At the heart of National Bingo Day was the National Bingo Game, the flagship game of the land based Bingo Industry, and a great starting point around which to anchor a truly cross company Bingo sector event!
Bingo clubs saw their highest level of trading since May 17th recording a 20% increase on the week prior, with National Bingo Day itself achieving a 30% increase across the day and creating five Jackpot winners who shared the £100,000 giveaway: plus, hundreds more winners in each jackpot winning club receiving £100. The Jackpot wins were:
Afternoon: £50,000
Buzz Enfield, Buzz Motherwell and Club 3000 Greenock, with each winner receiving £16,666.67.
Evening: £50,000
Buzz Lincoln and Castle Swansea, with each winner receiving £25,000.
Earlier in the week a special value Bingo session on the Wednesday saw another significant business result, with a whopping 90% increase in the evening and 30% uplift in the afternoon.
The evening of Friday 25th June also saw Bingo Clubs raise more than £15,000 for Variety the Children’s charity, The Bingo Association charity, with over thirty MP’s attending their local Bingo Club to call a special charity game.
These great results were achieved despite social distancing constraints, which impacted capacity, reducing the ability of many bingo clubs to accommodate everyone who wanted to attend – in the absence of such restrictions who knows what the numbers would have been!
Overall the event was a huge success and also created a lot of media interest and social media activity, with the industry excited about National Bingo Day 2022 already and what can be achieved!
