Bingo Blitz - Power Ups



There are a variety of power ups within Bingo Blitz which help you to gain an advantage on your fellow players and also allow you to get more credits, coins or even collection items. A round up of these is below.

Power ups are gained per every 3 numbers clicked. However, the power up meter needs to fully uncharge before it can be charged again to get another power up.

The game's power ups



Green Power Ups

These are the common power ups which are more obtainable and, as such, don't help as much as other power ups do. These are the single daub, coin square and treasure chest.

Single Daub: This automatically places a daub on one square on each card onto a number which is yet to come out. This is distinctively helpful if you only need one number to get a column or row and the number hasn't come out. This single daub can be the difference between getting a bingo and not. This can be used multiple times per round.

Coin Square: This places a square on each card which - if daubed - give the player coins to use to play in slots, or to buy additions such as keys or more power ups. The amount of coins behind each square varies, and more coins are given for more expensive rooms. This can be used multiple times per round.

Treasure Chest: This puts a treasure chest on each playing card which will give either credits, keys, power ups, coins or collection items when clicked on. These can be extremely useful because most bingo rooms have collection items which can only be won in a treasure chest or bought. This can only be used once per round.

Orange Power Ups

These power ups offer a bit more advantage to the player and can be a lot more useful. These are double xp, double payout and double daub.

Double xp: Players gain xp for each number they click on their cards. This helps them to level up and unlock more cities. What a double xp does is to simply double the xp gained per click. It can only be used once per round.

Double Payout: Players gain credits and coins for every bingo they achieve and also collect coins by clicking on coin squares on cards. A double payout will double the amount won for that particular round. So if a player got a bingo worth 6 credits and collected 600 coins for it, with 365 coins clicked on the cards during the round, they would have a total of 12 credits and 1930 coins. This can be used once per round.

Double Daub: This is basically a single daub with twice the power! Here, it automatically covers 2 numbers per card with a daub despite the number not coming out. This can be very lethal if used correctly. It can be used multiple times per round.

Purple Power Ups

These are the holy grail of power ups. They give the player the most advantage and are much harder to get. They are the instant win and the super charger.

Instant Win: These place a star over one number on each card. If that number is called, the player automatically gets a bingo. This can be very useful because a player can get a bingo with just 2 numbers called! It is ideal for trying to win collection items on shadow cards because you only need one specific number to be called for you to win. This can only be used once per game.

Super Charger: This power up reduces the cooling down time of the power up meter and also only needs 2 numbers to be clicked before a power up can be used. It is handy for getting more power ups out to give a bigger advantage. This can only be used once per game.

  1. Point of clarification to your description of the instant win power-up. You stated that a player wins a Bingo if the number highlighted by the I-W star is called, when in fact, the player must daub the highlighted number to activate the instant win Bingo; it doesn't become an Instant Win without daubing by the player.
