The withdrawal of Gala Bingo from the National Bingo Game has come out as a surprising announcement. This is because in the field of bingo, National Bingo Game is taught to be the most exciting part of a bingo night out. Of course, it is because of the great prizes that the game offers.
In fact, with the National Bingo Game linking bingo halls across the nation, it has helped create the first bingo millionaires. This game has been playing fine since 1986 with the intention of making bingo more attractive in the competitive gambling industry.
The National Bingo Game is played twice a day, everyday of the year, except for Christmas Day. About 500 bingo clubs are linked to it, which has paid out over 1 billion pounds in prizes over the last 21 years.
With Gala Bingo owning 162 bingo clubs, a major portion of the UK bingo industry, the bingo association chief Paul Tallboys says that they are upset with this decision. Especially in this troubled times of the bingo industry.
It is said that it is better for bingo clubs to stick together. And with Gala breaking away to start their own business, it looks like they are disloyal to the bingo industry. Moreover, it is yet to be seen if the National Bingo Game can continue with a third of its members gone.
It is also to be seen if other bingo operators like Mecca and Independent clubs will be able to keep the ball rolling or intend to follow in Gala’s footsteps. The National Bingo Game pays about a million pounds as prize money every week, across the UK.
Even though the bingo industry is going through tough times with the double taxation and smoking ban cutting its revenues, about 3 million Brits play bingo at least twice a week.
