Gone Bingo hosts Slots Tourney

Gone Bingo have upped the ante in the stiff online bingo competition in the UK with their very own online slots tournament.

A first in the world of online UK bingo, to the best of our knowledge there has never been a Slots Tournament hosted by an online bingo website. However in the extremely fast moving world of bingo online, it pays to be one step ahead of the competition, and this time it looks like the folks at Gone Bingo could be starting the latest trend.

The Slots Tournament runs from January 12 to 15 with a prize pool of £500 up for grabs for the top 10 scoring bingo players to share. The tournament also boasts a Live Leaderboard which is a must in any slots tournament, as it allows players to track their progress while they play slots online.

The entry fee for the Slots Tourney is a deposit of just £20 and with the wide range of slot games available in the Gone Bingo software, should attract a lot of competition and will definitely make for an exciting event for online bingo fans and for slots fans too.

Since the first tentative appearance of online bingo websites quite a few years back, it has become a booming industry, especially in the UK. Bingo websites quickly started adding side play live bingo games, consisting of mini instant games such as popular casino games, slot games and virtual scratchcard games that could be played alongside the main bingo games, and to fill in the time while waiting for the next bingo game to start.

These so-called side games have mushroomed in popularity and have now become major features in any online bingo website worth its salt, offering huge progressive jackpots and providing healthy competition for online casinos. If the Gone Bingo slots tournament appeals to online bingo players, we'll be witnessing a brand new trend in the world of bingo online.
