    4 Stars Onlinebingo (Meccabingo.com) 21/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Is fun, can win money, play from the comfort of your own home

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be addictive

    I currently work for meccabingo.com, who also have two other links that you can use, meccagames.com and bluequare.com. Ok i wont babble on about my job lol, i am quite sure you will get bored, but i will give you a few details at the end and compare some sites. There is lots of online bingo sites available, including UK sites and American sites. Most have a deposit bonus. The thing i find with some people that play bingo can become addicted as it is fun, i myself play online bingo, but i limit myself to how much i put on my account, and only use what i can afford to lose. You should never go ... more

    4 Stars Welcome to the blue rinse brigade 25/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gets you out and about, no kids allowed, yay!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be expensive if you get hooked like some of the girls.

    Have you ever noticed that I always post an opinion late on a Wednesday night? That's because it's my Bingo night, yes Bingo. You may scoff, crack jokes about my age and even laugh uncontrollably, but I am not ashamed to say I am now a regular and have been for a few months now. I joined my local Mecca Bingo Club around five months ago, after a short break we had with friends in Clacton. We had played Bingo there and both decided that we'd have a go when we got home. That was it, instant addiction, you see we won the first night, only £15, but that was enough to get us totally hooked and ready ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Safe to go to unacompanied.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can cost a lot if you are not careful

    When I was a little girl, I remember very clearly the queue of old ladies , lined up at the bus stop, on their way to see if they could make all their dreams come true at the local bingo hall.I remember the halls as well,dark and almost seedy in appearance. If you go back a few years to the days before the National lottery, if a man fancied a 'flutter' he could be found ' down the bookies' on a Saturday afternoon,whereas the female of the family would depart, of an evening to the local hall to partake in a game of bingo. Things have changed an awful lot in the last 10 years and the images of ... more

    5 Stars BINGO FRENCH STYLE 21/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Community Fun.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages People get obsessed with it.

    I used to live in a small village with 400 inhabitants and when they advertised Bingo or "Lotto" as it is called here, I thought why not ? I actually hate bingo in the U.K. because it is so commercial and I thought that in a little village like mine, it would probably be a few old ladies and a chance to get quicker with my French numbers. Louis sits at the end table with a glass of wine in his hand, and two cards in front of him that he can neither see nor care about. He is old, around 100 would be my guess, and he leans half on the table and half on his walking stick. He is not there to win ... more

    5 Stars Moved Bingo Review! 13/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great Fun, Can Win Money!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not much chance of winning big!

    'Two and Two Twenty Two Little Ducks, Quack, Quack', 'All The Ones It's Legs Eleven, Come On Whistlers' When someone says let's go and play Bingo these are the images that instantly enter my head, I have been brought up going to holiday camps and watching my mum and dad play Bingo. I then went on to be a Bingo Caller while I was in Tenerife and learnt all the calls for all the numbers and also learnt to call in Spanish. So when I signed up and entered my local Gala Bingo hall I was shocked by the seriousness of the game. How to play Bingo: First you are given a bingo ticket, this ticket will ... more

    5 Stars No wonder britains bingoing mad 02/10/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages you can win money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can spend too much if your not careful

    Hands up I admit it I go to bingo and I love it. The thrill of the draw and the possability of winning have got me hooked but I'll let you into a secret I hate the number six why? find out at the end if youre still awake. I go to my local bingo hall at least once a week more if I have the cash. It is basically a game of chance where you buy bingo books usually in sets of six but you can play less if you wish. There is a set of ninety balls which come out at random and when you have that number you cross it off. You play for a single line then a double and finally a full house. My neighbour ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap (ish ) and increased odds of coming home with a win!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Drifting smoke (if youre a non-smoker)

    It's been much more of a different Sunday today. Mother-in-law (sorry no bad jokes here, we get on!) rang up and asked if I would like to go to Bingo this afternoon with her as it was a free ticket afternoon for members. Well, BINGO??? ME?? I checked my diary and amongst the empty pages, found yet another empty page with today's date on it so it looked as though I would be sitting in an old cinema with 200 grannies all chain smoking and moaning when they didn’t win. So, at 1pm up rolled Barbara and we embarked on the 20 minute journey to Warrington. When we arrived I expected a run down little ... more

    5 Stars Gala Bingo, Boreham wood, Hertfordshire 26/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great night out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not winning

    Bingo was always known as a pensioner's day out, not any more!! I normally go to bingo once a week and was very surprised by the amount of young people that go. Gala, Boreham Wood. The Gala in Boreham Wood was re-furbished and re-opened in January 2006. It is just off the high street, with parking for around about 150 cars. Parking is free from 6.30pm, in a well lit car park. It is easy to get to by public transport from the surrounding areas, and a main link train station. As you walk in there is a reception deck for new members to apply, which is free and can be done on the day that you wish ... more
