Now we are ready to actually play some games.
At the top of your screen you will see four doors.
Let’s start with the Bingo shall we?
Simply place your mouse over the “Bingo” door and click. Your character will then walk up the stairs and through the bingo door.
You are then in the bingo lobby.
As you can see, there are eight rooms available at Bingo Cafe UK. At the time this guide was written only three where open.
Bistro Bar offers £0.10 games with a maximum purchase of 100 cards with a current prize of £7.24 and the Rhumba Room offers £0.10 games with a maximum purchase of 30 cards with a current prize of £3.65. Abbey Road is a 90 ball room.
The prizes offered are reflective of the time that the screenshots were taken (very late!)
choose the room you want to enter by pointing your mouse to the room and clicking. Your character will then walk into the room.
You now just need to choose which table you would like to sit at. Again, choose a seat, place your mouse over it and click (although the men look very handsome you cannot sit on their laps and vice versa for the women!)
Now you are sat at a table you will need to purchase your cards. To the left of your screen is the card buying section.
At Bingo Café UK the minimum purchase is 3 cards. You can buy by clicking a set number of cards i.e 5, 10, 25 etc etc or you can use the button to scroll to the number of cards you want to buy. When you have decided how many cards to buy click 
. The cards you have bought will show at the top of your screen.
You may have bought more than the three that show on your screen but you can see the others by using the scroll bar to the right of your cards to scroll down.
The prize that you are playing for will appear as the game starts along with the pattern required to win to the left of your cards.
As you can see in this example you are playing the Shark pattern. If you were to call “Bingo” in 16 numbers or less you would not only win the prize of £12.07 but also the Jackpot of £616.64!
Whilst the game is in play you can see the progress of your cards on the table. You will also see the progress of your fellow players. These are indicated from when a player needs 3 numbers down to bingo. Red indicates 3 to go, Green indicates 2 to go, Yellow indicates 1 to go and purple means “BINGO!”
Your own cards at the top of the screen will also follow this pattern of colour changes.
On certain games the Bonanza prize comes into play. Like the Jackpot, the game will indicate how many numbers or less you need to call in to win this prize.
Winners of the bingo games will appear where your bingo cards once were.
You will notice there are a few extra buttons at your bingo table. Let’s go through these now.
This will open a new window that provides details of all the site promotions.
This is an option to purchase cards automatically. Your bingo software does need to be open and you do need to be connected to the internet for this to work but it does mean that you can walk away and do other things and leave your games to play.
Early in this step by step guide it was mentioned about “Favourite Sayings”. This button will bring up the screen showing ones you have set.
These are my examples :-
You would then just click on the saying you want to use and click enter.
This button will bring up a little screen full of emoticons. Sometimes in online bingo an emoticon speaks a thousand words ?
There are more available by using the scroll bar. Again, just click on the emoticon that you want to use and click enter.
Fed up with the callers voice? Click this button to turn the sound off.
You will also have noticed that just above your table there are buttons for other games. Online bingo, like land bingo also caters for the slots lovers amongst us.
If you click these buttons you can play slots and many other games whilst your bingo game is in play. You can’t do that in a land bingo hall!
At Bingo Café UK if you click 
the you will see there are other games available at your bingo table apart from slots.
Chat Games and the Chat Room
As shown previously in this guide, the chat room at Bingo Café UK is a separate screen to your bingo screen. It is well worth keeping this open as this is where you will win extra bingo bucks.
Bingo Bucks are the free money that you can win or the bonuses that you receive on deposits. At Bingo Café UK they can only be used for Bingo, they cannot be played on the slots or any of the other games played.
An example of winning Bingo Bucks at Bingo Café is the chat game being played for the hour.
• Lowball
Whoever calls Bingo on the lowest number for the hour wins £15!
The chat host will always keep tally of who is winning but you do need to be in chat to win the Bingo Bucks.
Right, that’s the Bingo Game explained….if you recall there were four doors to choose from and we have only covered one.
To stand up from your table simply click “Exit Game”, this will take you back to the screen where you choose which table to sit at.
