It’s not every day we get to see a brand new bingo software, especially from established brands like Playtech. BUT on Tuesday, we did get a glimmer of what the future holds for bingo on this long-standing platform. Sea Bingo opened up to its fans on Tuesday… with some niggling issues, namely the inability to make a deposit. Shortly after, the link was pulled.

It was a real shame for the fans, but a big bonus for us as we got a glimpse of the new Playtech software. Sea Bingo will be the first site setting sail in this new ship, but we also hear Scarlet Bingo (a new bingo site we reported back in May) will also use the new HTML5 client.

Let’s have a step by step look at the new features:

Lobby:

It’s clear one of the key changes in this new Playtech bingo software is mobile first and this can be clearly seen from the lobby design. Nice big buttons, well-organised tabs, a countdown to the next game, lots of rooms on one screen… you could almost imagine this on a tablet screen. Switching tabs is smooth and almost instantaneous. We like.

Game room:

Jump into the game room and yet again you will find some interesting new features; a massive area for chat, some stylish ticket viewing and all sorts of buttons and slidey stuff… it’s certainly very slick looking. It’s almost geared towards the ability to buy tickets quicker and more efficiently. Good for players who like to bulk buy tickets.

Schedule:

This simplified ticket buying also translates to the brand new schedule tab. We think this section is a big winner; the ability to see upcoming games, multiple ways to buy tickets, clear information on prices & jackpots… wow. The only strange omission is the lack of information on what type of bingo is playing e.g 75 ball, 90 ball.

Slots:

Sea Bingo is only rocking 21 slots at the moment… but we are sure other slots will soon join once they have been given some of that HTML5 lovin’. Again – we have a more mobile optimised design with big buttons and clear options.

We really like the new design and think Playtech have produced a great bingo software; it’s definitely designed for simplicity with a high emphasis on mobile friendliness.

This new design will be rolling out to all Virtue Fusion brands this year… what a treat!
