Cyberslotz is a bingo room using a combination of BingoTek and Microgaming software licensed in Malta. It is owned by Talarius Plc so its from a reputable company as they run a lot of highstreet slot (fruit machine) or arcade spots Talarius comprises two key gaming brands: Quicksilver which is the UK's largest chain of Gaming Centres currently with 200 sites spread across the length and breadth of the UK; Cyberslotz, which was launched in August 2001, is a "virtual gaming machine lounge". The Cyberslots offering is good from the prespective it has bespoke UK thmed games but to be honest its a little dated and a site like online casino with their Monopoly brands and massive progressives is probably a better bang for your buck.
Thesun Bingo online service has become its most successful commercial partnership, SunBingo generated £3.8m in revenue for the last financial year for TheSunOnline.
Part of the Gala Bingo response to the recent Bingo decline is to push the Gala Bingo online bingo product and to develop a Gala Bingo online TV offering in the hope of attracting a younger market less inclined to visit a Bingo club. "We are seeing growth out of online bingo," said Mr Goulden. "It is fairly new, and only 20 per cent of our online players have ever visited a bingo club. We are probably going to market it more actively."
On the offline front Gala Bingo and others are putting as much pressure as possible on Alistair Darling to ease the tax burden on Britain's ailing offline bingo industry, amid claims of widespread closures of UK bingoclubs.
The UKbingo industry is on the chancellor's agenda following lobbying from Mecca Bingo and Gala Bingo, the UK Bingo sector's leaders they operate 270 of the country's 600-plus bingo clubs.
Neil Goulden, GalaBingos chief executive, said: "The message we are giving the chancellor and the prime minister is 'if you give us the same tax treatment as other gambling industries, it will be an investment that will drive up admissions'."
GalaBingoclubs were not yet under threat as yet, Mr Goulden said but pointed out this may change. Unlike Gala, which owns the freehold on most of its bingo clubs, Rank, which has a customer base of 1.1m, leases the MeccaBingoclubs for around 15 years. MeccaBingo, admits keeping loss-making clubs open is a better economic option than closing them and absorbing the additional cost of terminating rent agreements early.
"We continue to lobby and make the argument to Treasury," said Ian Burke, Mecca Bingos chief executive.
Some offline bingo operators believe Treasury ministers are increasingly sympathetic to their cause.
MORE than 50 years of playing bingo has finally paid off for a Merthyr Tydfil great grandad who has scooped a £90,000 top prize.
The lucky winner, aged 76, who does not want to be named, won the fortune at the Castle Club, Plymouth Street, Merthyr on December 22, where he has been a member since 2003.
He completed a full house quicker than anyone else taking part in the National Bingo Game, which includes 470 clubs across the UK.
The man, who is married, was playing with his sister-in-law when his numbers came up and with two children, seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren he could have an extra Christmas wish list.
"I couldn't believe it when they told me how much it was," he said.
"The reaction in the club was marvellous with everyone clapping and cheering me.
"I just couldn't stop shaking and I still shake when I think about it now."
He isn't sure yet what he will be doing with the money but he will definitely be taking his wife on a long holiday.

Could GalaBingo still be planning to float? Over two years ago Gala Bingo put out a timetable for a potential £5.5bn float of Europe's biggest bingo group which suggested this is the time they would look to do it. With the smoking ban and VAT issues of the last year could this be the time they bring this massive Bingo company to the market?
Gala Bingo full-year pre-tax profits are up over 10 per cent, but the Bingo group warned the smoking ban and the removal of lucrative gaming machines from their bingo clubs had impacted on growth.
The privately-held bingo group said it was very cautious about the wider bingo market conditions going into 2008 and would press the UK government for the abolition of VAT on bingo products. Gala Bingo claims there are some 100 bingo clubs whose survival was at stake across the UK but they do not envisage any Gala Bingo clubs closing.

The house prize of £3,150 was also shared by the two individual winners. The two winners who called Full House on the number 5 each went home £128,803.68 better off, including their share of the house prize.
Online bingo is the game of bingo played on the Internet. Online bingo is a multi billion pound business.
Unlike bingo balls used in regular bingo halls, online bingo sites use a random number generator. Online bingo halls usually offer online casino games as well as the bingo, but the actual bingo play works almost exactly like playing online poker or online casino games, with everything being virtual. One notable feature of online bingo is the chat functionality. Successful online bingo sites foster a sense of community and interaction between players.
Research into social interaction in local communities, conducted by The Henley Centre, has highlighted a steady decline in community.
Traditional forms of social interaction are important for communities but are under threat, according to a new survey commissioned by The Bingo Association.
Since 1996, one 72-year-old Scunthonian woman has played at the local Gala Bingo hall once a week, reports National Bingo her regular attendance paid off on Sunday December 2nd, as she scooped the UK bingo jackpot of £17,500.
