LONDON, July 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackpotjoy, one of the country's biggest online Bingo sites, has just announced a major reshuffle of their schedule which includes bringing together their three biggest rooms to offer one giant Progressive Jackpot - but there's a lot more behind the change, as we've discovered...

Online Bingo's headlines are all made by big Jackpots, but the major players in the industry know that there's more to the nation's favourite game than just the numbers, and a lot of decisions are driven by a desire to ensure the balance between sociability and economy is just right.

Jackpotjoy, renowned as one of the most innovative sites out there, have just revolutionised their timetable and Adele Lawton reveals the reasons behind the change and the effect it will have on the site's 3 million members. For more info on Jackpotjoy, please: http://www.jackpotjoy.com

The change specifically relates to the way ticket prices are managed on the site's three main 90 Ball Bingo rooms. Previously, all their rooms offered a single ticket price, with three of the busiest being their 1p Cloud Room, their 2p Emerald Room and the Tiki Room where tickets all cost 5p.

The new system keeps the three main rooms, though instead of having three constant ticket prices the rooms a mixture of 1p, 2p and 5p tickets, allowing members to play with different prices in the same room. For more info on the change please see the blog at Jackpotjoy

"The change is driven by a desire to help members feel like they can settle down in a room, make themselves at home and focus on the chat - that's one of the most important features of online Bingo, which is as much about sociability as it is big Jackpots."

The other big feature of the new rooms is that they offer a pooled Progressive Jackpot which can be won in any of the rooms, but which is built up with play from all three.

"The pooled Jackpot is very exciting and we're sure it's going to really set the rooms off! The Jackpot will build itself up much quicker than it did before - because there are three rooms feeding it - and with the varied prices, it could be built from 5p tickets but won with a 1p ticket.

    "And that's a really important part of what we offer here. It's
completely fair, completely random, but it could mean you win a GBP10,000
Jackpot for a penny ticket. It's very exciting." For more information on
