Party Bingo is a faster game of bingo, played prior to the Main Session and during the intervals. You don`t need any books for these games as there are gameboards on the tables. Prices start at 25p a game and you can easily win up to £200. Just place your money in the slot next to your board to start.
The caller will let you know what game we are playing and the cost to play. A winning combination is any vertical, horizontal or diagonal line of four numbers. They will call the numbers, together with the colour e.g. Red 8.
Linked games either mean you are playing with everybody sat in each of our 170 Gala Bingo clubs, or it could mean you are playing against everybody in every Bingo club in the UK.
Linked game prizes are usually large amounts of money – on the National Game you could win a massive £200,000 on every Sunday for example.
There is now a new rollover jackpot Link game called Gala High 5, click here for more details.
For both afternoon and evening there will be a set of tickets for Earlies, Mains, and Late sessions. For session start times, please look at the individual club details or the club you are planning to visit.
