There are a load of new games hitting our screen during October and some definite themes emerging with the revival of classic TV shows, board games and the king of the casino himself, Elvis. Plus as X-factor fever grips the nation yet again there are a couple of great new games based on the show.


While Betfred Bingo doesn’t have new games as such it has re-launched its bingo product offering of 90 ball and 75 ball bingo using the most recent version of the award winning Playtech bingo software. So now there is both an Instant Flash game and a Downloadable version. Two ways for you to enjoy your bingo at Betfred Bingo, who claim to be THE chat game bonus kings.


King Jackpot Bingo has introduced a game based around the king of rock, Elvis, called ‘a little more action’. This is a whopper of a slot game with 50 paylines of hip gyrating excitement, it has stacked wilds to increase your chances of a big wins. Line up three of the bonus symbols on the middle reels and you win a ticket to the ‘Action Free Spins Bonus’ this bonus round comes not only with the classic soundtrack of ‘a little action’ but also 5 free spins on the bonus reels, which are more rewarding than the standard reels as they have more stacked wilds and even more bonus symbols. You can in fact trigger the Action Free Spins Bonus multiple times by getting the three bonus symbols on a free spin, you can get a maximum of 255 free spins for your entire bonus. It is certainly a game for kings, but if you don’t have speakers for your computer, get some, as this is audio experience is not to be missed. 
Celebrating 70 years of the game that remains a firm favourite, there is a Monopoly revival in the form of a 20 pay line slot and this new game allows you to choose more contemporary counters to play with including a mobile phone, skates and cheeseburger. Move around the board as usual and if you land on free parking you’ll win a bonus jackpots.
There is also a new Cluedo slot at King Jackpot and Bingo Liner, with a 'Who Won It?' bonus round. Set predictably on a dark and stormy night in a grand mansion on a country estate, with one dead body and multiple suspects it’s up to you to solve the mystery. 

The ‘who won it’ bonus  is a combination of a 15 pay line slot and skill play with multiple reward choices, but you must be careful what you choose as you eliminate your suspects as its a high stakes game.  To get to the 'Who Won It?' bonus round you need three 'Who Won It?' symbols on a pay line you have a bet on. You can bet up to 5 credits on each pay line and choose which ones you want to play, or there is of course the max bet option. Once you are in the bonus round you will receive your first reward offer and a magnifying glass moves across the suspects, rooms and weapons and when one is highlighted it is written on a notepad so eventually you will have a suggestion of a murderer, location and weapon with an offer amount as well, you can reject the offer and wait for the next one as you can have three in total but the amount can be higher or lower and you have to accept the third and final amount as your bonus.

With the return of the X Factor Love bingo and Gala bingo both have a new X-factor inspired game, Love Bingo has a great X Factor multi-tier bonus slot with a judges bonus,  boot camp and even a live finals round.
If you get 3 or more Judges Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels you will graduate to the judge’s bonus round, the more Judges Bonus symbols on your screen, the bigger the prize money.
You must face the judges and see what their verdicts are, if you receive a no from the first judge then that ends your bonus round. But a yes vote doubles your win and moves you onto the next judge. You can choose to collect your money here and end your bonus round or risk facing the second judge to double your money again or leave the bonus round empty handed and return to the main game if the judge votes no.
There is also a bonus boot camp round where 3, 4 or 5 ‘Boot Camp’ symbols on a pay line you’ve bet on will take you to. In Boot Camp you will receive free spins corresponding to the number of boot camp symbols that triggered the bonus round (i.e. 3, 4 or 5) the free spins will also be played for the same total bet as the spin that got you to the bonus round.

As in the TV show it is from boot camp that you can make it to the live finals, and in the game you need to keep hitting a ‘star’ symbol, these are tallied up for you and once to you get 10 you are through to the live finals.
In the live final you need to create a performance by choosing from various categories and you will be rewarded on three areas; Performance, Audience reaction and finally the judge’s verdict. Your selection does not affect the rewards offered to you; this is just for entertainment value. You can choose to take the reward offered or reject it and try again, but you only have three chances and must leave the live final with the third reward offer.  If you didn’t get all your free spins in boot camp before you got to the live final you will get to return to them.

Gala bingo also has a new x-factor scratch which will make you feel like a star if you win its £50k jackpot. There is also a new simple ‘Hat Trick’ scratch card where you just need to match 3 symbols to win and a Hole in the Wall instant win scratch so you can enjoy matching the shapes without having to wear the silly suit. Continuing on the telly theme there is a new Big Brother scratch card where you have to match three of the rooms in the new Big Brother house to win.

And a revival of some classic TV shows like Blankety Blank and The Price is right in scratch cards. Elvis is a classic symbol of cool and he has two new scratch cards ‘little more scratching’ and ‘rocking and rolling’, all these can be played at Gala bingo whilst your playing your favourite 90 ball bingo games or waiting for a game to start.
William Hill Bingo is also worth a look at the moment as they have just upped their game with three new bingo rooms, one for night owls, one for early risers and one called Willies Den that offers a huge range of value for money bingo games like BOGOF bingo and Barmey BOGOF bingo where you get two free (should be BOGTF, but I guess that’s not so easy to say).

There’s new games Thor's Thunder, a new five reel slot that you can play for literally pennies but it has an amazing jackpot of up to £50,000, and a new scratch card Beachside Bonanza, where you need to scratch 3 diamonds to win the progressive jackpot of up to £5,000.


In the pipeline for October including Bouncy Balls that could land you a whopping £50k jackpot, just for matching coloured balls, the Last chance Saloon scratch card and the Clover Countdown, a multiplayer slot variation on the popular clover rollover. You see how many points and prizes you can win in a given time (hence the countdown part) and the highest ranked players share the jackpot.
