Bingo Game Ideas for The Asteroid Room

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

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)

Asteroid Room and Improved Bingo Games

asteroid-bingo1Hey BingoVegans, I need your help please…

As you’ve been experiencing, the new and improved Bingo Vega, more than ever is about exciting and big prizes. Over the last few weeks, we’ve made important strides with improving your bingo experience at Vega; just last month, we introduced three key improvements for the Asteroid Room:

  1. Extended Friday & Saturday Asteroid Bingo Room hours from 6pm to 12am to 6pm to 2am EST
  2. Hosted CM along with chat games
  3. Injection of a new min. $1,000 Bingo progressive Asteroid room available on all games 

But we’re not done yet … our next focus is to improve the bingo schedule in the Asteroid room by giving you more of the games you love to “play & win” and kick any boring games you don’t like, to the curb :)

Before we go all “samady sam” on the Asteroid bingo schedule, we want to hear from you first:

What type of games would you like to see in the Asteroid room moving forward?

All ideas and suggestions are welcome. Please let me know by leaving your feedback in the comment box below. Thank you and I really appreciate your help.




Bingo Progressive Jackpots at BingoVega

Hi all, this is an update on the new and improved Progressive Jackpots at BingoVega. As you all know, last Friday, we got trigger happy on the Bingo Progressive Jackpots announcement; we should have highlighted clearly that the only room right now that has PJP active on all games is Milky Way.

The Asteroid and Nickel room PJPs are being setup now. Just the amount of work involved to manual update each game is very time consuming. But we’re working around the clock to have all the PJPs setup for you. We then went on to update you:

because of not delivering on our promise of April 1st, we’ve decided to make it up to you with several extra guaranteed free bingo cash games the day the Asteroid and Little Dipper PJPs go live

Now, this past weekend, we had three lucky PJP winners just in the Milky Way – a big congratulatory shout out goes out to our three lucky winners:

  1. RoziePozie $2692.09 Progressive on Sunday April 5th
  2. marias5 $928.85 Progressive on Friday, April 3rd
  3. prettyredbingo $568.28 on Saturday, April 4th

We noticed a few things that we’d like to tweak with the PJPs

Milky Way minimum $750 PJP

Right now, the PJP in the Milky way resets to $500 after a win. This needs to be updated on our end with the help of our tech team so that after a PJP win, the minimum PJ starts right back up at $750 (We’ll have this resolved soon)

Quick & Short Patterns Room

Quick and short bingo patterns are very exciting and fun. We think, having a stand alone bingo room at BingoVega for just quick and short patterns like the 6 pack, 4 pack, any lines, etc. with its own progressive jackpot would be VERY exciting. We’d open this room as a trial run at two or three times per week for a few hours. Each game will have Progressive and we can start the PJP at $100. Card cost could vary from nickel, dime, quarter and fifty cent.

Question: Would you enjoy a quick and short pattern bingo room with its own Progressive?




Another Whack at $5,000 Guaranteed in 75 Calls

As you remember, back on December 6th we hosted a guaranteed $5,000 coverall game, which 3 lucky members (redforbingo, glor55, Gailnks) shared the grand prize. We want you to have another shot at $5,000 guaranteed before the year ends. So how about it, will you join us on Saturday, December 27th for another shot at $5,000 guaranteed?

If you’re planning to, then be sure to let us know in the comment box below…who knows, maybe just before the game kicks off, you might just find a little good luck bonus in your account … of course complimentary of the Vega fairy : ) … don’t forget to include your Bingo Vega alias so the Vega fairy knows who to credit. (the cut off time will be 8pm EST on Saturday, December 27th)

Happy Holidays and hope all your wishes come true this holiday season.

p.s. Rumor has it, head CM will be blogging more frequently in ‘09. Let the gossip begin.




What would you do if you won the $5,000 guaranteed coverall in 75 calls?

On December 6th, Bingo Vega will be hosting a $5,000 guaranteed coverall game in 75 calls.  One lucky winner will be able to take away a whopping FIVE GRAND CASH.   Over the weekend, I thought a lot about what I would do if I had an extra 5k in my pocket.  Having $5,000 would help out a lot when it comes to the holiday season; I would restock my bar, double the gifts that Santa will bring the kids, and probably keep a little extra for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Then I thought about what I would do if I had to spend the $5,000 only on myself.  After much thought, I’ve narrowed it down to buying a new guitar or taking a vacation.

I’ve been playing guitar most of my life and have amassed a decent collection of instruments.  Since I haven’t purchased a guitar in over 5 years,  I’m finding myself quite bored with what I have.  It seems that every time I go into a music store, I’m star struck.  It’s like I’m 8 years old again with a dollar in my pocket, staring at the many rows of candy at the corner store.  I simply want everything.  However, there is one beautiful electric that I’ve wanted for quite some time now; a black Gibson Les Paul.

If I were to ever own this guitar, I would spend every day playing it.  I would polish it and treat it like the legend that it is.  I would share my bed with it, having rock star dreams at night, only to wake up and wish it a good morning.  I would always remember to open my car door for the Les Paul, and my baby and I would only go to the fanciest of restaurants.

On the other hand, a vacation would be nice.  I would either go on a snowboarding trip, or somewhere warm.  It would be perfect to lounge near a pool and enjoy drinks that come with a little umbrella.   I can imagine eating exotic foods (not cranberry sauce), playing a couple rounds of golf, and enjoying amazing sunsets.  Since I’m petrified of the ocean, I could just lounge on the beach and slowly fall asleep; waking up a few hours later only to realize I’m badly sunburned and had my glasses on the whole time.

So what would you do if you won the $5,000 game?  Would you use it “responsibly” and pay bills or help with the holiday expenses?  Or would you blow it all on a new home theatre, down payment for a new car, or to take a vacation?  What would you do if you were holding five grand in cold hard cash in your hand, right now?
