I played Blackpool-themed games at Sun Bingo ahead of All Star Hotel

IN this Keep up with Katrina, I took my budget of £10 and focused on games that made me think of Blackpool.

To celebrate the return of All Star Hotel, I devoted this Sun Bingo gaming session to the slots that honoured some of Blackpool’s most iconic sites.

The All Star Hotel will soon be opening its doors once again to a whole new group of honoured guests and their plus ones.

There’ll be incredible singing, dancing, entertainment, games and maybe even a few mystery celebrity guests.

You can still win your tickets to join us. Check out all of the details that you need to know below.

Before that, read all about how my Blackpool-inspired gaming session played out.

Was it a towering success? Was it a pleasure to play? Shall I illuminate the details of what happened?

Let’s see how I got on…

Temple of Light

  • Spent £3.20
  • Won 10p

Perhaps synonymous with Blackpool are its world-famous illuminations.

Every autumn, six miles of the promenade are lit up with traditional festoons, tableaux scenes and interactive displays.

According to its own website, it’s “the greatest free light show on Earth!”

Our All Star Hotel guests will have the chance to check out the illuminations for themselves as they’ll be in full swing when they check in.

Temple of Light seemed like an apt choice to honour the illuminations.

The bright, neon colours of the game certainly capture the spirit of Blackpool’s lights.

However, once I clicked into the game, it became apparent that the aesthetic was more focused on the “temple” notion, with ancient statues, candles, stonework and music you’d expect from an Indiana Jones film.

There are the usual slot game elements, including Scatters, Wilds and two bonus games.

The game seemed like it would be an interesting take on the well-used Ancient World theme.

However, as most of my spins didn’t create one of the 20 winning paylines, I had little chance to explore the additional game components. 

Towers of Olympus

  • Spent £3.20
  • Won 12p

Although the connection between Tower of Olympus and Blackpool may not seem obvious, my thinking was that its skyline is dominated by its iconic tower.

Especially now that it is Strictly Come Dancing season, the tower will soon once again host an evening of waltzing celebrities.

The tower’s ballroom is a beautiful space, and all visitors have the chance to take a twirl for themselves.

Towers of Olympus not only pays homage to Blackpool’s tallest building (518ft) but it was also a chance to explore another slot game based in Ancient Greece, which is a personal favourite.

The player gets to feel like a mighty hero as the dramatic music creates a sense of adventure and excitement.

This is a 1024 ways game, with an additional “bet” function. It means that for a slightly increased bet amount, your chances of triggering a winning feature are increased.

WE HAVE DE-STRESS TECHNIQUES TO RECOMMEND

One criticism that I would have of this game is that it’s not very user-friendly when it comes to finding the game rules.

Personally, I like to check these out before I play so that I can full understand all of the potential outcomes of a spin.

Most games have these pages clearly labelled and easy to navigate.

It’s not necessarily enough to put a player off spinning but it’s something to think about if it’s important to your gaming experience.

As this was another game that didn’t add much to my winnings pot, I wasn’t able to explore whether there were many additional features.

From my personal experience, this game didn’t do much to stand out in the Ancient Greek genre that has big hitters such as the Age of the Gods franchise.

Diamond Sands

  • Spent £3.60
  • Won £1.29

I’ll admit, the connection between this game and Blackpool is the most tenuous of the bunch.

However, hear me out: Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY SLINGO GAMES?

What would you associate most with a beach? Sand!

Now that the clocks have gone back and the evenings are cold and dark, it did feel a little odd to be stepping into the tropical world of Diamond Sands.

With palm trees, sandy shores and music you’d expect to hear on a travel site advert, it definitely offered a sense of escapism from autumn in the UK.

One unusual element to this game is the Diamond Wheel. This is triggered randomly after a bonus token lands on the board.

CHECK OUT OUR FEEL GOOD FRIDAY DRINKS

Once it launches, the wheel awards one of four jackpots: Big, Major, Mega and Diamond.

These are worth x20, x50, x250 or x5000!

While jackpots are not a new concept, the idea of a visual spinning wheel to determine which jackpot is won creates a greater sense of excitement.
