redirection 301 with htaccess with variables in url

I've searched answers on the forum but didn't worked for me.

I have rebuild an website using Wordpress and want to keep old urls.

old url: /bingo/play-bingo-40/review?reviews_id=16

nwe url: https://website.com/product/the-new-url-of-play-bingo-40/

I have tried this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^reviews_id=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^bingo/play-bingo-40/review https://website.com/product/the-new-url-of-play-bingo-40/? [R=301]

Any one?

You don't use anything from the query string, so you don't need to capture with a RewriteCond. You seem to use part of the request URL, so you must capture this one

RewriteRule ^bingo/(.+?)/review https://example.com/product/the-new-url-of-$1/? [R,L]

To learn more about mod_rewrite generally and regular expressions particularly, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/intro.html. Another good reference for regular expressions is http://www.regular-expressions.info/
