Mecca Bingo – Games, Offers and App Evaluated
If you live in the UK, chances are, you have walked past one of the companies’ halls at least once (for bingo lovers it’s not even a question – you’ve surely enjoyed a game inside). Mecca Bingo has been a household name for over 70 years now, providing fun experiences for generations around the globe. Over 1.1 million customers yearly have chosen this as their game provider. Let’s find out why that is and walk you through the ins and outs.
- Welcome Offer: Spend £10, Get up to £120
- Don’t Miss On: Quick deposits & withdrawals
- You Can Play: 300+ Games and 56 bingo clubs nationwide
The site had a revamp last year so it’s even more modern, easy to navigate and up to scratch with the latest technologies in the industry. Let’s check how they compare with their competition at present.
The Game Range
As you can guess this is a place that has it all – from the classic variants of our favourite game through the latest slots to the scratch cards for when you can’t wait to try your luck – it is all at your fingertips.
Bingo Variations
You have the classic 90-, 75- and 80-ball bingo played across 23 rooms with different themes. To spice things up there is a long list of special features – linked and multi-stake games, roll-on bingo and the super fun Friendsy – you can add it to your bingo games, it gives an extra prize to everyone in the Friendsy when the owner wins the full house in a Friendsy feature game. If the prize doesn’t go, it just rolls right over to the next Friendsy game.
| Games Variety on Mecca | |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Available Bingo Variations: | 75-ball, 80-ball & 90-ball bingo, Friendsy, Roll-On Bingo, Special Games |
| Number of Rooms: | 20 |
| Ticket Price Range: | £0.01 – £1 |
| Featured Games: | Britain’s Got Talent, Deal or No Deal, Two Little Ducks |
You may have played some of those games on other Virtue Fusion sites, but let’s pick one – Two Little Ducks caught my eye. Pretty huge jackpots here – the progressive Mega Ball Booster with a minimum win of £10,000 is waiting to be won, once it goes it starts back from that sum again. For the Maxi Cash Collector, you need to claim full house prize on 38 balls and the minimum prize is £500. I had fun, you should give it a go too!
Other Games on the Site
Get ready to scroll down until your fingers hurt because the list of games here is so long, you will forget when you started! Over 280 options to pick from, all with different themes and jackpots – what a choice! For ease of use, the games can be divided into the following categories: slots, casino, keno, reactors, scratchcards and virtual sports.
And if you feel a bit retro, you can travel back to the 80s with the classic Rubik’s® Cube puzzle! Press the ‘Play’ button and the cube will rotate randomly. When it stops you’ll be awarded winnings based on how many completed sides and lines there are. You can try it for free or for real, for the latter you will need to log in.
Android and iPhone Apps
This operator has taken good care of both platforms with a dedicated application for each. If you have an account already there is no need to register again. You can simply sign in with your existing details. If you’re a newbie, don’t worry – all promos and extras apply just the same on your phone so go ahead and claim your bonus.

My Experience in Short
I totally loved the time I spent here. From landing on the funky home page, the ability to choose your colour scheme (yes, I am a big kiddo, aren’t we all) the chatty hosts and, of course, the generous welcome and fantastic selection of games to the all seamless process of transferring funds and reliable support ready to answer any of my questions. I absolutely recommend it and will be coming back soon!
