“Pingo Poker Bingo” is an all new fun way to play Bingo. Traditional Poker games are combined with the traditional game of Bingo. Even if the Player doesn’t win the Bingo portion of the game he has a second chance to win the Poker portion of the game. There are 75 Bingo balls in the Bingo hamper that are randomly called along with 52 Poker Cards that are randomly dealt. They are matched or combined together as each Bingo Ball is called. If the number on a called Bingo ball matches the number represented on any of the 21 Bingo cards, that space is marked with the Poker card assigned to that Bingo number. Bingo numbers are called until either the player bingo card or one of the virtual bingo cards achieves a bingo. The bingo can be either made in a row, column or diagonal or four corner bingo patterns. If the Player’s Bingo Card achieves a Bingo the Player is awarded 500 credits. Once a Bingo has been reached on one of the Bingo cards, the remaining unmatched spaces on the player’s Bingo card are assigned a single playing card from the remaining poker cards in the deck. Poker hands are then formed from the 5 horizontal lines, 5 vertical lines and the 2 diagonal lines that make up the Bingo card matrix. The highest winning Poker hand is then paid from each of the 12 lines. Additionally, depending on how many poker cards were assigned to each row during the Bingo portion of the game the poker hand payouts are multiplied as follows: If no poker cards were assigned during the Bingo portion of the game then a winning Poker hand is paid at 1X its normal payout, if 2 Poker Cards were assigned then the winning Poker hand is paid at 3x its normal payout out, if Poker hands were assigned during the Bingo portion of the game then the player is awarded 5x the normal Poker payout and if the player Bingo Card has assigned five Poker card during the Bingo Portion of the game he would not only have won a Bingo award but will be paid 25x the normal Poker payout for any winning Poker hand achieved.
Latest reviews of PingoPro app for iPhone and iPad
OK...so I got this app, since I am both a fan of bingo and poker. The concept sounded interesting and fun (still could be), although I was already a little disappointed in not playing against real people. If that were the only problem.... This game can play itself, which it should since the rules are practically non-existent and what few there are (mostly about what each of the many buttons do) are hard to understand for the average person. I started the game anyways figuring Id figure it out along the way. HA!! The balls are drawn and placed on a non-ranked playing card of the 4 different suits. Next, on your only bingo card, you watch as the computer marks your numbers for you--taking away the big part of the fun for bingo, as well as the chance for human error. Then, the numbers on your card turn into mini playing cards flashing some of the lines. I am going to have to assume they were winning poker hands because they were too small to tell for me...well, anything except what suit they were. Lastly, it tells you what you won, and then you can start all over again. It was sadly lacking in any human input value, multiplayer (as I said, I already knew that), clear rules/instructions, and...did I mention that while I was attempting the second game my keyboard popped up for some completely unknown reason (since you dont do anything except sit back and watch), and there was no way to get it to go away except close it out. This game also offers a chat feature in which you can pick out a pic and a name. I did not attempt it so I cant say anything either way. While it does still seem to have a lot of potential to be quite fun, I would recommend staying away from it...at least for now.
I love poker and bingo. Very cool looking game with really good pay tables. If your looking for a amazing graphical fun playing bingo game. This is a must download.
