Sophie’s Bingo Review
Sophie’s Bingo doesn’t have the impressive design that we see at many Dragonfish networked brands; a cartoon lady, who we can only presume is “Sophie” welcomes you against a city skyline but other than that they design is pretty standard for a brand on this network. There is mention of the welcome bonus and a scrolling feature that announces the most recent winners, some of which have won quite substantial amounts but remember, these figures are likely not from bingo wins but instant win games.
On the home page of Sophie’s Bingo there is also mention of “Register and get FREE cards”. This is not an automatic offer but refers to the access given to new players to the free bingo room accessible for 72 hours after you have created your account. The Quids In bingo room offers £1 jackpots and gives you a chance to try out the games.
To register with Sophie’s Bingo takes just a couple of minutes and then you are ready to either “Play Now” or “Deposit”. When you click to play you are taken first to the bingo lobby where you can see exactly what Sophie’s Bingo has to offer. There are three variants of the online bingo game available; two versions of 75 ball (pattern and multi-line) and the traditional English game of 90 ball bingo. Alongside this you will find quite a selection of instant win games.
From the lobby you can see information about all of the open rooms including the room name, game type, chat host’s name (if one is on duty), time until next game, ticket prize and jackpot available. This helps you choose a room that suits your requirements and bingo budget. Once in a room you may be familiar with the layout as it is standard to the Dragonfish network with your ticket purchasing options to the left (becomes the bingo call board when a game is in play at Sophie’s Bingo), your bingo cards in the centre of your screen and chat to the left.
Above chat you will see a selection of instant win games some of which will open above your chat screen. This can make the chat screen quite small so if you like the social aspect of the online bingo game then you may prefer to have your side games open in a new window. This can be done by clicking “Show All Games” and choosing your preferred game from this screen.
Sophie’s Bingo has the standard Dragonfish network offerings so you’ll probably feel right at home at this site. However, it’s a shame that Sophie’s Bingo doesn’t try to differ from other brands by offering a little something extra to its players aside from the standard promotions that we see at hundreds of other sites.
Pros
Powered by trusted software and on the Dragonfish network, three different variations of the online bingo game, free games offered to new players on sign up.
Cons
There is nothing that makes Sophie’s Bingo different to other Dragonfish networked brands, as part of a network you are competing against players from multiple sites for the pot prize, the home page design is really poor.
