Jackpotjoy - Moving Beyond Bingo to All-Round Gaming

Fully registered in Gibraltar, with offices in England, Jackpotjoy is one of the foremost Instant Win and Bingo web sites in the United Kingdom. According to independent corporate analysts at Durlacher Corporation, it grabbed the title of "most popular bingo hall in the UK" in February 2005. Since then, it hasn't looked back, adding more than 60 casino games to its mix of gaming options. The bingo games run on a platform developed by the Gamesys Group; no downloads are required to wager. All software is licensed in Malta, and English is currently the only language in which Jackpotjoy can be accessed.

Games to Play

Bingo has always been the primary focus of Jackpotjoy. It offers the traditional 90-ball and 75-ball formats, each with progressive jackpots worth around £20,000, fixed prizes of £100 to £10,000, and cards starting at 5p, 10p, 25p, and 50p. The chat rooms are constantly buzzing during scheduled sessions, as friendly hosts offer no fewer than nine chat games to play while the bingo numbers are being called. Chat game prizes average around £3-£8.

Among specialty bingo side games offered at Jackpotjoy, SNAP and Monopoly Snap each provide five ways to win, while 75-ball "The Price is Right" features five mini games and the chance to win a Mini Cooper. There is also a unique 90-ball "team bingo" game called "Family Fortunes". It allows players to create their own avatars and join others in competition for two big jackpots; cards are priced at just 10p apiece.

To complement bingo play, Jackpotjoy has introduced both multi-line and classic slot games. The two-dimensional graphics may be quite traditional, but the payouts are state-of-the-art; spins cost from 1p to £3 each and wins top out at 3,000-20,000 times the wager. An Auto Play feature makes it possible to play games in the background while the bingo sessions are in progress, too.

Among the many themes available on Jackpotjoy's slots are Yeah Baby, Bullion Bonanza, Winning Streak, Reel Deal Diner, and Houdini. Television themes such as The X Factor and Deal or No Deal are available, too. In fact, the progressive version of Deal or No Deal paid out a staggering £1.43 million. Other big jackpots can be won on Tycoon's Treasure and Diamond Bonanza progressives.

Scratch games are another popular aspect of Jackpotjoy, with eleven different cards to choose from. Whole Lotta Luck, Footballers Widows, Money Machine, and other fun themes add to the excitement of waiting for bingo wins, and with a top prize of £30,000, scratching Gold Fever can easily be the main event by itself.

Jackpotjoy also provides a hefty line-up of casino games to play - nearly two dozen all together. These include 3-Card Poker, Multi-Hand Blackjack, Single Deck Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, Roulette, Baccarat, and Caribbean Stud. There is an unusual European classic card game called 7½, and two versions of Hi-Lo. Rounding out the mix are eleven Video Poker games, from Jacks or Better to Double Double Bonus and even Ultimate Video Poker with up to 50 hands possible for ten different games.

Bonuses to Claim

After the first deposit bonus, the promotions are showered on players, including Cash Back offers, Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) bingo cards, bingo happy hours, guaranteed jackpots, and penny bingo. There is even a free bingo game in the Rocket room - all day, every day - with £1,000 in prizes to be won.

Another promotional feature of Jackpotjoy is its loyalty program, which centers on the "Shop of Joy" merchandise area. Players earn "Joy Points" as they play, which can be collected and redeemed for free cash, Star Jackpot tickets, and entries in Prize Draws. The giveaways include such great items as Philips 32-inch plasma screen TVs and Nintendo Wii game systems.
