Huge turnouts and big prizes – why we all love bingo!

Whether it is your guilty pleasure, or you’re a bingo fanatic, I’m sure deep down we all love a game of bingo —  us at Coral certainly think so. The excitement and hope that builds as you get closer and closer to the win is what makes the game so thrilling. Although, you are usually left disappointed when someone else claims the prize just as you believed you were about to win. Either way, it’s fun!

Playing bingo captures the imagination of players from all over the world and here we will look at some amazing bingo stats.

Colombians love it!

Yes, the biggest ever bingo game was actually held in Bogotá in Colombia way back in 2006. There were an unbelievable 70,080 participants. Slightly more than you get down the local town hall!

We’d also feel sorry for the announcer on that one.

It’s a remarkable record and you can’t imagine that it will get surpassed any time soon.

We’d imagine whoever scooped the big prize that day was one lucky winner, and it could be your turn to be a lucky bingo winner with Coral’s Bingo Linx tournament. Okay, there won’t be 70,000 players, but there will be a lot, and that’s because there’s £10,000 on the line.

Here are the details

Bingo Linx games occur three times a day, with different prizes up for grabs.

At 12:30pm each day there will be £1,500 on the table in prize money, with £1,000 going to whoever gets the full house, £350 for two lines and £150 for one line.

At 6pm each day, £2,500 will be won. £1,750 going to the full house winner, £500 for two lines and £250 for one line.

The generosity doesn’t end there though, at 10:30pm the full house winner will claim £2,500, £1,000 will be awarded for two lines and £500 for one line. Incredible!
