Silk Bingo Review
Landing at Silk Bingo you would be forgiven for half expecting something a little luxurious because of the site name, something smooth and cool maybe? Unfortuantely that’s not what you get from this Dragonfish networked brand when you land on the homepage. There are of course the obligatory bingo balls dotted around the page along with details of the welcome bonus from the brand but other than that there appears to have been no inspiration when designing this home page.
The registration process is standard to the Dragonfish network with the usual information required; name, address, date of birth, contact details, chosen player name and a financial details section. The latter does not need to be completed in order to access Silk Bingo and you can play free games without registering these details.
Simply skip this section if you don’t want to enter you financial details at this point. Once your registration is complete then you have two options, deposit or Play Now. You can do the latter without making a deposit as Silk Bingo offers free games to non-depositing players between the hours of 7am and 7pm with a game every eight minutes for jackpots of £1.
Once in the lobby you should feel right at home if you are registered with any of the other Dragonfish networked brand as the layout is the same. To the left of the screen you have the menu. Here you’ll see Instant Games, 90 ball bingo, 75 ball bingo, Specials, Free Bingo, Daily Jackpots and the £1m Jackpots. The default setting for all brands including Silk Bingo is to show the 90 ball bingo rooms and from the lobby you can see the room name, price per ticket for the next game, time until next game, chat host name (if one is on duty in the room) and the number of players. Simply choose a room that suits your requirements and click the "Play Now" button. The familiarity continues in the rooms with the layout standard to the network. Your bingo cards are in the centre of the screen, chat to the right and the bingo call board (or ticket purchasing options) are to the left of your screen.
The free bingo offering at Silk Bingo is very basic with just two rooms available. One of these is only open to depositing players and offers 75 ball games every 15 minutes from 3.45pm until 6pm daily with £10 jackpot. The other room is for all players, funded or unfunded, and boasts 90 ball bingo games every eight minutes from seven in the morning until seven in the evening.
Silk Bingo, like all Dragonfish networked brands is home to the £1 million coverall games and these play every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 10pm and 9.30pm for the Saturday game. Don’t be fooled by the lure of winning £1 million – to date not one single player has scooped the big jackpot and to be honest the £1 they charge per ticket is better invested elsewhere!
Silk Bingo is just another Dragonfish networked brand; there is nothing new or exciting to see at this site but having said that, if you like this network and the gaming experience it offers then Silk Bingo may well appeal to you.
