It had been a few weeks since I went out to Gala Bingo. I get the portable electronic machines which offer different packages of bingo cards ranging from 2 books up to 6 books. It can be pricey but it’s more chances to win. I feel like I’m playing at an online casino with those machines.
There’s a game called the High 5. I play 90 ball bingo and the one line prize for the High 5 is £1,000, £2,000 for a double line and £10,000 for the full house. Here’s where it gets interesting though. If you call the full house on a number ending in a five, you win and additional £25,000. If you call the full house on the number five itself, you win and additional £125,000 including £125,000 for your club to split amongst the players. Is that crazy or what? I have never been close. Not ever. This time was different. I was one number away from hitting big money. I waited on one number for at least five calls. It’s a little more difficult because it’s a link game. A link game is when you are linked to all the other bingo clubs within the country and you are playing against each bingo club.
So, bingo is called at another club. This person won the £10,000 and just happened to shout on the number fifteen giving her an additional £25,000. It was certainly her lucky day. Now that’s gambling at its finest.
I was a little saddened by my defeat so I went out in the lobby during the break to play some Elvis slots. I got the bonus once or twice but the disappointing part is that the max win is only £250. I could spend that in an evening at bingo. At least I was cheered up by watching Elvis shake it!
