Mecca Bingo, known as the home of bingo, is excited about the launch of two new bingo games at their online site.

The first game is Cashline. The game is an 80 ball bingo game and requires players to find 16 numbers on their bingo ticket. The best thing about this new bingo game is that there are lots of different ways to win. Players will be able to see what they are playing for before the games begin, whether it is all four corners, the middle 4 squares or a full house.

The second new bingo game to be launched at Mecca Bingo is Joker Jackpot. Players who love card games as well as online bingo will love the addition of the new games. It is still bingo, but it is nothing like players are used to. Instead of drawing out balls they draw from a deck of cards and to win players need to match their cards to the ones being drawn. There are only 9 playing cards on a ticket and only 54 cards in the deck (including the jokers) which means this great new innovative game is much quicker to play than traditional bingo games. To win, a player needs to complete the J pattern on the card and then move on to play for the full house.

William Hill would not release information about the winner, however stated the lucky individual was from Amersham and married. Talking about the winner, the spokesperson said, “He will spend his winning amount wisely. He will probably buy a nice Christmas present for his wife.”

In other news, online bookies have announced that following the latest success of their ‘Best odds guaranteed’ offer, they have decided to extend the Internet concession throughout September. The offer is currently on for all online bets on horse and greyhound racing for both the UK and Ireland. If a player takes an early price or board price, and the SP return is greater, they’ll receive the higher SP price payout on their bet.

The promotion has already proved to be a hit with players as it has yielded an additional £24,000 in winnings for a lucky Aberdeen customer last Friday. The Aberdeen man won a massive £48,000 after combining bets on five winners at Chester.

Bookies are already taking bets just two games into the English Premier League season that Alan Curbishley, manager of West Ham United, will be the first manager to get fired. Online bookmakers BlueSq.com have named the West Ham manager as its 2/1 favorite to get the boot.

VictorChandler.com has shortened its odds recently from 7/4 to 6/4 on Curbishley being fired. Fans of the London-based club booed Curbishley on Wednesday after his team needed extra time to beat League strugglers Macclesfield Town in the Carling Cup competition at home. Also not helping his cause was the sale of defender Anton Ferdinand to Sunderland this week and constant rumors that striker Craig Bellamy is off to Manchester City.

The number two spot of managers who will lose their jobs is the new Manchester City manager Mark Hughes, who is 11/2 with VictorChandler.com and 8/1 with 888Sport.com. Hughes was recently hired as manager of Manchester City this summer from Blackburn Rovers but is now among the pick of managers that will quit their jobs as the club is beset by financial problems and uncertainty over the future of owner Thaksin Shinawatra.

The next manager on the list to leave his job is Everton manager David Moyes who would rather quit than be fired as his club is struggling to afford players to strengthen his team that finished fifth place last season. Moyes has odds of 7/1 with Ladbrokes.com while 888Sport has him at 10/1. The biggest surprise in the race to be fired is the Liverpool manager Raphael Benitez, who is 9/1 with 888Sport.com, 10/1 with VictorChandler.com and 11/1 with BlueSq.com.
