Gibraltar-licensed online bingo site Bingo.Ladbrokes.com has launched a new 80-ball room and is celebrating by offering players the chance to recreate a portion of Phileas Fogg’s fictitious adventures with a trip for two in a hot air balloon.

The winning player can chose to take off from one of over 60 sites throughout the UK while the site is also giving 80 more people the chance to win £80 by taking part in its new 80-ball bingo. Players signing up and purchasing 20 tickets to take part in an 80-ball bingo game online will receive one entry into the special prize draw. The more tickets purchased will see the number of entries received increased meaning a greater chance of snagging a prize.

The site is also offering a special signup promotion offering new players £20 in free vouchers to use on the site in exchange for a one-time minimum deposit of ten pounds. Players must spend the vouchers on bingo tickets only and the £20 bonus will be deposited within 48 hours of spending the initial deposit. This offer is not open to residents on the US, Germany, Hong Kong or The Netherlands and the £20 in vouchers will be available for only 30 days from the date of crediting before being removed. Bingo.Ladbrokes.com recently announced that lucky player ‘MrsM’ from Lancaster scooped a massive £39,000 playing the site’s 33-ball escalator, which has since rejuvenated itself to the tune of £7,952.

"It's indescribable,” said ‘MrsM’. “It's a feeling you just don't expect until it happens to you. We're going to clear all our debts with the money and take a holiday to Las Vegas for our anniversary. Winning the money has been a big relief and it has changed our lives completely."
