National Bingo Game
The National Bingo Game is a 'main stage' bingo rather than an interval, tabletop, or a side game. It is operated by the National Bingo Game Association based in the UK and is played in most licensed British bingo clubs every day except Christmas Day. Origin of the National Bingo Game The game was introduced under the UK legislation as a game of multiple bingo. It was launched in June 1986. The technology became available whereby clubs were able to connect to a game control center via modem to receive a pre-selected list of numbers which were called in the same time window in each participating bingo club. Clubs then relayed the details of the winner in their club back to the game control, who would then award the National Prize to the club whose winner had claimed the lowest number of calls across the country and Regional Prizes to the clubs whose winners had claimed in the lowest number of calls in the given regions. Game format The format and pricing of the game had changed several times since its launch. The original price was 25 pence per ticket, but this has changed to 30 pence, 40 pence, 50
