bingo beats
- Studio: Playtech
- Our Rating: 6.4
You’ll find Playtech’s Bingo Beats at several Playtech-based online bingo sites, including Ladbrokes, Corals, and Gala Bingo. The game plays out very similarly to the Best Odds Bingo available over at Mecca’s sites and uses the same 50-Ball format. However, Bingo Beats lacks the progressive jackpot features offered in its competitor’s game.
At the time of writing, there were two Bingo Beats rooms to choose from – one labelled Love and the other Chakra. There are some minor visual differences between the rooms and alternative soundtracks (for those who choose to play with the music enabled), but the most significant change between the rooms is in the available ticket prices. Each room offers four stake levels, with Chakra being the cheaper of the two, but that room was sitting empty when I played as all players were busy gaming in the Love room instead!

bingo beats theme, tickets & prizes
Bingo BeatsYou’ll notice in the screenshots of Bingo Beats that the game looks extremely sparse when played on a laptop – it’s clear that this bingo game was developed with mobile players in mind. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, the game features a similar setup as the B.O.B. (Best Odds Bingo) offered over at Mecca, with the opening screen declaring that all players stand an equally high chance of winning every round.
As a speed bingo game, the tickets used in Bingo Beats feature just ten numbers each. Each player is limited to just one ticket per round, allowing the developer to make the cards a little more visually interesting than they tend to be in most 90 or 75-Ball bingo games. Instead of your ticket remaining static at the side of the screen, your ten numbers float around in bubbles until they are ‘popped’ after a matching call. There’s just a single prize available during each round, offered to the first player(s) to complete their entire bingo card, and this ensures a fast-paced game which tends to take just a couple of minutes per round.
In The Chakra room, the available ticket prices are 2p, 4p, 10p, and 16p, whilst the more expensive Love room ups these to 10p, 20p, £1, and £2. The prize offered for each ticket price varies according to the time of day and the number of players participating – at the time of writing, the full house prize stood at 25x the price of a single ticket. There’s also a limit of just 70 players in each room, so it stands to reason that you will never see the full house prize rise above around 60x the cost to play.
how to play bingo beats
Bingo Beats GameplayIf you are new to Speed Bingo or the 50-Ball format, the first thing to do is check out our dedicated guide elsewhere on the site – it includes a general guide to 50-Ball games and advice on where to play and a bunch of frequently asked questions. Next, you’ll need to choose which room you wish to play in – the lower the player count, the higher your chances of winning should be. But, on the other hand, fewer players also mean a smaller jackpot!
Like most Speed Bingo games, Bingo Beats offers just one prize for completing all ten numbers on your single ticket. The idea of limiting each player to just one ticket and enforcing a hard limit of 70 players per room is to ensure that Bingo Beats offers a high possibility of scoring a win. This does make the prizes the game offers relatively small compared to some other online bingo titles, but it also reduces the chance of two players winning on the same call. This is important, as when that occurs, the prize is divided equally between them, meaning you could end up with half or even a third or less of the standard jackpot prize.
bingo beats bonus rounds
Unfortunately, Playtech hasn’t included any special features in Bingo Beats. It’s a shame that they didn’t at least throw in a progressive jackpot, as the standard full-house price is definitely on the small side, in my opinion.
Pros
- A low number of tickets sold for each round ensures every player good odds.
- Nice looking game – at least if you choose to play on mobile.
- Fast-paced bingo means you can play a lot of rounds in a short amount of time.
Cons
- Very little in the way of special features to separate the game from other online bingo titles.
- Even with just a single prize per round, it doesn’t add up to much – a progressive jackpot would have helped spice things up.
bingo beats final thoughts
Judging from the sparse visuals and lack of features, I’m guessing this game was thrown together relatively quickly to compete with similar titles released elsewhere. That’s a shame, as I typically enjoy the 50-Ball speed bingo format – as it stands, there are better options available.
