Tagged as: Gala Bingo | by Hollie Sanders

Bingo is great shakes! It is very popular in the UK. In the UK a Bingo ticket consists of 15 numbers arranged in 9 columns of 3 rows. The caller calls out the number and confirms the winning ticket. A single game lasts about four minutes, 23 numbers are called per minute and in 30 seconds it is bingo – one can win! In UK there are nearly 700 Bingo clubs.

It is fun and frolic with players rolling in 2 hours before time to exchange gossip over drinks and snacks. A strong social side and a good cause pull the players. In The UK Caller of the Year Competition apart from the cash prize callers get a chance to call the numbers in Las Vegas and may become the Bingo ambassador of Britain.

It was a great day for a Bingo player in Coventry with a win of £59,000. She played for the Gala High 5 game at Walsgrave Gala Bingo Club in Coventry. The game had been just introduced when she won the jackpot. It completely shook her as at first she thought she had won £6,383. But the Gala High 5 game rules came to her aid and she could claim 50% of the rollover jackpot. The other players shared the rest of the 50%. For her the magic winning number was 55. She called it and the amount jumped ten fold.

The club manager Gary Colledge said that he was thrilled to have declared the first club winner of the new game – Gala High 5. This is the second in Coventry region.
