This charitable concern has called the event “Clickety Chicks” and it is being hosted by Gala Bingo. The event consists of a champagne reception to be followed by a gourmet dinner before the bingo games. These bingo games have become very much in demand in recent times and last years event in Belfast saw a whole host of TV celebrities and high profile people attending. Guests will be able to win more than twenty five luxury prizes, the nights entertainment is to be provided by Lynda Bryans and every guest receives a luxury gift pack by Elemis.

The event organizer, Arlene Creighton is also the fund raiser for NCH Northern Ireland and she says that this bingo night will provide much needed funds for the charity. NCH works with vulnerable young people and their families.

Just like bingo to be in the forefront of fund raising activities, this too is a very worthy cause and indicative of the kind of big hearted activities from bingo fans. The game of bingo has been used for many decades to raise fund for charitable causes and is sure to go on doing so.

This winner is married and has been playing bingo for twenty five years, she says that she is still a bit “dumbfounded” by her luck. She is retired and says the money will come in really handy. She also said that they will probably be able to take a few more holidays than they expected they would be able to. She also has a friend that she plays bingo with and will be sharing the winnings 50/50 with her. She said that winning this kind of money is something that one always dreams about but never expects to happen. Well it just goes to show that dreams do come true sometimes, particularly for this winner.

The second player at this lucky bingo club, won over ₤8 000 during the Afternoon Delight game. Lady luck is certainly spreading her charms around at this Bristol Gala Bingo club.

Now it is difficult to tell precisely what a “P987987” actually is, but it has to be a more advanced version than an “R2D2”. But regardless of this, someone must be a very happy person right now. This is a massive amount of cash for anyone to win wile playing bingo, but it is particularly remarkable for an online bingo winner!

Fortunately we have deciphered that a “P987987” is female and she had this to say “Yes, my balance had really grown by £51,544.69……omg! All in all, it’s just a dream come true to win so much money by doing what I love doing – playing bingo.”

Now the cash builder jackpot has been set back to ₤10 000, which is actually not too shabby a jackpot, all things considered. Just remember that it is going to keep growing until it is won. Fortunately Party Bingo is going to be helping you to crack the safe by offering you a 50% cash match bonus up to an amount of ₤50. Just enter the promotional code “Jackpot Bonus”, when you next deposit and you will receive your additional 50% in value.

What this entails is the bingo club applying for a separate licence to operate these “Adult Gaming Centres” within their existing premises. The new gambling laws have made it possible for bingo halls and similar operations to apply for an unlimited amount of these licences and it has obviously taken the legal pundits some time to work this out.

Bingo clubs have been crying foul to the Government since they took these highly lucrative slot machines away from them under the terms of the new gambling act, but by applying for one or more of these licences under the same premises, the bingo club will be allowed to have four of these machines for every licence.

I don’t know about you, I think that this is a whole lot of hoop jumping when the Government could quite simply change the laws to regulate matters on a more even keel. Quite personally, if it were me and the Government was putting me through my paces in this, I would simply turn to online bingo. There is far less red tape to have to deal with.

The bingo show is recorded in Granada TV’s Starlight Theater for ITV and the main studio piece is a wall of numbers. This is a spectacular set piece that consists of ninety numbers with a façade of frosted Perspex, with each number back lighted. The lighting is then triggered by a central computer that controls the actual bingo game.

I can only say that HSL have done an incredibly good job, the lighting and production on set is very good. It gives a feel of a realistic, yet futuristic bingo hall and its dynamism is what actually makes the show so exciting. ITV’s Bingo Night Live is aired, Tuesdays to Saturdays from 12 midnight for an hour. There is a close link between the ITV online bingo site and the show and as the game is free it is proving to be extremely popular. Bingo night live has already given away a huge amount of prize money and there have been more than 2 000 winners.

Anyway the show has achieved respectable viewing and participation, despite the late hour at which it is aired and the Great British public seems to be clamouring over themselves to register on the website and play. This is not the only Television bingo show and there is also another one aired on Sky TV, however this is not as easy to access as this is a satellite channel and ITV is a national broadcaster. There is another link in the ITV Bingo Night Live saga, it is linked to the ITV online bingo site that was developed together with Party gaming Plc and the show must certainly be building a huge database of potential members for the ITV bingo site. It just so happens that at the Online Bingo Summit held recently it was said that the future is in Televised bingo that is linked to websites, so I am sure we will be seeing a few more of these come to light.

Just in case you don’t know what a progressive jackpot actually is, it is really simple, a jackpot that grows progressively, that is with every game played, until someone wins it. The bingo winner is required to complete a full-house within a certain amount of calls, the number of calls is usually pretty difficult to achieve as it is generally a low number which allows the jackpot time to accumulate into something quite substantial.

To say the least `zulu22’ was really surprised to find she had won this amount of money off a 25p ticket, she said that she was excited, whilst scared. She was frightened that it was all a mistake. When her husband came home, she creamed at him to come and look, just to check if she was right, she was shaking with terror and didn’t know if she was crying of laughing.
