True Bingo Stories

That’s enough giggles for now, our faces are aching from all the laughing (that may not be 100% true).

What about a few true bingo stories to give us all a chance to calm down.

A Very Special Surprise

CrownResidents of the Shire Hall care home in Cardiff got a bit of a shock in 2021, when their virtual game of bingo was called by a couple of famous faces.

None other than Prince William and Kate Middleton took over the game, calling numbers until they had a winner in a right royal game of bingo.

They weren’t necessarily the best bingo callers ever, as one of the residents commented that the bingo calling “Wasn’t as good as it should have been”, which the royal couple found hilarious, but everyone had a great time.

Fingers in the Till

Stealing MoneyBetween 2012 and 2016, two greedy cashiers from the Pavilion Bingo Club in Liverpool had been stealing up to £20,000 a year from their employer.

The scam put the club in financial trouble and threatened all of their co-workers jobs, which considering the two thieves had been working there for 20 years is awful.

They got their comeuppance when they both went on holiday together using their ill-gotten gains and the manager noticed that takings were significantly higher while they were away. Both were jailed for a year.

Down on Your Knees

Wedding RingsThey might not have been 43, but Aaron Stott thought that his local Mecca Bingo hall was the ideal place to get down on one knee and propose to his girlfriend, Kayleigh. They were both regulars there after all.

It was a very busy night and the bingo caller handed him the mic, and then he called up his beloved and popped the question. She said yes (thank goodness!) and the crowd cheered their congratulations before the games continued.

The proposal was filmed as well, and became an internet sensation being viewed over 100,000 times. Fellas, if you’re reading this, asking the big question at the bingo seems like a pretty successful way to get the answer you want. Who knows, a full house might even come soon after.
