Planet 67 Bingo
Have you ever pondered whether we are alone in the universe? Take a trip to Planet 67 with this new-fangled online bingo game from Red Rake Gaming, offering punters the chance to come face to with some groovy little green men. There are four bingo cards to play with at any one time with the chance to win up to 1,800x prizes on each active card.
Of course, this game might take a bit of getting used to, especially if you are a bingo player who is not familiar with the instant bingo format. However, the game will become quite intuitive after a few goes and, with some high volatility game play, persistent punters might just be rewarded with some wins that are out of this world.
Close Encounters of the Bingo Kind
The universe is full of mysteries. Like how do they get the jam inside a jam doughnut? How does Chris Evans still get work on television and radio? Does life exist on other planets? Well, we can't answer the all of those questions, but we can tell you that this game puts forward some convincing evidence that there is extra-terrestrial life out there in the deep dark cosmos (disclaimer: this “evidence” has not been verified by NASA, or anyone for that matter).
Planet 67 is an online bingo game that is set on a distant alien planet, allowing punters to meet some alien life form while being in with the chance to win some serious dosh. Admittedly, the game's design is more like a childish cartoon than an episode of The X-Files, but this doesn't mean that players won't have their imaginations captured by the animated graphics which involve aliens rolling around in piles of gold and UFOs beaming down heaps of cash.
Beam Me Up, Scotty
Playing Planet 67 might be a little bit of a daunting prospect to some players, and that's not just because the game features some strange beings from another planet. The thing is that the gameplay of this online bingo game is completely different to that of the bingos that we normally review on this site. So, it might take a few goes before you can get a grip of the controls and the various ways to win.
The game screen of the game consists of four separate bingo cards, each of which contains 15 randomly chosen numbers between 1 and 60 (punters simply need to click on a card to mix up the numbers). Players can opt to play with just one card or, alternatively, they can trigger all four cards at once for extra chances to win with each turn. The minimum wager that is available to play with when all four cards are in play is 400 game credits while the maximum possible stake is 2,800 credits.
Once punters are happy with the cards on the screen and the size of the stakes in play, they simply need to hit the play button, which will cause 30 bingo balls to be selected at random. If any of he balls match the numbers on the cards then they will be crossed off. However, the real aim of the game is to create patterns of crossed-off numbers. You can see all of the winning patterns and their relevant prize returns at the top of the game screen, revealing the game's base game jackpot of 1,800x per card.
Bonus Bingo Balls
Just because Planet 67 isn't an online bingo, it doesn't mean that it won't offer a bit of bonus game play. In fact, this game is full of little surprises thanks to an exciting “extra ball” feature that is triggered at random after any turn. When this feature is triggered, a troupe of alien characters will appear on the screen and players will be able to buy extra balls to potentially complete winning patterns.
If you get really lucky, then you might be find a wild “0” ball which will allow you to pick the most valuable gap to fill. There is also a chance to find a “Free Ball”, which basically means that the next extra ball is free of charge.
Players should keep an eye out for the special jackpot ball, because if this golden sphere falls during the main game or extra ball side game, then players will win the progressive jackpot kitty that is shown in the top left hand corner of the screen.
Summary
Planet 67 just doesn't quite have the same amount of adventure and anticipation as an action-packed bingo. However, there is still the chance to win some serious money with the online bingo game, with a very handsome base game jackpot as well as a progressive jackpot kitty.
