In the interest of fairness it would be remiss of me not to tell you about an online bingo sites promotion simply because I personally wouldn't play at the site.

Although prize draws aren't a favourite online bingo promotion of mine some prizes on offer are worth chasing the entries for and win a Wii at All Bingo Club is one of them. The Wii games console from Nintendo seems to be a hot favourite amongst offline gamers least of all because of the popular Wii Fit games and sports available. What better what better way to shape up in your own living room whilst having fun at the same time!

This is Nottingham reported on 3rd April plans for a "super" Mecca Bingo hall that is to be opened in Beeston. So what makes this bingo hall better or more likely to succeed than the heap of clubs we have seen close over the last 18 months?
