I know this is some more shameless plugging……..but I don’t care! One of the most common comments I get from bingo players when I speak to them about Gala TV is that ‘oh I haven’t got Sky so I can’t watch it!’. Well that’s no excuse now because you can now watch and play with […]

I know i have been all doom and gloom over the last few posts, so I am going to be more cheery this time around! Posted here are a couple of recent videos of me ‘working’ on Gala TV. The first one was when we had an all male team on and we decided that […]

What’s that I hear? I think it could be the sound of another live interactive bingo channel (finally) getting into the scene!’Bingo night live’ appeared on our screens on ITV tonight and, although with a few glitches and a couple of presenters not so experienced with the ‘live’ aspect of it apart; the show went […]

With regards to the recent post about illegal activities in the clubs, two contrasting stories caught my eye today. Firstly the tale of a lady who stole from her dead bingo partners account goes to show how low some people can go. And the award for ‘serves you right!’ goes to the robbers of a […]

The story about the bingo manager who got sent to jail for stealing £31,000 from her employers does not surprise me. Although I never saw anything on a huge scale like this, I have seen instances of money being ‘borrowed’ from the staff in clubs that I have worked at. When you are working in […]
