Lycos Inc. today announced "the cash is back" in a new version of an old favorite with the all-new Bingo Zone(R) on Gamesville.com. Bingo Zone was the first game launched by Gamesville in 1996, and the web's first "free bingo game for real cash prizes”.Because Bingo Zone is advertiser-supported, it is always free to play, yet pays winners real cash. Prizes start at $1 and increase by $1 periodically until someone wins. In addition to progressive cash prizes, the new Bingo Zone now includes:
-Fresh design with larger cards and clearer patterns for enhanced readability
-Unique bonus game, "Dickie's Bonus Balls," played via in-game chat
-Ability for players to select their own daubers
-Timed commercial breaks featuring both video and display ads
Over the years, Gamesville introduced other popular games with larger jackpot prizes, like Magic 21 and Three-Eyed Bingo. However, players are particularly excited to see the Bingo Zone make its triumphant return with smaller cash prizes and a whole new look.
