Rock and Roll Bingo, a great new twist on the classic game of bingo.
The concept was thought up by Mark Walsh just to play in his local pub, but has now caught the eye of Mecca Bingo. Mecca Bingo will trial Walsh’s Rock and Roll Bingo in their Nottingham bingo hall, and then possibly go on to run it in Mecca Bingo halls across the country.
The idea is that song clips will be played instead of calling numbers, and players will mark off the song names on their cards. The rules other than that are basically the same, the first player to mark all the songs on their card off and call house, wins.
Walsh told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “We thought we had something and we thought it would take off but now we’re just over the moon. We just started playing it in a few places and it just went through the roof.”
But it seems getting his game into Mecca Bingo halls is not all Mark Walsh has in mind, he is now working on adapting the game so it could be played online or on TV.
Personally, as a massive music fan, I think this is a great idea and hope it goes far, I would definatly want to give it a go.
