The UK National Bingo Game is in for a huge shock later on this year when Gala Bingo pulls out of the “National”. Gala bingo has announced that it is pulling out of the national Game in August? I can’t help thinking that this actually might be a bad decision for Gala Bingo though, particularly because of the fact that the National game offers such huge prizes and is a massive draw card for UK bingo players.
This decision will mean that a third of the clubs participating in the National game will be lost, essentially this means that jackpots will probably drop to all time lows and this could be really devastating for the smaller bingo clubs and groups as they are not in a position to offer the huge jackpots offered by the two largest bingo operators in the UK, namely Gal and Mecca.
Every week in the UK approximately ₤1 million in bingo prizes is given away throughout the country through the links games provided by a central computer, however Gala bingo has decided that they want to focus on its own jackpot game particularly since the law has changed regarding roll over prizes.
