetical letters that are the basis of the bingo patterns. Numbers and symbols can be used, as well as outlines of pictures, for instance an easter egg or a christmas tree.

You can devise you own bingo pattern and send it in to us. We cannot guarantee all bingo patterns submitted will be used, but we try our best to incorporate new patterns into the bingo games. If you want to create a special bingo pattern to send to us, just go to our bingo patterns page, and fill in the squares that will outline your pattern, then select either static (still) or moving. Its a good time to start experimenting with patterns, maybe you can come up with a great Christmas pattern that we can use, and you can have the thrill of seeing your very own bingo pattern in play, at Starlight Bingo, and who knows, you may even win a jackpot on your own pattern!  Anything is possible in the world of bingo.

There's lots going on at Starlight Bingo, with many bingo chat specials and bingo cash specials taking place every day, so don't forget to pop in and try your luck.  The progressive jackpots are always in play, and at this time of writing they stand as follows: -

Summer has truly arrived at Starlight bingo! Our competitions to win a trip to Las Vegas, and a Caribbean Bingo Cruise are really hot! The winner of the May Viva Las Vegas Competition was trudy_bm. She is really looking forward to her 3 day weekend in Las Vegas, and our congratulations go out to her. The current Las Vegas Competition continues through to 15th July.

I have received a lot of emails from existing players, as well as people who were thinking of joining Starlight Bingo, commenting on our 90 ball bingo callers.  It seems you loved the idea of revealing who they are, and some of you even remember them from their performing years in the UK, and have got in contact with them.  We had several new online bingo lovers from the UK join Starlight Bingo simply because of our bingo callers!  We are really pleased that you like them, and of course we welcome all new players to Starlight Bingo, wherever you live.

For those who haven't noticed yet, we have reduced our bingo card prices! You can now play bingo from as little as 5 cents, and with our progressive bingo jackpot, that 5 cents could win you thousands! We had a few readers of our blog who emailed in saying that they would like to join Starlight Bingo, but don't want to play the online games in $USD.  No problem!  If you are in Europe, or UK, upon opening your bingo account, you can then select the currency of your choice. So if you select £GBP, once you are logged into the games software, the card prices, and the bingo pot and jackpot prizes will all be converted to the equivalent in your own currency. When you win you get paid in your own currency too! There is also a timezone converter on the right side of this page, where you can see the time differences so you know what time your favorite games will play in your time zone.

As we do every year, we will be celebrating (Friday) 4th July again with some great bingo cash specials. Don't worry if you are going to be out celebrating 4th July with fireworks etc, because you can pre-buy your cards very easily, and so you don't have to miss out on anything!

Our 4th July Bingo Party runs from 12pm EST (noon) to 12am EST (midnight).  Playing on the '4' pattern. Every hour we have $100 pots and a $4,000 jackpot!  And thats not all.  Not to be missed are our two special bingo games playing once at 9pm EST, and once at 10pm EST, playing on the 'fireworks' pattern, where the pots will be a massive $400, and a jackpot of $4,000!!

Happy 4th July to one and all!
