We were expecting Mobile Phone Bingo to start hitting UK online bingo sites in a big way this year and from the looks of things the new (Mobile Phone Bingo Era) is well and truly beginning to make an impact. Gone Bingo who are part of the best bingo network have just introduced mobile bingo and slot games that can be played direct from mobile phones which support the latest generation touch and smart phones.

This means that if you are out and about you can now play bingo with Gone Bingo on the go, in your car (as a passenger of course) on the bus, train, on your lunch break at work, in fact as long as you have a mobile phone signal, you will be able to play bingo and slots whether you are without the need of a PC.

If you are an existing player at Gone Bingo you can download their software direct to your mobile phone from the internet web browser on your phone, by logging onto their online bingo site and following the on screen instructions. Once you have done this you can then access Gone Bingo from your mobile phone, by using your usual login details (username and password). Gone Bingo are currently offering all players a free £20 bingo bonus to check out their new mobile bingo games and this is open to all players at their bingo site both old and new.

Not all mobile phones will support online bingo and slot gaming, so Gone Bingo have issued a few pointers to help you ascertain whether your mobile can be used for online mobile gaming or not. At the moment bingo and slot games can only be played on mobile phones that have a screen width of at least 176 pixels. Your mobile must have JAVA MIDP 2.0 or higher and at least 5mb of free memory. You can contact your phone provider to see if your mobile does meet these requirements or the customer support team at Gone Bingo, who will be only too happy to help.

Gone Bingo estimate that a player would use around 5kb of data when logging on and playing their mobile slot games and around 10kb of data for bingo. These are only estimates though, so real time numbers may be different. There is no additional charge by Gone Bingo to play their bingo and slot games on your mobile phone, but you would be charged your normal network tariff for your mobile phone connection, if you are unsure what this is, then contacting your mobile phone provider might be a good idea, before playing bingo via your mobile phone.

Some are predicting that Mobile Phone gaming will rival online bingo in years to come, but you just never do know which way players will go.
