A man has been jailed for 4 years after trying to guarantee themselves a win in bingo…..by robbing the place. After an attempt to rob a social club, Shaun Grooby then moved on to his local bingo club in Aylesbury where he managed to gain access to the clubs safe and £25,000 in cash. Fortunately […]
A Journalist Who Has Actually Been To A Club For Longer Than Five Minutes
Check out this meaty article from the local press recently about modern day bingo. The thing I like about this is that the journalist writing the article has actually made the effort to get away from the ‘easy’ stereotypical view of the bingo industry. It actually portrays a truer view of the industry and also […]
Bad Budget For Bingo Halls
There’s been a lot of ripples following the budget for the gaming industry. I have to say I missed the news about the raise in gaming duties in the general news on TV Tuesday, but there’s been plenty on the web since. I also missed that the contentious VAT issue had been won, but unfortunately, […]

Bingo Calling Minister And New Hall News
Bit of a grab bag of recent stories I’ve been to busy to focus on, but which I think are worthy of note. First up, the Foreign Secretary David Miliband had a stint as a bingo caller alongside the still reigning Bingo Caller Of The Year Blake Robson. The MP was invited to call to […]
Posh And Gala Offering Free Bingo With Cash Prizes
Well, I had wondered how long it would be before Cheeky Bingo found itself a competitor. Cheeky Bingo made a big splash a couple of months back as the UK’s first play for free and win cash site, in which time it’s grown from nothing to a major player in the online bingo marketplace. I […]
You’ll Never Get Rid Of The Dabbers
A story has grabbed me this month about a club that has decided to turn it’s back on the 21st century bingo…..and is giving the traditional game another chance. For those of you that are not in the know the bingo world has changed in club in the last couple of years. Go to your […]
