Tombola Bingo has replaced its trademark free bingo game Freefall, with a brand new free game called Lucky Pick. Whereas Freefall was an interesting flash variation on the bingo theme, Lucky Pick takes a step further away from the game of bingo, giving more control to the player.
With a hefty £20,000 in cash prizes to be won each and every week on this totally free game, Tombola bingo is confident that Lucky Pick will prove a popular asset to the already thriving online bingo site.
Lucky Pick is a week-long game, played from Monday to Sunday, and is based on a 10x9 grid behind which a number of cash and bonus prizes are concealed. Every day players can choose 6 shutters which open to reveal either an X or a cash prize.
Working on a hybrid mix of scratchcard and online bingo game mechanics, a certain number of identical cash prizes need to be revealed in order to win that particular amount. Prizes start from £5 in bonus cash, where just 4 matching symbols need to be revealed to win, up to £500 cash where 10 identical symbols are required to win. More than one prize can be won in any particular week.
Despite the apparent simplicity of this new free bingo game at Tombola, it is cleverly designed to appeal to bingo players and scratchcard fans alike, and comes complete with familiar online bingo game features as the 3TG, 2TG, etc., which are the shorthand terms used to inform the player at a glance how many bingo balls are needed to complete the card and score a bingo jackpot hit.
Players are given 6 picks daily, and individual progress through the week is stored in-game with days being ticked off and prizes looming ever closer. A nice feature is the ability to control the outcome of the game in as much as the player has complete freedom in deciding on which squares to select.
All in all there are 90 squares to choose from and 42 free choices to make during the week, the odds are pretty high that you'll win at least a fiver in bonus cash - a nice and painless induction to the pleasures of playing online bingo games at Tombola.
