FIND the bingo room that reflects your relationship with your best friend. Your bestie, numero uno, BFF or brother from another mother. However you describe your best friend, Sun Bingo has a room for you. * Sunday 8th June marks Best Friend Day. Now is the time to tell your favourite pal what normally goes unsaid: how much you love them. Today is the chance to honour the most wholesome of platonic relationships. They've laughed with you, celebrated you and been a shoulder to cry on. They have your back no matter what. To mark the day, you and your bestie need to find something to do together. That could be an old favourite that connected you two in the first place or it could be a chance to try something new together! Among the Sun Bingo community, we have plenty of BFFs. Some have met through their love of online bingo and others came to us as an already formed duo. It means that we expect plenty of people to choose to spend their Best Friend Day enjoying games of Sun Bingo. Now, without wanting to cause a falling out… which room will you be playing in? It's alright if you both agree but what about if you don't enjoy the same rooms? Fear not! Sun Bingo won't be the reason for any friendship rifts this Best Friend Day. Instead, we're going to bring you all together by offering our ultimate guide to where you should play on site. It's based on what kind of friendship you have with your favourite pal, and how you'd describe their personality. Best bingo room for your buddy From glam fans to thrill seekers, we've got you covered here at Sun Bingo. Classy lassies - Glamour Room If you and your best friend have the sort of friendship enjoyed by Cher and Dionne in Clueless, the Glamour Room is the place for you two. Your duo strut their stuff in the finest fashion and always roll up looking your best, no matter the occasion. You enjoy being fabulous and won't apologise for it. The only room that can keep up with your high life is the sparkling lights of the Glamour Room. Looking this good never stops and neither does this room, as it's open 24 hours a day. With tickets from just 1p but prizes up to £350, this 75-ball room knows how to make your play dazzle. Spiritual sisters - Mystic Meg Are you or your sister from another mister into all things ethereal? You've already dabbled with tarot cards and perhaps even visited a psychic to see what the future holds. This is for the friendships that are similar to that of Elena and Bonnie in Vampire Diaries. You've had each other's back through the multiple lives and deaths but come out stronger for it. At least one of you is in touch with your spiritual side, with an impressive knowledge of herbal remedies. The obvious room choice for these pals is our Mystic Meg room. You can play in this room between 9am and midnight daily. This is multi-price bingo, with players picking whether to purchase a 10p, 50p, £1, £1.50 or £2 ticket. How much you pay impacts your potential winning pot. 1 Boy/Girl buddies - Heart Room So far the focus has been on female best friends but what about the wholesome friendships that some men and women share? MEET LISA PEACE - THE SUNBATHER WOMAN IN OUR LATEST TV ADVERT You've batted away countless questions about whether you're 'more than friends' through the years. Those that can't appreciate how a boy/girl friendship doesn't develop into a romantic relationship need to check out how Morgan and Garcia interact in Criminal Minds. Yes, there's some flirting, but it's done in the knowledge that neither want anything more. They only ever champion the other in all of their endeavours, celebrating the professional, personal and romantic milestones alike. These friends have a special place in your heart, but don't have your heart. This is where our Heart Room steps in. Tickets are as little as 10p each, with prizes of up to £80. Play between 9am and midnight every day in this 80-ball room. Thrifty twins - Penny Press Is there anything more bonding than mutually appreciating a good bargain? Your bestie loves to peruse the sales racks and always knows how to find treasures in the discounts. These friends have great times without big spends. A walk in the park can be as much fun as a bougie brunch with this friend. That's how the likes of Annie and Lillian in Bridesmaids spend their days. Even when others might try to come between you, they'll never truly understand how deep your platonic love goes. You and your budget savvy buddy will find exactly what you like in the Penny Press Room. This is our home of penny bingo. It's open 24/7 and while the tickets might be pennies, the prizes are up to £25! The deals keep getting better in this room as it also hosts Triple Whammy games, where there are up to three jackpots, depending on when the 1L, 2L and full house are won. They're your best friend, you'll stand by them through everything, and that's been tested… a lot. No matter where they go, drama seems to follow them. Your phone is constantly pinging with the latest updates on the minor crisis your pal finds themselves involved in. You might be thinking 'no, my