Beetle Bingo

Beetle Bingo – as the name implies – is a free-to-play online bingo and scratchcard game using beetles instead of balls – what could be more fun than that? In this game, Playtech have captured the best bits of traditional scratchcard and bingo, and that ticks all the boxes for us. Play it now for free at Free Slots.

Beetle Bingo players are invited to shake a jar of bingo beetles and watch as they scurry out on to the screen. The aim of the game is to match the numbers on the beetles to the numbers on the player’s scratchcard. Sounds fun? It is. Sounds easy? It is. Free to play? Of course it is.

How to play

Playing Beetle Bingo couldn’t be easier, get started by following these simple steps:

• You begin by clicking on “play” on the bottom right side of the screen.
• Then click on the “shake” option on the jar which releases the beetles.
• Fifteen random beetles (numbered between 1 and 90) will be released from the jar.
• Then select the “scratch” option on the scratchcard, which will reveal three different lines, each showing five different numbers (between 1 and 90)
• The aim of the game is to match five numbers from a line on the scratchcard to the numbers on the beetles.
• You have three lines of numbers on their scratchcard. In order to win, five numbers from one line on the scratchcard must be matched with five numbers from the fifteen beetles.
• You can win up to three times in one game.

Special Features and ways to win

A number of special features are available in the Beetle Bingo Scratch Card game:

• You can choose the “scratch all” option, which essentially speeds up the game by revealing all of the scratchcard numbers and beetle numbers at once.
• You can avail of the shuffle function, which allows you to choose another card up to three times prior to starting any game.
• An autoplay option allows you to set up to ninety-nine consecutive games automatically. You can terminate this function by clicking on “Stop”.
• You can win by matching five numbers from the scratchcard lines to the numbers on the beetles.

Music, Audio and Graphics

There is no background music in Beetle Bingo (which can sometimes be a good thing!). The game features sound effects such as the shaking of the jar, the crawling of the beetles, etc. When you win, a short triumphant burst of music is heard, which adds a little fun.

The graphics here are no frills, 2D animations. The game has a colored paper or cardboard cut-out feel about it, which we here at Free Slots found to be quite charming.

The Last Word

A simple but effective offering from Playtech here. No stunning graphics or bonus rounds, but a fun and simple online scratchcard-bingo hybrid. As mentioned before, the graphics have a cute feel about them and nothing gets in the way of the game play. We think players might want to avail of the “Scratch all” option as it may be more fun to match the numbers as the beetles come out of the jar. All in all, a good effort, 7/10, and we’re delighted to offer you the chance to play Beetle Bingo for free at Free Slots Asia.
