Roll Up For The National Bingo Game!

  • Roll Up For The National Bingo Game!

    The National Bingo Game came into affect across the country, at Bingo Halls, in June 1986. It was a great  hit with many players, mainly because the jackpots were massive. Not only that but they were linked with other bingo clubs up and down the UK. Whichever player was the first to shout Bingo! With the least amount of numbers, was entitled to the National Bingo Game jackpot prize.

    Introduced in 1986, parliament brought in a new legislation called the Bingo Act.  The introduction of this legislation made it possible for players to take part in The National Bingo Game everyday of the year, twice a day.  Gala Bingo and Mecca Bingo were two of the biggest brand names to join up. Although, it was played at most land based, UK Bingo Halls. 

    2008 brought round some big changes in the Gala Bingo Halls. They dropped the National Bingo Game, so they could introduce a new membership style game, for their own regular players. Of course, this made the odds of winning the National Bingo Game much better.  All the more for everyone else!

    Plenty of independent Bingo Halls played the National Bingo Games everyday, but maybe the best known name for the National Bingo Game is Mecca Bingo.  The price of tickets varies, but it's only 25p for the afternoon game, and in the evening you can play for just £1.

    The National Bingo Game offers a range of different prizes, depending on whether it is the weekend or a weekday.  It also depends on whether the sessions are in the afternoon or the evening. The National Bingo Game has a National and Regional prize. Both of which, the winning player is the National Player to shout Bingo! first, with the lowest amount of numbers;  The same for the Regional Player prixe.  First to shout Bingo! With the fewest amount of numbers walks off with the goodies.  So, if you have always been an online player, why not get along to your local Bingo Hall?  and join in with the fun!  It’s the ONLY place you can play.
