Hi, just wanted to know if anyone has completed all the fortune bingo ranks and if so which is the best room to play in the 1 or 3 card or the black outs. I know this is going to take a while I'm on rank 17 now - just wondered if there was a quicker way. Thanks for the help. O0
i am done with all the ranks and i played in 1 card speedy rooms, i would leave after i got a bingo and quickly move to another and fill the card, so i got a lot of bingos that way.....i guess you can call it room hopping......but i think that 1 card speedy rooms are the best to get bingos quickly, at least that is what worked for me.....i used to be a TD for a bingo league that played in 3 card speedy rooms too and i got a lot of bingos while i was doing tournies.....
Thank you so much- I will try that, I've been playing in the blackout one but that I guess would take longer since you have to fill everything in. Thanks again.
You should also play on badge day when most rooms have less people. O0
and at really weird hours if you can to...like from 2-4 am..lol
I have had the best luck playing in 3 card speedy. If you can find a sharing room with under 10 people, that is great. A lot of people don't care to share though, so I just go with whatever the room is doing. Finally got my first rank badge a while ago. Doubt if I will ever get the next one. Takes forever to get those Bingo's sometimes. Good luck
I just got the rank 5 Magic Flute Badge. I usually play from 1-3 am like bubblegum suggested. I also was lucky enough to find a room that was sharing and made "pogo friends" with a couple of the people in there. I added them to my friends list and I usually end up playing with them almost every night. Slowly but surely I plug away at it. We usually play in the one card rooms as it goes quicker.
***Stupid Question Alert***
What are sharing rooms? I haven't even started on Bingo yet, lol.

LOL If u find a room that has 3 or 4 people in it sometimes they like to share. 3 people can bingo at a time. The first 2 people type a b in the chatroom for bingo and the 3rd person hits the gong. If u happen to find some nice people like that u can rake in the bingos. O0
There are arguments on both sides so it is your call but one problem is you can get shut out if you try it in a full room (the 4th person doesn't get credit for the bingo, even if they were the first to get it) Also, the auto doesn't support sharing so if you normally share, then run the auto, it is obvious you aren't there:)
I'll probably get to the Bingo badges right before I do Nucks. lol
If you are the first or second person to put a "b" in the chat column, keep your cursor on the gong and then hit it hard when someone else gets the bingo. You may miss a few, but get many more than the regular way. Pogo doesn't really like us to share, that is why only three people can get it. Without sharing I would get about 2 and with sharing I get around 6 until I just get tired of playing.
When I am in the Bingo rooms many people don't even speak. I feel embarassed to ask if they will share. >:( Why can't we have our own Bingo rooms? Only in my dreams.....
I used to be very vocal about people who did not share >:( ...then...Rainy day Spider thingy happend...now I keep quite and keep a low profile :-[ :(
I must ask....What happened? :o

lol I was about to ask the same thing
I used the glitch to gain all the badges within 2 days. If someone takes the time to go through my badges they will eventually see 4 Rainy Day Spider badges together...a few here have been suspended over this and lost all their badges...if that ever happend to me I would CRY LIKE A BABY!! LOL...seriously...it would be very frustrating having to start all over again.
Inquiring minds NEED to know. :P
ahhh I see! Makes sense...I always see people posting about glitches on here but I'm always afarid to try them for that reason...I don't wanna lose my badges or get banned or something lol
Ohhh OK. I would cry like a baby too if I had to start over. :'(
I don't care if people share or not, I hit the Gong when I have a bingo. You can either follow or swear at me for being "unsportsmanlike." I think they should just re-open the Sharing rooms and change Dottie to Chuck Barris. It just doesn't seem right to have this gong waiting to be rung and no Chuck.
Thank goodness my bingo days are behind me. :D
Funny how we cheat because we run an auto.
But in Bingo they cheat all the time to help other players get bingos that do not deserve them hmmmm??
Yah, and we're evil. :D

I love it when people share :)
I don't share, but if they share, it gives me more shots at getting a bingo >:D
I miss ol' Chuck as well...he just seemed so awkward that I always felt just a little bit better about being awkward myself ;D

They took people's badges? :o I hope they don't notice all my word jong ones *I* got with the glitch
I also like when people share. I look at it as we are all trying for the same thing. To move up in rank so why not do it together LOL ;D
Im nowhere near that. :( like rank 2
Yeh, I think I am somewhere around there too. I am impatient and hate to wait for a Bingo. :-[
Here's my tip that I've found helps. Bingo = boring, especially the time involved. I tend to fill the card(s) up as soon as the game starts. I turn the volume up and when I hear "I hear BINGO" I hit the gong. Win lose whatever I'm more into my book (or chores etc)

Hahaha, cool. And no worries about sharing since you're not the first to hit bingo :)
So how long would it take to get all those Fourtune Bingo badges if you just ran an auto 24/7 through out the day? You all are saying there is a glitch for that game is so can you post it on here if your allowed to
Ugh tks bud :o
LOL That's awesome never thought of that Thanks for the tip! O0
I believe the tip was to just cover your entire card and whenever someone calls bingo, hit the gong. Sure you will not get credit for incorrect numbers covered but it's much better than trying to cover all your numbers and keep up
There is also the hidden number. If someone hits the gong and you have one number left, click on it and then hit the gong. If you do not get the bingo, uncover that number fast so you don't get the red X and lose 5 points. Get a few bingo's that way that you are not expecting.

