When did the Bingo-Hybrid games become popular?

Bingo has always been a popular game, but the newer versions of the game seem to take on a Bingo-Hybrid like existence. Pick a casino favourite and add Bingo seems to be the latest phase that most of the sites are experimenting with, and Tombola’s Bingo Roulette is genius.

Back in the good old days Bingo used to consist of a Bingo card and a dabber. Add the Bingo caller to the mix and you have yourself a game. Then the idea of a different Bingo game was the introduction of 75 Ball and 80 Ball games. Then came the Bingo Lite and Speed Bingo. Now Bingo Slots are everywhere and every site has its own Hybrid Bingo versions.

Bring in the new ideas and the game has taken on a Casino or TV game hybrid theme that takes the basic game we all know and love and adds another Casino classic or a TV games show to it. Say hello to Bingo Roulette. The Bingo card has been replaced by a Roulette table and when the white ball lands on a number, your card is marked (or not).

Deal or No Deal Bingo games are supper popular and based on the Noel Edmunds TV game of the same name. Then there’s the Cinco at Tombola that plays with Poker-Bingo Hybrid game that uses Poker cards as the Bingo balls.

Let’s not forget the Side bets either. Now you can bet on the next call being higher or lower, or the number of the balls called before the Full House is taken. Big pots and seriously popular, but can it eventually replace Bingo?? NO. But it does give you fabulous variety of game on a classic.

Bingo is far from dead. It might still have an offline image of a game played by grannies, but the online version is alive and well with so many different ways to play that we are now spoilt for choice.
So eye’s down and Game on.
