Jackpots in Bingo: How They Form And Work

Posted by  Michael Otero

Let’s start with a clarification: in bingo a percentage of the various purchase quotas of the cards is used to increase a fund for the creation of fixed Jackpots. This is how the jackpots are formed.

In the Diamond 90 room , going to see the information, we will discover that the composition and the conditions of winning the Jackpots are the following:

  • Gold: 25% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by the 40th call;
  • Silver : 6% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by 45th call;
  • Bronze : 1% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by the 49th call.

If we move instead to the Day 90 room we will notice a different composition of the Jackpots, both in the amount and in the win conditions:

  • One : Amount € 200, Bingo starting from the 47th call, with an increase of one call at each subsequent draw until the win;
  • Gold : 40% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by the 38th call;
  • Silver : 25% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by the 40th call;
  • Bronze : 7% of the fund Fixed Jackpots, Bingo by the 44th call.

The question that will interest many however is: How do you hit a Jackpot in an online Bingo game?

Each room defines a maximum number of draws within which to play Bingo: if you are lucky enough to meet this requirement, in addition to the Bingo prize, you also take home the Fixed Jackpot prize.

Types of Jackpots in Bingo

There are different types of jackpots and each has its own characteristics. Let’s go and see the main ones:

Fixed Jackpots

Fixed Jackpots have the characteristic of being paid out only in the case of Bingo within a given call. If this situation does not occur within the game, the amount of the fund is further set aside and it is put up for grabs in subsequent games, until it is hit by some lucky player. Fixed Jackpots are usually divided into 3 distinct levels that bring the player prizes with different amounts:

  • Jackpot Gold : the richest one, in which the Jackpot fund is most committed. Like all the most coveted prizes it is also the most difficult to win, up for grabs with the lowest number of drawings granted.
  • Jackpot Silver : Here the amount of the prize is intermediate exactly like the number of draws required to win the special prize.
  • Bronze Jackpot : The least rich but easiest to win Jackpot, therefore more common.

The amount of the Jackpot up for grabs and the minimum number of extractions required to obtain the coveted prize vary from room to room , so all that remains is to thoroughly study the characteristics of all the rooms to find the best ones and with the most interesting Bingo Jackpots.

Jackpot One

This other type of Jackpot provides for a provision on a different fund than that of Fixed Jackpots. In this case there are no different levels of winning but a fixed amount that is up for grabs at each game. When the bottom is reached, Jackpot One is up for grabs, starting with a certain ball. It is then incremented by one ball for each subsequent game until someone wins it.

How Do You Play Baccarat?

The protagonists of each game are two: the dealer and the player. However, up to 14 bettors can intervene at each bet, who can bet on the victory, the draw or the defeat of the player or the dealer.

Unlike blackjack, where you always play with the player opposite the dealer, in Baccarat there is the possibility to bet on both the dealer and the player.

Baccarat is played with as many as six decks of French cards without the inclusion of the “Jolly” cards and the dealer, known as the “dealer”, will be positioned in the center of the table. The other players will position themselves to the left and right of the dealer each in a predetermined position called “tableaux” or simply in Italian “ali”.

The baccarat rules require each player in turn to challenge the dealer by trying to win or by quitting the game in case of a loss. In that case the action passes to the next player. The player who plays is nominated.

Are there any ways to win at Baccarat?

Wandering around the casinos and taking a look at the tables, Baccarat players often take notes on the progress of the game to understand the trends that are repeated more often and refine their strategy. In reality, every hand of Baccarat should be understood as an event unrelated to what happened in previous hands. That’s why taking notes is definitely not a strategy.

The real strategy is to bet on the bank!

We have seen in the rules that Baccarat offers players three different types of bets: the one on the bank, the one on the player and the one on the tie. The first two have good chances of winning, the third is to be excluded. If you want to bet to win, the best choice is the dealer: according to the number of decks used, the online casino advantage on the player’s hand is generally 1.25%, while on the dealer’s hand it is only 1.06%.

It is true that the dealer’s hand always takes away a 5% “commission”, favoring the casino advantage up to 2.5%; however, when the bet is offset by the player’s hand, the margin drops towards the 1% threshold. If you feel more in the mood to take a risk then try the player bet, but rule out the tie anyway: it’s probably the only sure way to never win!…
