We’ve been listening to your feedback.  We noticed a lot of our players have mentioned a Fair and Square room.  We want your feedback and opinions on this topic.  Let us know what the price and amount of cards feel you would be fair if we were to consider opening this type of room.  Also how long you would like to see the room open for…. 24/16/8 hours. As always any other feedback is appreciated.

Friday April 10th at 12 noon est.., We all love PJP’s and our chances to win them. We love to see them grow and love to see them won.  We are not happy with how long the PJP in our Money Pot room seems to be taking to be won, so we are increasing your chances.  We will be upping your chances to win the PJP by 1 call per week for the Money Pot PJP. So if you like the 3 part games but it is hard to win that PJP in 46 numbers; we will now give you 47 calls to win it on. And then each Friday if it is not won we will increase it again by another 1 call until its won. We love the excitement of the chase and the thrill of the win, we hope you do also.

Hi Everybody! January is over and we’re now a week into February. I’ve been trying to come up with ideas to keep Mania as your favorite bingo site, and I have an idea I want to run past you. But before I do, let me back up a bit.

It will be 10 years this March that Mania has been a pay to play bingo site, and yes I have been listening to your feedback, both good and bad. Over the years two complaints seem to repeat themselves. One is that sometimes there are too many people in a room and the chance of winning isn’t that great. The other is that an unknown player is winning too much and people worry that he or she is a house player. The first problem is a good one to have if you’re me, and the second one not. That being said, I hope that I have proved over all this time that I run an honest site and would never do something like that. Anyways back to the idea…  :) 

What if Mania was able to provide players with rooms of their own? For instance lets say that you have 10 or 20 friends that you play regularly with and enjoy their company, and you want to play just with them? What if you were able to request a room where you specify what the card cost is, what the max number of cards is, what people can get into it, and when it plays? Would that be of interest to you?   

I’m thinking that this might be a neat idea. It would be kind of like my weekly poker game at my house with my buddies. Sure I like winning those games, but when I lose, I know that one of my good friends wiped me out…lol…as opposed to a stranger. This would also be a good way of keeping the number of players in a game down to a reasonable level and also take away any anxiety any of you have (though I hope you don’t have any) that everybody that plays here is real. 

Anyways that’s my two cents and I hope you will post comments on this idea so I can get an idea of whether its worth trying out. Mania’s current rooms aren’t going anywhere. From where I stand, one of the really great things about online bingo is that you get to meet new people from all over. But I don’t see any harm in people also having their own private games on the side. I don’t have all that many ideas so please comment on this one.  :) 

Best wishes to you all, 
Stu

We heard you wanted the penny room back to spend all that loose change. Well on Monday January 19, 2009, the penny room will reopen at 9am.  It will be open 24/7 with GM Gwen in chat Monday thru Friday only from 9am-5pm est to help answer any questions and keep you company. Enjoy the games and stop by and say “Hi” to GM Gwen, she’ll miss her “nutlings” as she calls those in the Nuthouse, but they can still find her in Pennies.
