In the 60’s we see lots of disused theatres and cinemas become bingo halls throughout the UK as the introduction of television in our homes made these building become somewhat redundant and this was also the time when the land based version of the bingo game as we know it took off in a huge way. How times have changed, as it seems like there is a bit of a reversal is going on at the moment as we have just seen a former bingo hall in Edinburgh being turned into a church and rock gospel venue that also comes equipped with large screens and cinema seating.

Coatbridge, near Glasgow is fast becoming the place to play bingo after we have seen two huge national bingo game platinum jackpot winners come out of here this year alone. Lucky bingo player Soraya Lowell broke the world record for the biggest bingo win on 23rd March this year as she scooped just under a spectacular £1.2 million pounds on the platinum jackpot prize and we have just seen another Coatbridge bingo player win just over a £168,000!

A lucky Oxford mum of three is now celebrating after winning over £61,000 whilst playing at her local Gala Bingo club and this was the second such huge national bingo game win to come out of this exact same bingo club within the last two weeks. The Gala Bingo club in Ozone Road, Oxford had only just seen one of their members win £61,900 on the national bingo game less than two weeks ago, so it seems lady luck has most certainly been doing her rounds here!

The chosen charity for Gala Bingo is the Sue Ryder Care charity and it is their aim to raise over a staggering £1 million pounds for them over the next 18 months. The staff at Gala Bingo have already been busy behind the scenes setting up fund raising events for this charity and they are now asking for the support of their members, where they can join in all the online bingo fun at Gala Bingo to help them to help others who really need it the most.

Lady luck has most certainly been smiling on the lucky bingo players in Glasgow, Scotland as they have just been hailed Britain’s luckiest bingo hotspot for the second year in a row by the national bingo game. The Mecca Bingo club in Forge, Glasgow had a spectacular 16 national bingo game wins on their own and their very lucky players won a whopping £727,165 between them! This is the fourth year running that Scotland has topped the poll in the luckiest place to play bingo and the second year on the trot that Glasgow itself was hailed the luckiest place to play!

A lucky 77 year old pensioner from South Shields has been left shocked after winning over £28,000 on the national bingo game at her local Mecca Bingo club. The lucky pensioner went on to say that “she went to pieces” when she found out just how much cash she had won from playing bingo, but she is now looking forwards to going on a celebratory night out with her family.

The staff at Mecca Bingo are getting involved with helping to raise money for the Whizz Kidz Charity in more ways than one as they will be taking part in simultaneous sponsored sky dive jumps up and down the country in September to try and raise as much cash as they can for this great charity that is nearly 100% reliant on donations to keep going. Mecca Bingo is on a huge charity drive at the moment and they have pledge to raise at least £250,000 for Whizz Kids by the end of this year.

Mecca Bingo has proved to be a very lucky bingo club to play bingo in for a 61 year old lady from Norwich after she scooped over £34,000 on the national bingo game and she is also sticking to an agreement made with her friend whom she plays bingo with to share her great bingo windfall. What is even more incredible about this big bingo win is that the lady in question only plays bingo at her local Mecca Bingo hall in Aylsham Road, Norwich just three or four times a year.

Bingo Night Live has been running for a few months now and their free TV Bingo show has been hailed a great success with thousands of viewers now tuning in each night to take part in their completely free live interactive bingo games and be in with the chance of winning real cash prizes. Bingo Night Live is not just about the game of bingo either as their TV show is about the players too; after all without them they would not have a show to begin with.
