Fluffy Faves – Paul Gielbert Interview

HowAbout Bingo Podcast – Episode 3

In this episode of the HowAbout Bingo Podcast I sat down to chat to Paul Gielbert, Commercial Director for Eyecon – the online slots company most famous for the Fluffy Favourites franchise.

Paul has a long history with bingo, having first started out in the bingo clubs as a caller, before moving on to be bingo hall manager, then onto online bingo in various forms before his move to Eyecon. It was a great chat and I hope you will enjoying listening in – it was the longest podcast so far so perhaps make a cup of tea before you settle in!

In the interview we discuss:

• Paul’s time as a bingo caller and bingo club manager at Mecca & Beacon Bingo.
• Producing the UK’s first live caller online bingo experience.
• Moving to ‘traditional’ online bingo as manager for Ladbrokes & Gala Bingo.
• Making bingo games for Facebook at BeJig Games & Gaming Realms.
• His role as Commercial Director at Eyecon.
• The enduring success of the original Fluffy Favourites.
• Fluffy sequels and spin-offs: Slingo, Megaways and bingo variants.
• Fluffy and appealing to under 18s – how ASA ruling affected the business.
• New games coming soon, including a slot game based on a traditional bingo hall.
