New TV Bingo Show for the UK

Tagged as: Bingo Night Live | by Hollie Sanders

It has recently come to light that the UK will soon be hosting a National Television bingo show, much like the one hosted in the US and Australia. “Bingo Night Live” is to be aired by the terrestrial television service ITV, it will be free to play and will be in place of the ITV play programmes.

The idea of being able to download cards that can be used to play from home in front of the television, during the show sounds much like the US and Australian bingo counterparts. But here is still not a lot of detail available so it is difficult to judge.

People have been guessing that this would probably be the next step for bingo in the UK and although it is already played on Virgin and a couple of other satellite channels, the implications of this game are the fact that it is free to play and many more people will have access, as not everyone is hooked up to satellite television.

It also has the added attraction of taking advantage of the marketplace in the UK who would love to enjoy TV or online bingo but do not yet have access to any of the technological features that enable this. It is a pity though as the time slot for the game is late and this will effectively isolate some of the potential market.
