There are less than 2 weeks to go until St Patrick’s Day – the day that Ireland (and the UK and the US) celebrates the feast day of Ireland’s patron saint. If you want to mark the occasion with a bingo twist, we’ve got some great ideas for you to consider.
Go green with Bongo’s Bingo
Bongo’s Bingo is one of the most well-known live bingo events companies, and this year, it’s celebrating with a massive St Paddy’s Day show in Watford. The party is being held at Przym on Thursday, 16th March and will include dance-offs, karaoke, whacky prizes, rave rounds, bingo, and a whole lot more.
You can also attend Bongo’s Bingo St Patrick’s Day Specials at Duck Slatterys in Dundee and The Hub in Middlesbrough on 16th March, Epic Studios in Norwich on 17th March, and a student-only special at the Guild of Students in Liverpool on 19th March.
Spin an Irish-themed slot
Most online bingo sitesboast at least one Irish-themed slot game.
At sites like Gala Bingo, you’ll find an impressive array of titles including fan favourites like Rainbow Riches Pick ‘n’ Mix, Rainbow Cash Pots, 9 Pots of Gold (which offers a progressive jackpot), Luck O’ The Irish Fortune Spins 2, Irish Luck, Finn and the Swirly Spin, and Double Lucky Mushrooms. You can also check out the brand’s exclusive Pots O’ The Irish Link & Lock slot.
In addition, there are several new slots that game developers have been working on in the run-up to St Patrick’s Day 2023. They include 3 Lucky Leprechauns by 4ThePlayer, Leprechaun Heist by Blue Guru Games, Tippy Tavern by Snowborn Games, and an exciting new addition to Microgaming’s Mega Moolah jackpot network, Paddy’s Pot Mega Moolah.
Slingo with an Irish twist
One of the most popular online slots in history has been turned into a thrilling Slingo variant. Slingo Rainbow Riches comes with many of the famous bonus features that are included in the Rainbow Riches slot series. Plus, it offers big wins, extra multipliers, and free spins.
We hope that you have a wonderful St Patrick’s Day!
