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!

Back in March of this year, Club 3000 in Coatbridge saw one very Lucky Glasgow player break the world record for the world’s biggest ever bingo win and they are now over £1.2 million pounds richer after hitting the jackpot on the national bingo games jackpot prize. It is not all bad news for English bingo players however as they have had their fair share of big bingo wins over the past year and the Mecca Bingo club in Stockton, Chandlers Wharf polled in second place on the national games leader board, they had 13 national bingo game wins in their club and their players won a huge prize fund of £375,432 between them.

Glasgow may have topped the leader board for the most national bingo game wins, but it was the Beacon Bingo Club in Cricklewood that amassed the largest national bingo game prize fund and their bingo players won the national jackpot prize 11 times and a prize fund that totalled a staggering £772,339! This was the second year running that the Beacon club topped the leader board for the biggest overall prize fund.

The National Bingo Game Association (NBGA) calculated the top ten luckiest towns based on the number of National Bingo Game wins in each region in the past year. Steve Baldwin who was the spokesperson for the NBGA said: “We have had 984 big winners over the past 12 months, and they pocketed over £36 million between them. Bingo has a huge following in Scotland so we’re delighted to see that they have not only won the title for the fourth year in a row, but they have also delivered our biggest bingo winner yet! The National Bingo Game is now in its 22nd year. Bingo always offers good odds for a great night out and cash in your pocket.”

Peterhead, Wavertree Park, Fishponds, Walsall and Bracknell, polled the lowest overall number of National Bingo Game wins and prize funds in the past year, but who’s to say their lucky won’t change this year as you just never know what bingo club will land the national bingo games jackpot prize on the night!
