The new High Five jackpot bingo game at Gala Bingo could have been quite aptly named “Cheque Mates” bingo because when this jackpot prize gets won by one of their lucky bingo players all the other players that are in the same bingo club as them at the time will win an equal share of half the jackpot prize that is shown, therefore making them all cheque-mates as they all pick up exactly the same valued cheque.

Over 200 bingo players at the Gala Bingo Club in Falkirk have just picked up a cheque for £794.34 each after one of the bingo players at their club won the jackpot prize on the high five game and this scooped the lucky lady who wished to remain anonymous a very nice £177,369.90 cash prize. It has been reported that they lady will be sharing her big bingo win with her two friends and daughter, which should net them just over £45,000 a piece.

Although the lucky lady did not want to be named she did have this to say about her great bingo win, ''I turned green – my friends realised I'd won before I did and we sat there, screaming, shaking and giggling! I've split the prize between us – we've all always shared our winnings and this time is no different. hadn't planned on going out, but as Rangers were playing we decided to head out to Gala as we knew we wouldn't get a proper conversation out of our other halves. 'When I woke up the next morning I had to ask my husband if I'd dreamt it all! We've already booked a holiday – and I'll be heading back to Gala Bingo in Falkirk."

The high five bingo game is sure flying high for Gala Bingo and their players alike and it must be a great atmosphere in their bingo halls when one of their players hits the high five jackpot as all players will walk out of their doors winners on the night. The high five bingo game is a very simple game to work out, if any player in their bingo halls wins the full house prize on the number (5) they will win 50% of the rollover jackpot prize, whilst the other 50% is shared by all the other players in the club. This game is also played at their online bingo site with exactly the same concept the only difference being that all the bingo players that are in the same bingo chat room as the high five jackpot winner, will share the other half of the jackpot equally between them.

You could say that the High Five jackpot at Gala Bingo certainly makes “Cheque Mates".
