B- Buying Cards: (Refer to Fig 1-# 1 & 2)
- While a game is being played, a player can buy into the next game to be played.
If a player sits down at the table in between games a timer (see fig 6 below) will
indicate the time to the next game. To buy into a game a player needs to have enough
money to buy cards for the game. The money is first deducted from the player’s
real account, and if no real money is available, then the remainder is deducted
from the bonus bucks account.
- Once seated at the bingo table you need to make sure that you have bought cards
for the next Bingo game. You can do this by selecting the amount of cards you want
to play. The amount of cards to buy can be adjusted by clicking the 6, 12, 24, 48,
60 and MAX buttons .You can then optionally increase/decrease the amount of cards
to buy by clicking the “<” and “>” buttons. See Figure
7 below
- Once you have chosen the amount of cards that you would like to buy click on the
BUY NOW button to buy cards and to be included in the next bingo game. The card
prices will vary from game to game depending on which Bingo game you are playing.
- If both “real” and “bonus bucks” accounts have insufficient
funds, the player won’t be able to join the game and he/she will be asked
if he/she wants to purchase additional credits. Each game has a minimum and maximum
allowable number of cards. To qualify for a buy-in the player has to buy at least
the minimum, and not more than the maximum allowable number of cards.
- Auto play button- If you want to leave your PC, and still be included in the next
game you can tick the auto play box. You will be prompted to enter an amount of
cards to purchase for each possible card denomination. Once you have chosen the
amount of cards that you would like to buy you click on the buy cards tab.See Figure
8 below.
- Total purchase amount -The total amount that you purchased for that specific game
will be displayed next to “this purchase” see diagram below.
C- Current Game Info: (Refer to Fig 1-# 3)
This is the information on the current 90 Ball Bingo game that is being played.
- In 90 Ball Bingo you will be eligible to win the prize if you get Bingo on any of
the following 3 patterns: One Line, Two Lines and Full House.
- The prize amount depends on the number of players participating in the game and
the number of cards purchased.
- If a player gets Bingo on the One Line pattern, the player will be credited accordingly
with the One Line prize .The One Line prize will then be greyed out, meaning that
the prize has been won. Players are then allowed to play for the Two Lines prize
and once that has been won the Full House prize becomes available.
-
Jackpot : All games are played for a Jackpot. The Jackpot is won by the first player
to achieves bingo within a certain predefined “number of balls” If there
is no winner of the jackpot in a certain game the jackpot is rolled over the next
game. Jackpots are site specific and can thus only be won by players within that
specific site. Jackpots can be changed and can vary according to hours of play and
patterns.
If the jackpot is won it will automatically reset back to the minimum jackpot amount
that is set for that hour. If the jackpot is won by a non qualified player (Player
who has not made a first deposit) the jackpot amount won will then be added back
to the next Jackpot.
-
MegaVault : The MegaVault is a Progressive Jackpot and varies proportionally to
the card price played. It is played across all participating Leapfrog Gaming sites,
and so it is possible for the jackpot to be won at another participating site. The
starting value for this jackpot is £10,000 for a £1 card, and therefore £1,000 for
a 10p card, etc.
The MegaVault Prize can only be won when a Full House pattern is playing. If there
is going to be a Full House playing then a little ‘i’ will appear below
the MegaVault meter. See Figure 9 below. If you click on the little ‘i', a
pop up window will appear on your screen, which specifies the number of cards required
to be eligible for the MegaVault jackpot: See Figure 10 below.
The MegaVault is funded at a rate of 1% of bingo wagering. In the unlikely event
that a MegaVault prize is won at two participating sites at very close to the same
time, then the jackpot amount displayed may not have had sufficient time to correctly
reflect the initial win. In this case, the first player to hit the jackpot will
get be awarded the progressive jackpot and the second player to hit the jackpot
will be awarded the starting value as stated above.
Where the progressive jackpot is won (i.e. the specified number of balls to Bonanza
/ MegaVault is achieved) during a bingo game, then the regular jackpot is carried
forward to the next bingo game. In other words, the regular jackpot is not won during
the same game where a progressive jackpot has been won.
-
See the Figure below. In the example below the One Line prize is greyed out.
- Information on the number of Balls to Jackpot – All 90 Ball Bingo games have
a Jackpot that is won if a player gets bingo within the specified number of balls.
In the figure below the number of balls required to win the jackpot is 42.
- Information on the number of Balls to Megavault – Certain 90 Ball Bingo games
have a Progressive Jackpot that is won if a player gets bingo within the specified
number of balls

blue “i” on the screen.
- Bonus cards- The number of bonus cards will be displayed in the next game section
only and will vary from Game to Game. If for example next to ‘’bonus
card’’ you will see 6:3.This simply means that in the next game you

- Impact of Disconnection
Once a player has purchased cards for a game, then no further game interaction is
required from the player to complete that game. Thus, in the event of a player being
disconnected, the game will be completed without a player's presence, and all winnings
will be credited to the player's account.
If a player has purchased cards for the subsequent game and that game had not yet
started at the time of disconnection, then the player will not be included in the
subsequent game and any monies deducted for that game will be refunded.
Please note that if a player is disconnected while playing a currently active bingo
game, then the player will only be able to log in again after that game has completed.
