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 […]

Well as promised this month is all about the national game. As you may have read, Gala have recently announced that they will be withdrawing from the National bingo game on the 31st of August and replacing this huge game with a new and improved in house link game (the Hi Five). In a statement […]

Congratulations to the clever lawyer-type people who spotted the loophole which could mean that the bingo industry could get millions back from the tax man!!!! The government have been routinely screwing the bingo industry (with other, more profit making, gambling areas being ‘overlooked’) for a number of years now. It just goes to show that […]

BIG NEWS in the bingo world!!!! More of which I will mention in my main blog post next week…….Gala are pulling out of the national bingo game and it is in the national press!!!!! I’m sure lots of comment will be posted in the coming weeks but from this bingo caller: I can now say […]

Didn’t win on the national the other day: all of my bets fell or pulled up………damn it!!!!!!!! but I have had a few days off and managed to go back home to Bognor Regis and had a Sunday night session at the local club there. It’s the first time I’ve been in a hall this […]

The Grand national today reminds me of my early days working in an independent bingo club. We would always do a sweep stake with the staff and some of our regulars-it was always good because the race would be between the afternoon and evening sessions so we would all crowd round the TV during our […]

For the last couple of weeks I have been on facebook having a right conflab about the bingo caller of the year comp. This all stems from my disappointment that there were hardly any Gala entrants in the NBGA version of caller of the year last year. The consensus seems to be that my calling […]
