Since it's initial launch in the 1999, Three-Eyed Bingo has come a long way. Today we're exited to announce another big leap forward with some fun, new improvements we've added to one of Gamesville's most played game shows. But first, let's take a look back to see where it all began.
Here's Three-Eyed Bingo, circa summer 2000…
Now here's the most recent 2007 update…
And now get ready for an all new version of Three-Eyed Bingo in 2009…
With a slew of new features, including over 50 new patterns, the latest version of Three-Eyed Bingo is sure to be the most addicting yet! Not only have we tuned up the look and feel, there are now even more ways to gain bonus GV Rewards through a variety of in chat games, including:
Hidden Gems
- In the moments before each game begins, you'll be presented with a selection of different gems. Click a ball to select it. (When you're done selecting things on this screen, be sure to click the "OK" button to submit your choices.) This is your Gem.
- Each gem type is worth a different amount of GV Rewards.
- At the end of each game, Dickie will open the treasure chest and select a gem. This is the Hidden Gem.
- All players who selected the winning gem wins the associated GV Rewards amount.
Slug Bug
- Watch the bingo board for the first double digit to be called (eg, 11, 22, 33, 44 etc).
- All players who type 'Slug Bug' in chat and click send BEFORE the next new number is called win 33 GV Rewards!
3's A Crowd
- In the moments before each game begins, you'll be presented with a selection of numbers, 0-9. Click a number to select it. (When you're done selecting things on this screen, be sure to click the "OK" button to submit your choices.) This is your 3's A Crowd number.
- When you see 3 numbers ending in the number you selected, type "3s a crowd" in the chat and click send
- All players who selected the right number and send the correct message receives 333 GV Rewards.
With all the same gameplay you've come to love about Three-Eyed Bingo, we're immensely excited about the launch of the new chat games and improvements we've made to the game. And as always, we would love to hear your comments about the new features here in the Gamesville Blog.
Good gaming everyone!
Bonus Tip! Don't like being watched by the wandering eye in the middle of your cards? Simply click the eye and it will close.

The new makeover is beautiful! I love the new chat games, too! The only glitch I see is a weird thick black line underneath each ball that has been called. I see this in Internet Explorer.

not sure if i like the new changes or not. weird bonus games. I think it looks good . the eyes still scare me whether there open or closed. but there are a few glitches when i enter a room it flashes says connection is lost i ahve to bounce around rooms til i get in one. I think before people play a game that they should read the rules furst we dont have time to explain to everyone how to play and how can we exp;aian how toplay if we don'tunderstand it ourselves. and when we exlplain to everyone we miss our balls. this new game will take some gettign used to .

There is to much going on now on 3eye bingo. Why are the numbers that have been called almost blacked out? It's hard to check your numbers to make sure you didn't miss one. Also, it would be nice to see how many numbers away you are instead of the %.

You aren't the only one having problems with getting in Three Eyed Bingo since the redesign. I have had problems too. It'll go to a blue screen that says trying to open a connection that has been closed, or something similar. Very annoying. I was getting in just fine with the old design. With the new design, I can't get in.

I do not use IE and I see those lines too. I use Maxthon. Those black lines are annoying, just like the blue screens that says trying to re-open a connection that closed.

Hi, I have a complaint to make. I was trying to play 3 eyed bingo tonite and 5 games out of 7 I was unable to play hidden gem and 3's a crowd due to the intermission when showtime came up. On all occaisions the clock would stop and by the time it would catch up the bingo game had already started and I could not put my guesses in.
Have the fun is guessing the games and winning extra GV's. I don't know for sure weather I would have won the gems but I lost out on 333 GV's on all five games because I always pick #3, and I would have won everytime. That is alot of GV's.
I would appreciate a response from you.
thank you, Janie Corrigan

Now I can't just relax and play like I always did with the old game. This new one is too stressful for me. I want the old bingo back!

Zella, you don't have to bother with all the new twists and turns of the game–just play the bingo numbers like you used to and have fun.
I can't be bothered with all the flip/flopping, etc. myself. Of course, I couldn't care less about gamesville rewards either.
I don't understand how some people can be so distraught over losing some gamesville rewards–I mean, they really are just like winning air. If they had a Rewards bank, I'd deposit all of mine so you could all do what you wanted with them.

Hi all –
Last week, we released an update that removed the black underline for folks who were experiencing that issue.
Today, we're releasing a second update to address a concern that many of you have expressed about the game chat being overpowered by the number of bonus game messages broadcast by Dickie into the chat.
Today's update will change the "Slug Bug" and "3's-A-Crowd" broadcast messages, so they no longer go out to everyone in the room. Instead, those messages will only go out to the individual player when he or she wins these bonus games.
Thanks for your feedback!
Sincerley,
Chris Cummings

well I am not having any problems with the new 3 eyed bingo at all I love the game.
Comment by brenway4 — February 8, 2009 @ 10:49 pm
I think there should be one set way to write 3sacrowd. There is no place that tells you the way it has to be done to get the computer to accept it as a win. The winners of the chat games should be shown in chat or make the fact that theey,aren,t available on the rules site.

I love the new bingo! My only suggestion is that you outline the current ball in red instead of blue on the gameboard. Make it really stand out! Blue is fine for the big center ball. Thanks for the updates and I really like the fireworks when you click on a called number. Keep up the good work.

I like the new makeover of Three Eyed Bingo, but I want to know, do I only have to cover the pattern (unless I have gold daubs outside the pattern) to win?
