Over the Christmas holidays, BC Lottery Corporation added 2 new online games to its line up, Pacific Hold’em Poker and eBingo.
Pacific Hold’em has been around for quite some time, but could only played in pubs until now. The online game is exactly the same as it is in the pubs, except you don’t have a bunch of pieces of paper to worry about and you can do this from the comfort of your own home.
eBingo offers 2 types of games – group play or solo. The group game is played online with other people logged on at the same time. I guess it gives you the feeling of being at a bingo hall and you can chat with others. There are set hours for this.
The solo game is played ‘on demand’ in other words, you buy your ticket and the game starts right away.
In either game, you can select a ‘dabber’ and tick off your numbers as they come up or you can set it to autoplay.
Both games are moderately interesting but I didn’t find them particularly compelling to play from home. Sure, there’s the potential thrill of winning money, but it just doesn’t match the excitement of being in a casino or even sitting round a table at the pub with your friends and watching anxiously to see if your card’s a winner.
Interesting for a rainy day, but I’d rather save my money and go to the new Starlight Casino or just hop on a plane & go to Vegas.
