Bingo Night Live

Bingo has always had a very special place in the heart of the UK population. Modern television programmes such as Bingo Night Live on ITV1, Gala TV on Sky Channel 861 and Bingo Joy on Sky TV are certainly helping to re-ignite the passion for the traditional Bingo game. Like anything, trends and fashions change, it is therefore refreshing to know that although everything around us may change (and sometimes not for the better) we do currently have one very traditional constant– that of Bingo!

The latest Bingo phenomenon without doubt is Bingo on TV. Interactive TV and the internet has meant that the Bingo Club can now be brought into the living room. This has extended the market considerably, and now the Nation can enjoy bingo rather than just one small demographic . This has enabled Bingo to become a more rounded entertainment vehicle and de-mystifies and if you like de-bluerinses the most British of pastimes.

In the case of Bingo Night Live, players register online, print off their free bingo cards then watch the show to see if they have won. The show is of course entertainment, but it also provides those all important bingo numbers. The whole concept provides a more glamorous sophisticated presentation which is fronted by charismatic presenters rather than the old style bingo hall caller. The regular presenters Anthony Crank, Jayne Sharpe, Melinda Messenger, Michael Underwood and Nichola Dixon are regularly joined by celebrities from popular culture who are celebrity fans of the Bingo game.

In the case of Gala TV the bingo is not free, Gala TV is in fact a dedicated bingo channel. Bingo cards can be purchased either online or via the interactive Sky channel. As with all of the Gala stable the TV Bingo site is of a class that befits the Gala name, the presenters are charming and personable and are assisted by real (more traditional style) bingo callers.

There is no doubt that TV bingo is here to stay, as well as bingo adverts, you only need look at the SKY TV schedule and you will find an assortment of bingo offerings, from Brian Dowling presenting the Bingojoy.com TV bingo games on Sky info.TV2 channel and BingoOnThebox.com featured on channel 166. Pick up your remote, fetch yourself a hot drink, relax on the sofa and get playing, no need to wave your bingo wings for this one!
