Gameplay is a core part of our The Sun Bingo reviewing process, especially since its title announces one of the featured gaming categories. Even though this is primarily a bingo site, it provides options for casino-style players, too, starting with slots.

In terms of providers, we cannot speak of the same degree of diversity. Since the gambling site runs on Playtech platforms, most available gaming solutions come from this supplier. Although Playtech is a favorite amongst British players, we would have preferred a wider array of developers to be on display.

Slots

The slots section has around 240 titles, all coming from famous providers. However, a novelty in this category is the Slingo option. Coming from the identically-named software provider, this type of play proposes a merge between two play styles – slots and bingo. The top games in terms of popularity, according to the website, are:

One of these leading titles falls under the Slingo subcategory. This class is a hybrid between slot and bingo play – you’ll see the familiar 5×5 grid, but you also have a slot reel at the bottom of the page. Matching five symbols, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally is the way to beat the game. The elements borrowed from fruit machines are special features like:

• Jackpots;
• Extra spins;
• Coins;
• Devils – these symbols stop you from making matches on your grid, so they are an impediment.

The casino has a page dedicated to Slingo’s characteristics and rules – search ‘How to Slingo’ in the footer, right below the ‘Promotions’ article.

Bingo

The bingo section is only accessible to logged-in members. There are several variations on the game, including:

• 90-ball;
• 80-ball;
• 75-ball;
• Pattern – where gamblers complete the game by creating a mark on their ticket;
• 50-ball, available on the website under the name Mystic Meg Bingo;
• 40-ball;
• 36-ball.

Regardless of the variant you prefer, the game mechanics will be similar – you must cross off the numbers on your ticket and create a line or pattern to secure a positive outcome. These products are available in bingo rooms, where you may also find promotions specific to this play category.

Table Games

The table section has few titles to represent it. Furthermore, Blackjack and Roulette fans may find their favourite games here, but we cannot say the same of Baccarat enjoyers. The standout product here is Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette, coming from Playtech. Besides being a table version of a world-famous slot, it connects to a progressive jackpot, which is exceedingly rare for Roulettes.

Live Blackjack

Known for having the highest RTP of all gambling options, Blackjack receives its fair share of representation. The top titles are Blackjack Live and Unlimited Blackjack Live, both courtesy of Playtech.

Live Roulette

Playtech’s Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette has a live version, too. Like its software counterpart, it connects to an escalating jackpot. Besides this option, you can play the original French variant.

Usability

Compatibility with multiple devices is essential for an online casino, especially nowadays. This is why we tested the platform on laptop, mobile, and tablet in our Sun Bingo review. You can see what gadgets we used to conduct our research and give you a complete account of your future gambling experience.

Desktop Interface Verdict

The platform’s layout is kind to the eyes. The red-and-white colour scheme is subdued enough not to create a stark contrast. However, the most striking aspect is its overall performance: site-testing tool GTmetrix gives it a grade-A rating. It considered the following points:

• Speed: a fast website should load in 1.3 seconds, and this one manages the feat in 0.5 seconds;
• Time until it becomes completely interactive: 0.1 seconds, while most leading sites barely reach the 2.5 s benchmark;
• Blocking time: this refers to the scripts stopping the webpage from loading. Here, this is not an issue at all.

Another positive in our book was the accessibility to information. Even though the pages’ content itself might not always be the most comprehensive, all buttons are accessible from the website’s footer. So, for example, reaching The Sun Bingo bonuses page is remarkably easy, as you can click on it both from the header and the site’s footer.

Mobile Interface Verdict

The gambling site also created two apps to accommodate mobile players. You can access them from the App Store and the Play Store, respectively.

iOS App Verdict

The iOS version is well-received: downloaders rated it 4.2/5. Most of them lauded the promotional variety, along with the application’s ease of use. Overall, the smartphone iteration retained the positive aspects of the Desktop website.

Android App Verdict

The Google Play Store members are even more favourable to the app, with a 4.3/5 rating. This comes from over 100,000 installers, who primarily appreciated customer services. Here, like iOS, developers respond to the players’ appreciations or complaints, offering thanks and solutions. A point of contrition is that both apps update rarely, once every six months or so.

The applications run as smoothly on tablets, with the sole difference being the screen width.

Vip Programme

Numerous The Sun Bingo bonuses offer you loyalty points. But, what are these points, and how do they work? This is a bingo-only scheme – for each £1 you stake on such games, you will receive comps. Similar to a VIP system, the loyalty programme is tiered, and you shall gather more tokens the higher you go in rank:

Regardless of rank, you are up for a £1 bingo bonus whenever you gather 700 comps and £1 in cash for each 1000 loyalty points. Remember that you have 90 days to use your current point balance – afterward, it will expire, and you must start anew.

Although the site has a VIP system, there is no information on what this status will bring you. The sole available knowledge is that Diamond users have access to this system.
