High Five at Gala Bingo makes £250,000 winner

Reported in the Evening Times on 19th June 2008

Even though I attend my local Gala Bingo club quite regularly I'm not really too sure on how the High 5 bingo game works but I do know that Gala Bingo are withdrawing all their land based bingo clubs from the National Bingo Game from 1st September to concentrate on the High 5 Game.

If you take a look at the National Bingo website it explains a little about how the High 5 game works. Basically it's a link game throughout all the Gala Bingo clubs and the jackpot if not won just keeps getting bigger and bigger. If a player calls bingo on a number that ends in a 5 i.e. 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 then they get half of the bingo jackpot whilst the other half is shared amongst all the bingo players in the club.
