Penny bingo on Sun Bingo – how to play bingo for a penny

PENNY bingo is a great way to play bingo without a big cost. A penny might not get you far in life, but at Sun Bingo it can pay for a game of bingo.

Penny bingo has been around for a long time. It's a staple favourite with bingo fans, and it's easy to see why!

A small cost but a potentially big prize - sounds pretty good right?

What is penny bingo? 

Players can purchase a ticket for just 1p to enter a bingo room.  

Penny bingo has managed to stay true to itself despite inflation going up.

There isn’t much else you can get for a penny these days, even penny sweets aren’t quite as advertised.  

How do you play penny bingo? 

Much like other bingo formats, penny bingo is a game in which players purchase a ticket upon entering the bingo room or lobby.  

Generally speaking, penny bingo rooms may only open at specific times of the day.

Make sure you find out when these rooms open; you may not be able to just turn up on site and have the option to play penny bingo. 

Penny bingo games don’t have a set number of balls, so it could be a 75-ball, 80-ball or 90-ball game.  

HOW TO PLAY FREE BINGO WITHOUT PAYING A DEPOSIT

What are the pros and cons of penny bingo? 

The main benefit is the low cost. Whether you’re a newbie wanting to dip your toes into the world of bingo or a seasoned pro at dabbing, you might want to play without a big cost.

That’s where this bingo format is a good choice.   

Naturally, penny bingo can also have smaller total prizes and jackpots, given that the cost of play is lower.

There can also be a high number of players in the games, who have also been attracted by the low play cost.  

However, that also means that the room chat is more likely to be buzzing as there are more roomies.  

So, whether penny bingo is for you may depend on what kind of bingo session you want to play.

It’s not the best room for a potentially large win, but it’s a great space for chatting to roomies and having fun while playing bingo at a low cost.
