Game Overview

Bingo Bash is a lottery-style game where players select a set of numbers and win prizes based on how many of their chosen numbers match a random draw.

For example, a player might pick five specific numbers. After they confirm their selection, the game draws ten random numbers. The player wins a prize based on how many of their five numbers are present in the ten that were drawn.

The example video below shows a game where the player makes five selections and must get at least one match to win a point.

You can customize the game's appearance, mechanics, and prize structure to fit your campaign's needs. See the Key Features and Requirements section below for an overview of the configuration options.

The entire game is built and managed within the Xtremepush platform and can be embedded directly on your website.

Setup Process Overview

The following sections provide a high-level overview of the steps required to set up a Bingo Bash game, with links to more detailed documentation.

The infographic below highlights the four key stages of the game launch workflow, from creation to monitoring:

Create your Game Campaign

The first step in creating your game is creating a game campaign. A campaign acts as the container for your game, allowing you to define crucial aspects like target audiences, campaign duration and more. It also contains your game’s design, text, and prize configurations.

For more information on the required fields when setting up campaigns, see Create a Game Campaign

Selecting a template automatically loads a complete layout file and the necessary assets into your campaign's Assets tab. This streamlines configuration, allowing you to easily replace the default assets with your own without needing to build the game's layout from scratch.

When creating a Bingo Bash game campaign, you can enable the Sync prize dates toggle. This automatically sets the validity period for every prize to match the campaign's start and end dates. This means you do not need to manually configure the dates for each individual prize.

Customise Game Design

After creating the campaign, the next step is to customise the game's visual design and text to match your brand. This involves three key areas:

• Replace and Add Assets: The template you select provides a standard asset pack, including default images for the number selection grid, pay table, the draw result display, and sounds. You have two main options for customization:
  • You can replace the default assets provided in the template with your own branded versions. For more information on replacing assets, see Replace Assets.
  • You can also add new assets that are not part of the standard template, such as a custom logo or images. For more information on adding new assets, see Manage Assets
    For a general overview on game assets, see Assets Overview
• Update Game Texts: In the Texts tab, you can update all the standard text that appears in your game's interface, such as titles, button labels, and login prompts. However, the text displayed when a player wins or loses is configured separately in the Prizes tab. For more information, see Update Texts.
• Make Design Changes in the Editor: For granular control over the game's front-end appearance, use the Editor. It allows you to make detailed visual adjustments, such as resizing or repositioning elements, modifying fonts and colours, or adding new components. For more information, see the following pages
  • Editor Overview
  • Editor Use Cases.

Configure Game Mechanics

Prizes in Bingo Bash

In the Prizes tab, you configure the outcome for each number of correct matches a player can get.

• Create a Win prize for each winning number of matches. For example, a prize for 1 match, another for 2 matches and so on.
• Create a No Win prize to handle outcomes where the player doesn't win. For example, you can set a general No Win prize for players who get zero matches, or explicitly define that getting only 1 match is also a non-winning outcome.

The probability of winning is determined by a prize's weight relative to the total weight of all prizes available to a user segment. For example, to configure different odds for user segments VIP Players and New Users, you assign different weights to each segment as shown in the configuration below.

This setup creates a different probability distribution for each segment.

For VIP Players: The total weight of all possible outcomes is 100 (60 for 1 Match + 30 for 2 Matches + 10 for No Win). This results in:

• A 60% chance to win the 1-match prize.
• A 30% chance to win the 2-match prize.
• A 10% chance of not winning.

For New Users: The total weight of all possible outcomes is also 100 (80 for 1 Match + 15 for 2 Matches + 5 for No Win). This results in:

• An 80% chance to win the 1-match prize.
• A 15% chance to win the 2-match prize.
• A 5% chance of not winning.

Configure Prizes

Create your prizes in the Prizes tab of your campaign. For information on how to configure prizes and different prize fields, see Configure Prizes.

In addition to the standard prize fields, configure the following:

• Correct Numbers: Enter the number of correct matches required to win the prize.
• No Win toggle: Use this toggle for the No Win prize that is specifically for zero matches.

  📘

  No-Win Outcomes for Specific Matches

  To create a No Win outcome for a specific number of matches, for example, to explicitly define that 1 match is not a winning result, leave the No Win toggle disabled. Instead, set Correct Numbers to 1 and select No Win from the Prize Reference field.

• Notify when claimed: Enter one or more email addresses to receive a notification each time a user claims this prize.

Manage Time Slots (Optional)

You can control your game's daily availability by setting up specific time slots when it can be played. For example, you could make the game available only during a 'happy hour' promotion from 5 PM to 7 PM.

For more information, see Manage Time Slots (Optional).

Launch and Monitor Game

Launch your Game
