So you have to be the person who goes red and then pick the correct number? That would be very confusing for Geno and the players who went red would have to remember to pick a number. I don't know.

Dear Crushers,
I'm very pleased to announce that I have taken win4maw's suggestion on board and we will be doing this from the start of next month (April 2017).
I have done a lot of new coding around our Bingo game to make the administration easier for this kind of thing ... and I can tell you also ... (and you will see at our next bingo session) ....
- When someone gets "First to Red" .... they will be instantly credited *.
-- Your game card will then be pushed down in your card window so you can ...
-- Pick your guess of the next number (only those not called yet will be available) ...
-- You will need to press the number you wish to pick and wait for it to be registered (a few seconds) ... and this will be automatically be shown in chat ...
-- And .... when the next number is called -- the winner(s) will be automatically calculated and shown in chat -- and I will then credit the winner(s) their prize(s) * before we continue with the rest of the game ...
* The prizes for this month will continue as cc-points for next number and first to red but next month it will be Bingo Points
-- Your bingo card window will then revert to normal so you can see everything as before.
Also, there is now a quick link on your bingo card window to the Rhyme Your Bingo Numbers new page where you can go and pick your numbers whilst I'm re-loading the balls for the next game
I would really like to use this for the rest of the month if those of you that haven't already tried out the new way (via the following link) to please go ahead and re-enter your rhyming bingo numbers (the same as you already chose please) ... here ...
I will also look into the possibility of you all choosing the number that will end the last (coverall) bingo game in a session but for now -- let's see how what I have done so far works
I have been testing everything with my 'test user' called anonymouse hehe and I believe that it should all work good -- but we will see on the day of course
AND PLEASE KEEP POSTING new offers and coupons that will be useful to other members and visitors as these will help continue funding Bingo and all the other free cash prizes we give away at CC forums

Geno this sounds so cool and I'm sure will make your job so much easier. I have a couple questions about guessing next number. First - will two members be able to pick the same number as we sometimes do? and second - there currently are two prize levels, one for being closest and one for 'on the nose', will there be only one prize of a bingo point for closest OR on the nose or perhaps a bingo point for closest and a bingo point plus CC points if it is 'on the nose'?

I don't think someone should even get a bingo point for going red , than what is really the point of having a bingo. Someone could win the monthly prize and never even get a bingo , just from going red first. and also if they go red first than win the game is that 2 points for them plus what about lucky number that could be 3 points in 1 game. just asking thanks

Hi Nono,
Yes, players can choose any uncalled number -- they can also choose the same as another member - as before.
At the moment I have set it up so that either "On the nose" or "Closest" will win 1 Bingo Point
Whilst CC points are great - so many people have so many already from posting, winning them so many different ways ... which is nice so that when people win a cash prize - they have enough to redeem -- but I think most people have way enough and if they don't -- there are so many easy ways to earn them elsewhere in the site ...
Yes, it will make Bingo easier for me ... BUT it also gives more chances for *everyone* taking part in Bingo -- not just those that already won bingo (which we now do 2 games per session for cash since it's only weekly now)
I can, of course change it in future... but I'd like to try this idea for April and see how people feel after seeing everything in action.

Hi Dean,
I like the idea of those taking part who got so close (going to red) that don't always win bingo in the end to also have a chance of winning at the end of the month. I also changed the Bingo sessions so that 2 games each session (week) are cash prizes for bingo winners ... so there's a good chance that people who have won bingo already also already won a cash prize before the end of the month ...
Only getting Bingo on the Lucky Number will get double bingo points (NOT for going red or guessing next number).
I'm very happy to look at changing things again and will put another poll/vote up for future changes but please remember - these are all FREE games and the more people that have a chance of winning I believe will make the whole experience more exciting and fun for everyone. Having more people in the draw at the end of the month should make it more interesting for those that don't always win bingo but get an extra chance from the in-game games (first to red and next number) ...
As I said re. Nono's reply -- I would like to try this out and see how it goes in April.
Of course I welcome all feedback and will consider this for May onwards
For the remaining 2 sessions in this March, I will keep the prizes the same.
I hope you will join me on Friday and see the new Next Number feature game that will pop up in place of your bingo card whilst that is being played.
Hopefully, I have answered all questions of course if not, then please reply again
