Like every game, there are tactics which can make you a better player. Bingo is no exception, especially with the inclusion of power ups. Here we will show you what is the best way to utilise them. We advise that you read what the power ups do here before reading on.
Get Optimal Power Ups
Bingo Blitz includes a power ups meter. Once a power up is used, it takes a while before this meter cools down for numbers being daubed to help towards the next power up. During the cooling down time, any number daubed won't help towards the next power up. My first tip here is to wait once you use a power up. Don't daub any numbers in the period of the bar cooling down. Doing this will ensure that you have the maximum amount of numbers to be able to daub and get the next power up as quick as possible. There is no point in daubing numbers with them not contributing to the power up bar because you may find yourself with a run of 3 or 4 numbers not on your cards, meaning you are at a disadvantage to other players. This does require good attention and speed to be able to daub quite a few numbers in a row after getting the power up to ensure that you don't fall behind in terms of numbers. You need to keep up with the game.Note: This tip is mainly useful for where you want to win the shadow card which you have got. Maximum optimality and efficiency will help towards - but not guarantee - this.
The Efficient Order
The power ups given are generally random, but recently there has been a slight tendency towards the better power ups being used first. There is a perfect order of power ups which could be used for you to gain the best advantage. For the tournament room, this goes:
1st power up: Instant Win
2nd - (n-1)th power up: Coin Squares
nth power up: Double Payout
Where 'n' is the total number of power ups used per round.
This enables the player to have the highest chance of bingos with plenty of coin squares to use. The double payout at the end ensures that all coins earned are doubled. However, the addition of the super charger power up has slightly caused debate over this system here. This power up could be used 2nd if used at all.
Waiting Double Daub
Occasionally, you may find yourself close to a bingo and with poor power ups left i.e. coins squares or treasure chests. You may have a double daub waiting to be used. A good tactic to use here would be to wait until close to the end to use this. Often, a player can use a single or double daub in the game and then for the number to be called that this automatic daub went on. It is efficient to wait until the end so that all numbers called have been manually daubed by the player and then to use the double daub to take 2 free spaces up. This has a high chance on landing a bingo if the player is one or two numbers away from a bingo in 2 or 3 places per card.
My understanding is that 2Xs count for all coins, treasure chests and possibly even XPs(? Not sure about this last one) anywhere in the game - before and after that P-U was claimed. My 2nd source of confusion has to do with the order of Power Ups: aren't they offered randomly (albeit with some predictable patterns, as you mentioned)? And isn't it true that a player who doesn't claim a Power Up when it's offered is shut out of receiving any more from their "store" of Power Ups? My experience is that the offered P-U just keeps flashing, unclaimed right through to the end of the round. If so, that kind of mitigates any benefit of not claiming a P-U ( except for possibly avoiding wasting one near game's end).
