National Bingo Week was once again celebrated in style this year from 24th June – 30th June. As part of the celebrations, the National Bingo Game was half-price on both afternoon and evening games, with a Jackpot prize of £50,000 and Club Prize up for grabs!
Clubs and customers also celebrated with lots of exciting games and fun prizes galore. On Friday 29th June, bingo clubs across the country hosted a special charity game to raise money for Variety – The Children’s Charity. The industry has raised nearly £2million for Variety in the last few years, highlighting just how generous bingo customers can be.
Election candidates also visited the clubs on National Bingo Day and had the opportunity to call the charity game, with more than £20,000 raised on the day.
Miles Baron CEO Bingo Association, said: “We were delighted to celebrate National Bingo Week this year culminating in National Bingo Day again, with special games and prizes bringing all our bingo community together, we were also delighted to raise money yet again for our charity of choice Variety – the Children’s Charity. I would like to thank all our members for their support and helping once again to raise much needed funds for our charity of choice.”
Making a guest appearance for National Bingo Day was Gemma Collins, who commented on her involvement, “I had an absolute blast calling out the numbers at the bingo! What a night. Bingo brings everyone together and it is fun and a cheap night out too. It was brilliant to meet the regulars – enjoying themselves and having a laugh with friends. I encourage everyone to support their local clubs next week for the big National Bingo Week.”
