Big money is on the cards at Tombola Bingo

Play Tombola Bingo

Tombola Bingo is holding a weekend of linked Cinco games this Easter, with a total of £200,000 up for grabs.

While the site’s main business is bingo, Cinco – pronounced ‘sinko’ – is a crossover between bingo and cards, and instead of matching numbers to balls as they are drawn, players instead must match the cards in their hand to those dealt from a central deck.

As with bingo, the winner is the first person to successfully match all of the cards in their hand – and there are big jackpots for doing so as quickly as possible.

Clear your hand in the first five calls, and you can win up to £20,000 for a 40p stake; in six calls you can win up to £2,000, and in seven calls you can net an extra £1,000, with these sums paid immediately into winning members’ accounts.

This Easter weekend, however, a quick win could be even more lucrative than usual, as for the first time, Tombola Bingo are linking all of the different Cinco rooms together – and that should mean big jackpots are up for grabs.

In a blog post, the site says: “We’ve got something happening this Easter that’s hotter than a hot cross bun… Hop along and join us from Thursday 28th March to Monday 1st April, 8pm-10pm.”

And if you needed any more persuading, then look away from Cinco and focus instead on the site’s Roller-Coaster game, yet another imaginative variation on bingo that involves filling a roller-coaster carriage with passengers.

To win the maximum £5,000 jackpot, all you need to do is complete the task in the first five calls – something one West Yorkshire member managed on Monday, March 25th.

The player, known by her username of xcollywobblesx, saw her five passengers drawn first in one of the morning games of Roller-Coaster, with the £5,000 jackpot paying into her account as a result.

Other lucky Tombola members in recent days include arf-arted, who not only scored a £1,000 prize win on Lucky 7, but also completed the bonus challenge of uncovering all of his Lucky 7 tiles in the same game.

This doubles your prize – meaning arf-arted got a cash injection of £2,000 directly into his member account.

With a long bank holiday weekend coming up, there are bound to be more people playing than usual at Tombola, which should see prizes swell slightly anyway.

But with seasonal bonuses like the linking of the Cinco rooms on top of that, there’s never been a better time to get stuck in for the chance of scooping a truly huge jackpot.
