Does anyone know if there have ever been any huge monetary Bingo prizes given away? I know that there are usually certain amounts given away every night, but has there ever been a big, grand prize game?

I am sure that there are place that do give away huge amounts of money if you win. I would think a casino would have such games.

Just last summer Gala Bingo had their massive Kerchingo game, which was played across online, clubs and their TV channel. The winner won a massive £1,000,000 - the first time to my knowledge that size prize was won at Bingo. You can read more here.

Wow, now that is a big prize for online bingo. Did you happen to play? I have never taken part in anything online where the prize was that big.

I've never played online with a prize that big myself either. The most I have ever seen won locally was I think around $7000 USD. Of course, I would be happy with half that!

That kind of money would be a good incentive to play, I would think! If I had that kind of luck, I would probably go for it, too.

Wow, that is a nice pot. Our winnings are usually around $250 a game, but that gives us more games and theirfore more chances of winning.

I have never won big at a bingo game I think if that is your goal you are playing for the wrong reasons. Of course, everyone wants to win, but this is not the reason to play otherwise you could get addicted to playing. Playing bingo should be because you enjoy it and if you win then it's a bonus, but if not then it is part of the game. A nice evening can be had playing bingo similar to when you go to the casino. You don't go to win, but to have a nice evening. As long as you are in control then there won't be a problem. Just a word of advice I learned when I was a Croupier a long time ago. Never follow a losing streak. If you are winning then by all means follow it, but if you are losing call it a night.

I have never played online where you could win that amount of money. I bet that brings in a lot of people to the game. Would be nice to win.

Yeah but, it could be dangerous as well because it could mean that people get addicted to gambling if they are not careful and watch what they are spending. I actually think gambling online is very dangerous because it is available all the time so those who have an addiction do not stand a chance.