buddy is very drama free.' Unfortunately, that might mean it's not them who brings the dramatics into the friendship. Think about Donna and the Dynamos in the Mammia Mia films, it's not Tanya and Rosie who have three potentially baby daddies rock up to their crumbling Greek hotel. Having said that, that doesn't stop them jumping into Donna's drama and helping her, from cleaning her up after a good cry, singing and dancing with her, to dividing and conquering when it comes to integrating Sam, Bill and Harry. These friendships sound a lot… of fun! There's only one room that can handle all of the energy that's needed to keep up with friends like these, and that's the Cabaret Room. Check out these games between midday and midnight for the chance to win up £3. The drama builds in games like Bingo Linx when the pot goes up to £100! Thrill seekers - Rapid Room There's excitement to be found in any of the Sun Bingo rooms. However, what makes this room stand out is the speed of the games. This is our speedy bingo room, where you've got to keep your wits about you as the balls come thick and fast. The friends who like to play in this room are the type that go on friendship dates to the theme park and plan on one day doing a skydive together. You're each other's hype man and are truly ride-or-die pals. They're the Goose to your Maverick. These fast-paced friendships can be made and cemented in the Rapid Room. The 90-ball games award up to £80, with tickets starting at 1p each. If the full house is won in 35 balls or less, the £2500 jackpot is triggered. This room puts the 'go' into bingo as there's no finish line, with the room open 24 hours a day. *New customers only. Register, deposit £10 and spend £10 on bingo tickets to receive £40 bingo bonus (accept within 48 hours and wager 4x within seven days) and £20 side games bonus (accept within 48 hours and wager 20x within 30 days) on Rainbow Riches in the bingo lobby.

Amazon Prime viewers urged to binge 'best show on TV' this weekend
The Exorcist was cancelled after just two seasons due to low ratings, but it still has a huge following of fans who have praised it as one of the best horror series on TV Amazon Prime Video subscribers are racing against time to devour what enthusiasts have dubbed "one of the best horror shows on television". The Exorcist, a familiar tale to those who relish in frights, was reborn as a television series in 2016. Drawing inspiration from William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel, the series was billed as "a modern reinvention" of the "propulsive, serialized, psychological thriller". Set within the universe of the iconic 1973 movie, it weaves a sequel narrative that nods to elements of the original story. Starring Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels, Kurt Egyiawan, Hannah Kasulka, Geena Davis, and Alan Ruck, The Exorcist delves into the terror of a family under siege by supernatural forces. The plot thickens as a mother, plagued by nightmarish visions and her husband's mental unravelling, seeks help for the eerie disturbances threatening her daughters, leading to an alliance with church leaders and a battle against malevolent entities. A Reddit user extolled the virtues of the show, stating: "Both seasons are worth watching, especially since they're only 10 episodes each. I found the first season to be great and the second season to be even better. It was one of the best shows on television if you ask me. The quality of it in every aspect blew me away to be honest, I was so disappointed when I found out it was cancelled." Another commented: "Bro, I couldn't believe when it was cancelled. This show caught me TOTALLY by surprise. I figured it'd be dumb AF and cheesy but NOPE. The acting is unbelievable, the music sublime, and the storyline was deftly crafted. It wasn't just was REALLY good." "I watched both seasons and thought the cast was great and it was very well written. I loved it. I just wish it hadn't been on Fox so we would have got more seasons. It was definitely one of the best shows you're not watching. Fairly original take," a third chimed in with high praise. On the Rotten Tomatoes platform, the show's first season achieved an impressive 79% rating, complemented by a nearly flawless 91% audience approval score. Yet the second series managed to outdo its predecessor with a pristine 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, alongside a formidable 90% from viewers. "The best horror series I ever watched. I truly loved the series and can't stop watching," lauded a fan. "Gripping, sucked me in straight away. Three episodes in I stopped and decided to wait till the weekend so I could binge," opined another viewer. Though The Exorcist faced cancellation due to lacklustre ratings, creator Jeremy Slater had previously hinted at exciting future prospects. Speaking to TV Line, he teased: "There may even be a potential for telling stories that are happening on branching timelines and flashbacks and different things like that." The Exorcist is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
