RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- It's hard to imagine bingo being at the center of massive progressive jackpot wins. People generally associate bingo with small meager prizes, grey hair, and walking sticks, played in churches and community centers across the nation. However, Planet Bingo(TM), an innovative gaming developer in Rancho Mirage, CA, is changing the way people think about bingo with a product called MPBingo®. MPBingo® is a live, linked, multi-progressive color bingo game that gives bingo operators the ability to offer massive progressive prize boards that mimic slot payouts.

Mary Helen Florea is the latest recipient and biggest progressive jackpot winner the bingo world has known. While at Fort McDowell Casino in Arizona, Mary won a bingo valued at $100 not realizing she had also won the progressive MPBingo® prize offered by Planet Bingo(TM) for $244,483 Mary said, "The only reason I came to bingo today was my friend Linda is visiting and had never been to play bingo." She added, "My son was going to buy me a condo, but now I can buy it myself."

MPBingo®, unlike insured games and special bonanza games that are difficult to win, is always available to the player during every regular session and during every regular game. MPBingo® jackpots are won daily at many locations throughout the USA. Some of the more notable wins include $227,248, $131,370, and $100,000, all won within the past year, not to mention the numerous payouts over $30,000.

Dave Forman the VP Operations of Planet Bingo(TM) said, "We're changing the demographic and stereotype that is associated with bingo by offering multiple progressive jackpots and innovative electronics such as our color touch screen bingo unit, the PhD(TM). We've seen an increase in attendance and younger demographic packing in the halls to get their share of attainable jackpots offered by Planet Bingo(TM). For an average of $30 per 3 hour session, that's not a bad night out."
