BingoPlus, the country’s leading platform for digital entertainment, introduced its latest addition, Pinoy Drop Ball, during a star-studded launch on Sunday, September 29, at the Grand Hyatt Manila. The event featured exciting performances by BingoPlus endorser and TV host Maine Mendoza, alongside celebrity guests Julie Anne San Jose and P-Pop idol group Alamat.
The new game, Pinoy Drop Ball, is a homegrown creation that blends the nostalgic feel of traditional perya games with modern digital technology. As the first-ever live-streamed drop ball game in the Philippines, it adds a fresh twist to a classic pastime, making it a standout in BingoPlus’ lineup of digital games, which already includes Bingo, Tongits, and other Perya Games.
Eusebio H. Tanco, Chairman of DigiPlus Interactive Corp., the parent company of BingoPlus, emphasized the significance of this new game. “Our mission has always been to elevate traditional Pinoy entertainment and bring it to the modern age. Pinoy Drop Ball is another leap forward, offering an authentic, culturally resonant experience while incorporating cutting-edge technology,” he said during the launch.
How Pinoy Drop Ball Works: Pinoy Drop Ball offers players the chance to relive the thrill of perya while competing for prizes with exciting multipliers. The game features six betting areas, with payouts determined by the number of balls that land on a card. A single ball results in a 2x payout, two balls give a 3x payout, and if three balls land on a card, players enter the Pachinko round, which can multiply rewards by up to 200x. This bonus round is designed to heighten the excitement, as players aim for bigger prizes.
The game streams live 23 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing players to engage in the action anytime, anywhere.
Cultural Roots and Technological Innovation: Pinoy Drop Ball is a testament to BingoPlus’ commitment to preserving Filipino traditions while adapting them for the digital age. Inspired by the excitement of local town fiestas, the game brings the perya experience to players’ fingertips through a mobile-friendly format.
BingoPlus has invested significantly in research and development to ensure that the game reflects its cultural roots. All equipment has been tested and licensed by PAGCOR, ensuring fair play and compliance with strict regulatory measures. Additionally, the tables and balls used in the game are meticulously inspected for consistency and stability throughout every round.
The company also ensures variety in gameplay by changing hosts every 30 minutes, maintaining the excitement and fairness of the game.
BingoPlus Continues to Innovate: With the launch of Pinoy Drop Ball, BingoPlus once again showcases its ability to revolutionize how Filipinos experience games. The platform, known for its wide range of entertainment offerings, including bingo, tongits, and perya games, continues to push boundaries, making traditional Pinoy games more accessible and engaging in the digital era.
