Chain: Gala Bingo (Lost Halls)
Gala Bingo is, without question, one of the most recognisable names in British bingo — a brand that at its peak was the largest retail bingo chain in the country, with clubs found in towns and cities right across Great Britain. Officially launched on 17 October 1991, Gala’s story actually stretches back further than that date suggests, and its history is a genuinely fascinating tangle of brewers, broadcasters, and bookmakers.