Yep, this is a favorite of mine. I believe the "hidden number" is actually the next number that would be called had not someone called a Bingo. Depending on if you are playing blackout or not, you can get these extra numbers quite often.
Yep, it has got me a few bingo's too. I was really grateful when I found out about it. If you are in a sharing room though, you are pretty much out of luck.
Here's what I do. Say you are going for "any line". Now say you need one number for a Bingo (either on one line, or several). Simply fill in the last number for each (just one per line though) and hover over the gong. As soon as someone calls Bingo, or your last number hits, just hit the gong. This works for sharing rooms and non-sharing rooms. :)

1 card speedy rooms, chat off, use the auto. At night, slower rooms, auto on and use Room Rover and you could get up to 30 a night. Bingo is best called while one is asleep.
People sharing helped me get the badges away from Dottie. Fortunately I started playing when there wasn't a limit to how many people could bingo and there was a time when you could get credit for 2 bingos rather than 1 but Pogo ended all that :'(
Got the badges without autos but it took forever - even made it a New Years resolution the year I finally said goodbye to Dottie and the chat wars in Fortune Bingo. I found more sharers in the very early AM - many times there were only 2 or 3 of us in a room so everyone got credit. Good luck to you in getting the badge!

Since I finished Qwerty last night, I decided I would try for my rank 13 bingo badge. I grabbed my DD, chose the 1 card speedy rooms, and started hopping away. I got 15 bingos in 35 minutes. I also play with the chat off, what you don't know won't hurt you.
I play with chat off also most of the time, I don't mind sharing (I do share every so often) but when I win and just want to room hop to pile up the wins I get bored having to wait for everyone else, selfish? yeah sure .. lol .. but at the same time I have hit bingo not knowing it's a sharing room then been told off which is not cool >:(
Wow, Motley - wtg. :) Only on I in my game - I can't seem to concentrate on any one game for long so i'm only 1/2 to 3/4 the way on many games (except pinochle...have zero badges there).
Thanks...everytime I finish a game I wander around for a few days trying to figure out my next project. The only games I have left to finish are Bingo, Battle Phlinx, Penguins, Texas Hold'em, Lottso, and Pinochle. On Pinochle, I have the Expert and Master badges to get and the last 3 rank badges. Only 766 more bingos until Rank 13, I am aiming for 25-50 bingos a day.
I find that when playing very early in the morning (3 am to 5 am) people are more apt to share.
I guess I'm just a bad bingo player cause I don't share lol...I've tried sharing a couple times but been burnt by the people who have a bingo but don't call it so I miss out being one of the 3 to get my bingo....sorry if that offends anyone but that's just the way I play
You are not a bad bingo player. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Close the chat, bang the gong and be happy when you finally reach the final badge. I know I will be. A room-hopping non-sharer is the lowest of the low..or so I've read when I've actually had the chat open. I guess I'm just going to be enjoying my final bingo badge in hell. >:D
A good thing about NOT sharing is alot of people get ticked off and will leave the room.
Making it alot easier to bingo with only 3 or 4 players

I really don't care one way or the other if they share or don't.....personal choice.....but what I hate is when they make snide remarks when someone does not share......there are some downright rude people on Pogo......would love to boot them in the butt! >:D
I keep my rude comments to myself when people don't share. LOL No really I don't care either way, as long as I am getting my bingos so be it.
OK I have to admit I didn't believe until I tried it today....and that would be that hidden number theory....somone called bingo and I only needed 1 number to have my bingo so I took the chance and covered that one and clicked bingo and got it!! Didn't get anything important like a badge...but learned a new secret for bingo!! ty all for posting that
I also tried it last night for the first time, and it worked!! Thank you for sharing this secret with us. ;)
I just tried it and it didn't work, woe is me :( lol
It doesn't always work. >:( It should, but it doesn't. Don't give up!

No, but it might help when they add ranks
O0
thank you
I got my fortune bingo badges when there were glitches. So I got the last two badges within 1 day of one another. I felt so guilty I reset my stats, and now it will take me forever to get back.
gl on your badge hunt
The "hidden number" is the one in the tube or floating before it's called. It's not a sure thing to get bingo
