Bingo Business

Yes, throughout the holidays I have spent some time at bingo with my mother in law. She took me to a VIP session. I had no idea that our club had a VIP session. This was just before Christmas and the New Year and they held a meeting and spoke to all the patrons. Ya can’t get this kind of personal treatment online can you?

They discussed changes to the diner and the food. They discussed a brand new smoking section to be added including a heated balcony and games available for play during breaks. This was all fabulous news but I couldn’t help but think to myself, let’s get on with the gambling. We were just about to begin but not before they dropped a bomb on their VIP’s. It turns out that free bingo days will soon offer reduced prizes. Instead of the £25 full house prize, it will be reduced to £15. Apparently they claim to be attracting the “wrong type” of people to free bingo. Management went on to tell a story of a man that took a piece of the bathroom countertop with him in an attempt to steal a vase worth £1.50.

Finally, we got on with the bingo. I was all set with my electronic machine loaded with 33 tickets. I was so sure that I had a good chance to win some cash with my fancy machine. The only trouble was that many people are now using the fancy machine. It costs more but you are given more tickets than you get with the regular paper book.

The house prizes were set at £100 and there is a big money game worth a whopping 20 grand. Me and my hubby would kick our heels up and take a luxury holiday with a fabulous win like that. One woman has won it so far at our club. I found it odd that she was at bingo the following week. How greedy can you be? Maybe it wasn’t greed but a love of the game.

If you won a major jackpot, would you be back at the bingo hall or casino right away?
