National Bingo Game was an Innovation
The National Bingo Game has become somewhat of a bingo institution within the UK and it still remains one of the most popular land based bingo games to play today, despite Gala Bingo taking the decision to withdraw from this game last year. The National Bingo game first came about way back in 1986. To get off the ground the NGB first required parliamentary legislation and a new bingo act.
At present around 300 land based bingo clubs throughout the UK link up every single day (twice daily) to bring players huge cash jackpot prizes to play for. The only day the National Bingo game does not take place is on Christmas day.
Land based bingo clubs in the UK first became established in the 1960’s. When television was introduced into the homes of UK residents it made many cinemas and theatres somewhat redundant, but it was not until the revise of the gamin act in 1968 which allowed betting to be undertaken in (member only) establishments did we see bingo clubs spring up in most major towns and cities, bringing disused cinemas and theatres back to life once more.
The game of bingo grew ever more popular during the 1970’s, but it was the 1980,s when bingo truly stepped into its own and started giving people the chance to win life changing sums of money and this was down to the creation and launch on the National Bingo game.
Virtue fusion is a major player in the online bingo industry and news has been leaked that a (National Bingo Style) game could hit bingo sites on the net in the not so distant future. Virtue Fusion software based bingo sites already link up with each other to bring players the (bingo linx) and huge guaranteed cash jackpots to play for twice daily, but unlike the current Land Based National bingo game, these jackpots are (guaranteed) and not (progressive jackpots).
The National Bingo game was an innovation in itself, where even today they still work very closely (The Bingo Association), which was set up as a UK trade association for the licensed bingo industry. The National Bingo game has also been associated with many charity drives over the years and at present they have joined forces with (Breakthrough Brest Cancer) to help raise much needed funds and awareness for this disease, which has touched the lives of many families.
