Mecca Bingo’s Search For Inspirational Women
Mecca Bingo are running a search to find a great mother and daughter team. The idea is that they receive nominations of truly inspirational women. Although we don’t have the exact criteria, we are guessing that they are looking for women who have shown a certain amount of self sacrifice when supporting others, be it […]

A woman from Stoke on Trent has been jailed for twenty months after admitting stealing £73,000 from her employer to fund an online bingo obsession.

Big Win For Mum At Newport Castle Bingo
Most bingo players treat a session as a good excuse to get out of the house, and do a bit of socialising, as although winning the jackpot is in the back of every player’s mind, we are all well aware of the statistical probabilities when it comes to hitting full house, particularly when playing the […]
888 Bingo Makeover
