First off, thank you for all the great feedback and ideas you’ve shared with me and the community on the upcoming Asteroid Room makeover. You all rock, thank you!!!
Here are some ideas that have come up, based on your suggestions:
- Extend the Asteroid room by six (6) hours every day. Room opens at 12pm EST instead of 6pm
- New daily lunch time special 12pm to 2pm EST with Buy 4 Get 2 Free cards type offer
- An entire new 6pm to 12am/2am EST sessions with big guaranteed pots and colossal coveralls
Sample Daily Session
12pm – 2pm
Daily Lunch Special Buy 4 Get 2 Free
3 part pari-mutuels with starting $20
- Part 1: $3 Starting + your wager
- Part 2 : $7 starting + your wager
- Part 3: $10 starting + your wager
3 part $100 guaranteed games (mid hour)
- Part 1: $10 guaranteed
- Part 2: $15 guaranteed
- Part 3: $75 guaranteed
2pm-6pm EST
- Non-Stop $10,000 min. Coveralls with min. $100 payout
- mid hour special $100 Jackpot + your wager
6pm EST - 12am/2am EST
- at least 2 x $10,000 min. Coveralls with min. $100 payout per hour
- at least 4 x 3 part pari-mutuels with $25 starting pots
- Part 1: $2 Starting
- Part 2 : $8 starting
- Part 3: $15 starting
- mid hour special game $100 Jackpot + your wager
Mid-Week Fair N’ Square Bingo Event
Here’s another idea we’re playing with, how about a mid-week Fair N’ Square bingo tournament where everyone receives equal cards for a chance to win a ton of big guaranteed pots?
- everyone gets 10 cards every game
- we can play this in the evenings 6pm to 8pm or 10pm to 12am EST or in the afternoon 4pm to 6pm? your thoughts?
Sample Games:
- $3 flat games $100 guaranteed pots 3 x per hour
- $1.50 flat games $50 guaranteed pots 3 x per hour
- $4 flat games $250 guaranteed pots 1 x per hour (top of the hour)
- $5 flat games $500 guaranteed pots 1 x per hour (mid hour)
What do you think?

I love the “Mid-Week Fair N’ Square Bingo Event” idea. I live in PDT so the 10-12 EST is great for me. I would pay $5 for guaranteed $500 pot. I love the new ideas!!!! I don't know what the $100 jackpot + your wager is but am looking forward to finding out!!!

Hi moncamoncha, glad to hear it! The $100 games + your wager means that we will start the game pot for you by $100 and then as you and other players in the game wager, the pot size will increase. So the more players, the bigger the pot.
Hope this clarifies … if not, let me know

luvmy5kids here with my new name!
I love the new ideas! They all sound great! As for the times for the fair 'n square, the 4-6 is a little early for me since I'm 2 hours behind that time but would probably do my best to make it anyways…lol. I did want to say with that though, as I said in my previous post when you were asking for suggestions, I would like the ability to pick my own cards. I don't like not being able to select new cards if I don't like the ones that are given to me and that's my main problem with those games and why I rarely play them. Of course, with pots like those, I'd probably play anyways but would like the ability to change my cards if I wanted to.
Thanks for the awesome job you guys are doing on making this the best site!

wow, great new Alias “1RedHotMama”
I'll speak with Beth regards the auto select cards and see if there's anything that we can do to give you the ability to choose your own cards. Thanks for the feedback.

Great idea!! You did it again Bingo Vega WTG

Mid-Week Fair and Square sounds like a lot of fun. We have east/west coast players as well as players from all over.
As usual you can see Vega cares about the players and wants your opinion. Let them know what you think. Be sure to let them know when you would like to see it and your opinions on all the above suggestions.
Joel,
Would they be able to prebuy for event??
REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN FUN FUN EVERYONE

I'm looking to get away from the tradition “bingo” type games that are played at a shower. I'm hoping for something that is more modern.
13bva102008 on May 20, 2009 at 6:25 am:

14ROZIEPOZIE on May 20, 2009 at 8:31 am:
sooo when do we get these fun games??
15Joel on May 21, 2009 at 6:04 am:
KissMyRedShoupe thanks for your comment, but I'm a little heart broken to hear you feel that we would just do what we want. If that was the case, we'd just make the changes and tell you here are the changes.
That's not how we do business.
Instead, we understand that this is your community and site. We're here to create the best entertainment experience for you. We can only do this by giving you a voice in helping us create the games and specials you'd love to play and win.
Nothing has yet been finalized as we're waiting for more feedback from BingoVegans. But you're absolutely right that the 3 part Tues. & Thursdays games are popular but to make room for the bigger prizes and games, we may not be able to schedule them in their regular time slot.
Here are some ideas for you to continue the 3 part games:
Fridays & Saturday tournaments – right after the Asteroid room, we will be improving the Friday and Saturday tournaments. In the new sessions, we can include these 3 part games. Not only that, we can host bigger guaranteed parts. So instead of $150 guaranteed broken into 3 parts, we can look at offering you $250, $300, $400 and even $500 guaranteed in 3 parts.
How does that sound?
As you can see, we value our valued member's suggestion such as yourself. Hope this blog and our new way of proposing changes shows you that we're not like other online bingo sites. At BingoVega we want to give you a voice to shape your own bingo experience.
If you want bigger guaranteed multi-parts, then all you need to do is let us know. We're always listening : )
Thanks for caring enough to voice your opinion. I really do appreciate it.
