When Hippo Bingo first opened to players way back in 2011, Hettie Hippo was the character that greeted you on every visit to the site. However, changes implemented by the UK Gambling Commission meant that this loveable animal had to take a back seat. Although a watering hole remains on the homepage, Hetti is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the centre stage has been given to the welcome bonus for new players.

Powered by the popular Dragonfish software and under the Silverspin hat, this site offers you gameplay that’s built to suit all player types. From the novice to the stalwart online bingo fan, you will find everything you need when you step through the virtual doors of this site. Keep reading below to get the complete scoop in our Hippo Bingo Review!

Bingo Games and Slots

Hippo Bingo offers a good selection of bingo rooms and game variants as we have come to expect from a site powered by Dragonfish software. Over the years players have taken the other variants available to their hearts and where once 90 ball was considered the most popular amongst UK players, we’d say that the five-line (75-25) games are on a par now.

There is also the pattern version of the 75 ball game (75-24) available here, and two types of the 52 calls games; Fiver Fever and Bingo Roulette. You will find bingo games that cater to all budget types, starting with free bingo. Guaranteed jackpots, progressive jackpots, daily specials, etc, can all be found on this site too. The main lobby for bingo shows thumbnails of all the rooms and these boast details of what is happening in any particular room. The time until the next game, the jackpot value, the game type, and the number of players; this is just some of the information that can be seen. Both lobbies, slots and bingo, have categorised headings and the option to search by a room name or game title. This makes navigation easier.

With over 600 different instant win games to choose from, you won’t find boredom kicking in. This site has signed deals with many leading developers to list their titles in the portfolio of slots available and you’ll find many a popular game here. It could be that you are a fan of the classics like Fluffy Favourites or Shaman’s Dream from Eyecon, or maybe you prefer the Megaways games or the Slingo offerings. They are all to be found here.

These are complemented with a selection of casino and table games so there really is something for everyone.

Withdrawals are only permitted after verifying your account with valid ID documents and take up to 48 hours to process. It will then take a bit more time, varying based on the deposit option you choose.
